For several years the city of Klagenfurt follows extensive climate action measures. Thanks to these measures, a significant reduction of GHG emissions has already been achieved in recent years. Nevertheless, as illustrated in the action plan, further measures will be necessary to reach the envisaged climate neutrality till 2030.

 

The climate actions are a combination of direct GHG emissions measures (83% from the baseline year 2011) and GHG emissions compensation measures (17%). Most of the climate actions can be primarily categorized as “hard actions” as their focus is on the creation of new infrastructure (e.g. the electrification of the entire bus fleet). However, in most cases these primarily “hard action” projects also involve “soft actions”, such as raising awareness and behavioral changes (e.g. it’s not sufficient to introduce electric buses in Klagenfurt without a corresponding shift from private mobility toward public mobility).

 

Generally speaking, the necessary actions for reaching climate neutrality are in the fields of energy systems, mobility & transport, and the built environment. For the successful implementation of the targeted climate actions, it is necessary that local authorities, local businesses, society as a whole and any relevant stakeholders cooperate and strive together for the goal of climate neutrality by 2030.
