international cooperation in focus

Corine Mauch and Peter Tschentscher support Ludwig in the demand for more intensive international cooperation. Mauch emphasizes the active partnership between the cities, while Tschentscher emphasizes the parallel strategies of the social democratically guided city regulations. The exchange in trilogue format promotes discussions about major urban projects and the associated challenges, which was already discussed in the previous meetings in Hamburg, Vienna and Zurich.

An example from international cooperation in climate protection is the city partnership between Bonn and La Paz, which has existed since 2002. The focus is on sustainable development and concrete measures for climate protection, which helps the city of La Paz to implement more environmentally friendly measures.

Another aspect of the discussions becomes clear by the initiative for transformative urban mobility (tumi). This was initiated in 2016 by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and is aiming to make cities more climate -friendly and worth living worldwide. Via Tumi, more than two billion euros have already been invested in the modernization of sustainable urban mobility, which underlines the need to develop innovative mobility solutions in Vienna and its partner cities. BMZ emphasizes that climate-friendly, safe and affordable urban mobility is crucial for access to work, health care and education.

The Trilog in Vienna offers an important platform for the city leaders to discuss progress, challenges and possible solutions. In particular, the topics of climate protection and social justice are the focus to sustainably improve the quality of life in the partner cities.
