Braunau 2040

The process initially aims to ensure that the municipal players in politics and administration are well coordinated for the cross-cutting issues of climate protection and climate change adaptation and to enable an agreed, comprehensible and implementation-oriented approach. 

As a result, the climate neutrality roadmap should be understood as an operational roadmap and implementation plan that sets out the most concrete measures and projects possible up to 2040. This plan is to be submitted to a municipal council resolution and will be reflected accordingly in medium-term financial planning.

The municipality is actively involved in the process. The Upper Austrian Climate Alliance will support the content-related and methodological development through workshops on the topics of mobility, energy and buildings, soil and climate change adaptation, data management as well as procurement, supply and disposal measures and awareness-raising and will prepare the results together with the municipality so that a climate strategy can finally be adopted in the committees (committee, city council and municipal council). 

In addition to the administration in the municipality, climate ideas from the population are also welcome and the organization of a climate council based on the Vorarlberg model is planned as a participatory format.

As a result, we expect a document tailored to the city of Braunau am Inn that serves as a broadly coordinated guideline and signpost for politics and administration in the direction of climate neutrality.
