KLAIR - Dynamic Microclimate Intelligence for Sustainable Urban Development
KLAIR develops an AI-powered, dynamic urban climate map that simulates microclimatic stress as well as future scenarios such as greening or densification. By integrating climate, structural and health data, the tool enables evidence-based evaluation of adaptation measures and their health impacts. In this way, KLAIR supports cities of all sizes in climate-resilient, socially equitable and cost-efficient planning.

Systemic learning, accelerated knowledge transfer and new capacities as well as innovative impulses and the more ambitious design of ongoing activities will help to align the processes of the Vienna City Administration in a way that best supports the achievement of climate neutrality and resilience by 2040. The Klimapionierstadt Wien Partnership also contributes to putting selected pilot neighbourhoods on the path to climate neutrality by 2030.
NUCLEUS - Sustainable Urban Clusters for Climate-Neutral, Efficient, and Eco-Friendly Urban Development
The exploratory project NUCLEUS examines how Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) can serve as catalysts for positive urban developments. The climate pioneer district Tagger Areal in Graz serves as a case study. The project aims to identify technical and regulatory challenges and develop future-proof energy concepts to enable the exchange of electricity, heat, and cooling with surrounding industrial enterprises.
Mission2030 – Climate-neutral Smart City Klagenfurt 2030
As Austria's only city, Klagenfurt is part of the EU Cities Mission 2030. Along with Rome, Barcelona, Laibach and other European cities, the Carinthian state capital has set itself the goal of being climate neutral by 2030. A project that is not utopia, but quite realistic! An essential component and backbone of this mission is the Austrian Pioneer Cities Program.
Kapfenberg_2_zeroCO2 - Creation of the 2040 climate neutrality plan for the industrial city of Kapfenberg
For the industrial city of Kapfenberg in Upper Styria with over 22,000 residents, achieving climate neutrality is both challenging and necessary. The companies of Kapfenberg have been heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Implementation of climate protection measures is essential for their future viability and for maintaining a high quality of life for the population of Kapfenberg.
Tulln Climate Neutral City 2040 (Tulln2040)
The core of the project is the development of a systemic strategy at a city-wide level that shows how the city of Tulln will achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
Abwärme_4_Kapfenberg - 100 % industrielle Abwärmeauskopplung Kapfenberg
The project aims to explore the feasibility of maximizing industrial waste heat extraction into the district heating system of the municipality of Kapfenberg to foster the defossilization path.
Climate Strategy 2040 by and with the municipality of Vöcklabruck
The municipality of Vöcklabruck is one of the first Climate Alliance municipalities in Upper Austria, a long-standing member of the Vöckla-Ager Climate and Energy Model Region (KEM) and regularly implements measures and projects in the field of climate protection.
Klima.Eisen.Stadt - Climate neutrality roadmap Eisenstadt 2040
The project "Climate Neutrality Roadmap Eisenstadt 2040" represents a pioneering initiative to guide the capital city of Eisenstadt towards climate neutrality by 2040.
Mistelbach climate neutrality roadmap
In January 2024, the municipality of Mistelbach in Lower Austria unanimously decided to draw up a climate neutrality roadmap for 2040. The municipality is thus continuing on its path towards climate neutrality and can build on numerous completed activities.
Climate Pioneer City Graz (KPS_Graz)
As an integral part of the ongoing Climate Change Mitigation Plan Graz process, the Climate Pioneer City Graz project with the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) will make a noticeable contribution to ensuring that the planned local processes and measures to achieve climate neutrality are implemented more quickly. This will be achieved primarily through the financing of additional climate protection experts in the city administration.
Optimization in Existing Structures - Implementation Concept for Energy Optimization in the Existing District of Nofels in Feldkirch
The project aims to optimize energy use in the district through savings, densification, retrofitting, and energy storage. Additionally, climate-adapted open spaces are intended to enhance quality of life and resilience. The results will be scaled up to the entire city and make a significant contribution to achieving climate neutrality.
Climate Pioneer Districts Graz (KPQ Graz): Preparation of the climate-neutral districts ÖBB Eastern Railway Station and Smart City North-West
The Climate Pioneer Districts Graz (KPQ Graz) project is preparing the development of the districts "ÖBB Eastern Railway Station" and "Smart City North-West" in Graz towards climate neutrality. Based on the lessons learned of the evaluation of the already realised district "Smart City Graz", an innovative district concept is being created for the infrastructure topics of energy, mobility, green/open space and social sustainability. The central goal of the exploration is the subsequent realization of at least one of the two pilot quarters.
Wiener Neustadt Climate neutral
Wiener Neustadt as a pioneering city, is making a conscious and ambitious transition towards climate neutrality. This complex transformation requires different measures. The measures shall both be developed in-house or developed by others and transferred to Wiener Neustadt. The effect of the entire bundle of measures from the different areas (e.g. governance, implementation districts, learning environment or energy, mobility, buildings, etc.) is subject to fact-based climate monitoring.
K3 - Climate-neutral Klagenfurt Clinic
As part of Klagenfurt on Lake Wörthersee's climate neutrality ambitions, the focus is on the development of climate-neutral districts with a wide variety of functions and uses in the city area. In collaboration with the state hospital operating company - KABEG, a climate neutrality roadmap for the Klagenfurt clinic district had been developed with scientific support from JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH.
Carbon Accounting Pioneer Cities - carbon accounting and climate neutral cities
With the mission climate neutral cities the Federal Ministry of Innovation, Mobility and Infrastructure (BMIMI, previously: BMK) has set a focus that will accelerate the achievement of climate and energy goals through research, technology and innovation. As part of this mission, the Environment Agency Austria will accompany and support the pioneer cities in creating a harmonized GHG balance sheet for cities. The harmonized GHG accounting forms the basis for the targeted alignment of strategies and measures to achieve climate neutrality in cities and communities.
KliB40-Climate Compass: Climate-neutral Bregenz 2040, climate compass for the structured participation of stakeholders and the citizens
