In recent years, the e5-state-capital Bregenz has developed a series of well-founded plans and strategies with the aim of achieving climate neutrality or energy autonomy by 2050. Despite this preliminary work, three significant challenges remain, which will be addressed within the frame-work of this project: 

  1. data collection, including energy supply potential, mobility, building renovation and consumption,
  2. linking existing plans and strategies with new data, and
  3. developing further measures from existing strategies into a climate neutrality roadmap through a participatory process with citizens, the Bregenz Climate Council and futher stakeholders like the business community, Bregenz schools and associations, and religious comunities. 

The central goal of the project is to create a consistent, comprehensive, and feasible roadmap to achieve climate neutrality in Bregenz by 2040.

KliB40-Climate Compass: Climate-neutral Bregenz 2040, climate compass for the structured partici­pation of stakeholders and the citizens

The "KliB40 Climate Compass" supports Bregenz on its path to climate neutrality by 2040 through transparent development, selection, and monitoring of measures. It facilitates the coordination of climate protection activities and actively involves stake­holders. By evaluating existing software solutions, the project ensures optimal digital support for planning and implementing the city's climate strategy.

Project duration: 2024 - 2026
