Climate protection offensive: 1.5 million euros for resilient projects in Austria!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The climatic challenges that Austria currently plague cannot be overlooked: extreme heat, drought time, devastating forest fires and floods illustrate the urgent need to find new solutions. In order to counteract this situation, the Ministry of Climate Protection (BMK) has a financial support program, which is endowed with a total of 1.5 million euros. The aim is to support climate-like transformation projects in various regions of the country, such as ots.at . Minister of Climate Protection Leonore Gewessler emphasizes that the effects of the climate crisis are becoming more and more dramatic and that quick action is now required.

The funding program "Exemplary projects: climate -like transformation in regions" is expressly aimed at all model regions in Austria that want to implement innovative approaches to combat climate change. The funding includes projects within a single model region and cooperations between several regions. This development should not only strengthen climate protection, but also promotes economic resilience, as Managing Director Bernd Vogl explains from the climate and energy funds. The tender is now open until March 28, 2025, whereby applications must be submitted online. Details and further information can be found on the website of the climate and energy model regions, as Environmental Förderung.at indicates.
