Mayor candidacy in Cölbe: Dr. Ried talks about traffic and climate

Cölbe. On Sunday, December 1st, Mayor Dr. Jens Ried compete for re -election. In an interview with this newspaper, he explained what the citizens can expect over the next six years. A central topic is climate protection, whereby Ried emphasizes that adaptation to the already noticeable effects of climate change is of great importance.

"The responsibility of the municipalities is to actively work in climate protection," Ried replied to the role of the municipality in climate protection when asked. In his view, not only measures to reduce CO2 emissions must be taken, but also strategies for adapting to the climatic changes have to be developed. He sees a close link between climate protection, adaptation to climate change and the protection of biodiversity. This can achieve a holistic approach that meets the diverse challenges.

climate protection and inter -municipal cooperation

The municipal heat plan is an important step in this direction. Ried mentioned that the local projects such as flood protection measures in the Cölber Lahnvorland region should not be viewed in isolation. They are part of a comprehensive plan that aims to create synergies and generate greater benefits for the community. "The" Goldberg "Klimaquartier project," says Ried, "stands for our strategy to integrate smaller projects up to individual streets."

The participation of the citizens is crucial for the success of these measures. Ried emphasizes that everyone can actively involve the process of climate protection and adaptation to climate change. "We have to motivate citizens and give them the opportunity to participate in the design of their environment," he said. This should not only increase the quality of life, but also to raise awareness of ecological questions.

An important aspect is inter -municipal cooperation. "Cölbe has successfully cooperated with other municipalities in many areas. But there is even more potential," continued Ried. Especially in the area of energy supply and local heating, more efficient solutions could be found through cooperation. The connection of various energy concepts would also advance climate protection.

Mobility think about borders

Another point that Ried spoke to is mobility. Although mobility connects people, it is often not considered sufficiently across municipal borders. The interlinking of different types of locomotion must be improved to offer the citizens better options. "We need more cooperation between the municipalities to develop well -thought -out mobility concepts," said Ried.

In the cultural area, closer cooperation could lead to a more diverse offer. "A coordinated event concept increases the attractiveness of our communities," he said. Ried is also convinced that the cities and municipalities in the district are important for securing the basic democratic order. "We have to work together to preserve the values of our society," he summarized.

By combining these different approaches and the inclusion of the Citizen, Cölber society tackle sustainable topics that will be important over the next few years. Ried's vision of increasing the quality of life in the community with changing environmental conditions is the focus of his election campaign for the coming years.
