KlimaP Stockerau

The nature reserve serves as a recreational area for locals and tourists, as a cooling element for the town in summer and as a water reservoir and flood defence.

The strategic discussion of climate issues is nothing new for the town, but climate protection in the sense of reducing greenhouse gas emissions is increasingly coming into focus.

Stockerau wants to develop its own vision and implementation strategy for climate neutrality by 2040. This will build on previous municipal, political and spatial planning strategies and further develop its ambitions with regard to realisable fields of action within its own sphere of influence for the future.

So far, some partial aspects of an integrative climate neutrality roadmap have been developed:

• 2012 'Municipal facility and property management' masterplan
• 2015 'Stockerau transport concept'
• 2017 Joining the Climate and Energy Model Region (KEM) and Climate Adaptation Region (KLAR!) and the project management organisation 10vor Wien, to which a total of 11 municipalities belong
• 2024 (currently ongoing) Local development concept (spatial planning incl. anchored active soil protection)

The result of the 'KlimaP Stockerau' project is to be a climate neutrality roadmap for the town, which will describe concrete objectives and implementation measures to achieve the climate targets at municipal level.

This will create the basis for setting the strategic course at the political and administrative level for the entire city, showing how the municipality of Stockerau will work with all relevant stakeholders to achieve climate neutrality by 2040.
