Leitzersdorf in climate protection: two decades of sustainable commitment

The municipality of Leitzersdorf recently celebrated a remarkable milestone: 25 years of membership in the climate alliance. This initiative, which was launched in 1999, has developed into an important cornerstone of climate protection in the region over the years. Mayor Sabine Hopf emphasized in her speech: "We are proud to be part of the climate alliance and to implement sustainable projects together with our citizens."

As part of a festive regulars' table in Stockerau, in which other anniversary communities from the Weinviertel were also honored, Petra Schön, the managing director of the climate alliance in Lower Austria, expressed their pride: "The long-term climate alliance communities are role models." This underlines how important this initiative is for local action in climate protection.

climate projects and future steps

Leitzersdorf has launched numerous initiatives in recent years, including the care of the Waschberg meadows and the creation of climate shapes. These projects are designed to protect and promote the environment. In addition, new trees were planted and various areas were greened to minimize the community's ecological footprint.

The governor Stephan Pernkopf emphasized the role of communities in the climate protection efforts: "Lower Austria's communities are important partners. Due to their tireless efforts, Lower Austria is a pioneer in climate protection throughout Europe." This illustrates how municipalities like Leitzersdorf are not only local, but also in a larger context. They actively contribute to a sustainable handling of our resources.

The climate alliance itself is the largest European network on the subject of climate protection and combines municipalities, companies and educational institutions from 25 different countries. Their goal is to effectively contribute to the protection of the climate, while at the same time promoting awareness of the concerns of indigenous peoples in the Amazon. In Austria alone, over 3,800 member organizations, including more than 420 municipalities in Lower Austria, are committed to a sustainable lifestyle and social change.

The initiative of Leitzersdorf is not only an example of active climate protection, but also an impetus for other communities to take similar paths. These developments present the opportunity to gain importance through community action and to actively combat climate change.
