In Austria, Feldbach counts to the active players in the field of climate policy. It has already implemented numerous projects in the areas of climate protection and energy.

Short Description

The
The 'Steinerne Metzen', the landmark of the town of Feldbach (Stadtgemeinde Feldbach)

It is a member of the KLAR! "Mittleres Raabtal" as well as the KEM "Bioeconomy and Circular Economies," and as a member municipality of "Steirischen Vulkanland," it is committed to the strategic goal of "Energievision 2035." By 2035 at the latest, 100% of the heat, 100% of the fuel for our mobility, and 100% of the necessary electricity in the Vulkanland itself will be produced locally, decentralized, and sustainably. The overarching goal within the framework of the "KVMF" project is to define a strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2040, including the necessary measures, processes, and interfaces in the administration. Additionally, the project aims to create an implementation plan, design a stakeholder process with active involvement of the population, and exchange knowledge with other cities within the Austrian "Mission of Climate Neutral Cities".

The municipality of Feldbach would like to express its sincere thanks for being able to participate in the selection of the 13 pioneering small towns in Austria, to be well supported and to learn a lot from each other. Our aim was to develop a holistic climate protection model with professional support and to set short, medium and long-term goals for the four key areas. The consistent implementation of the focal points and their measures and the strong communication and media presentation created a role model function with very strong imitation effects in the economy and among private individuals. By demonstrating innovative solutions and communicating their feasibility, the population becomes aware and believes that significant long-term economic successes can be achieved through early and consistent action. With the consistent objective of "achieving maximum quality of life with minimum energy and resource consumption", we are setting ourselves, as a municipality and as citizens and businesses, a special task over the years, both quantitatively and qualitatively, which should lead to a refined lifestyle and economic culture. Through the consistent development of the holistic climate protection model, the prevailing powerlessness has also given way to a newfound confidence in its feasibility. May this confidence inspire us in the coming years to work together to make the town of Feldbach and our living space climate-friendly. Thank you for your commitment and joint implementation.
