Tulln fights for the title Climate Pioneer City: On the way to neutrality!

Tulln, Österreich - Tulln is recognized as a Climate apionment city and consistently sets the course for climate neutrality by 2040! Federal Minister Leonore Gewessler gave the city of Tulln this honorable name at the Tulln Conference in 2024. This recognizes the impressive progress that the city has reached on its way to CO2 neutrality. Tulln is part of the "Climate -neutral city" initiative, which supports 13 Austrian pioneering cities. The aim is to achieve the climate goals faster through targeted research and development, as the city determined in its climate manifesto in 2019, the CO2 neutrality in the city administration until 2025 and for the entire city until 2040, as well as in Project document Tulln 2040 can be read.

comprehensive strategies for implementation

The way to climate neutrality requires massive changes in business and society. At the conference, this was discussed by experts such as Gernot Stöglehner from the University of Natural Research and Clara Linsmeier. Tulln follows tailor -made solutions with a implementation guide that integrates strategies for energy -efficient spatial planning and mobility. Significant projects, such as the "Future Park" on the site of the former Goldmann print shop, already show how existing infrastructure can be revitalized and a sustainable habitat is also created. The city also relies on measures such as the renovation of urban buildings and the expansion of climate -friendly transport offers to actively meet the challenges of climate change.

As part of “Tulln 2040”, suitable governance models are also to be developed that clarify tasks and responsibilities, but also explore financing options for the implementation of the climate goals. Mayor Mag. Peter Eisenschenk emphasizes: "We need tangible measures to pull the helm around and to preserve the world for subsequent generations." With the recognition as a climate paper town, Tulln's commitment to a sustainable future is strongly underlined, which is also underlined by the preservation of the European Energy Award in silver, which was awarded in 2022.
