// The symposium for a climate-social city

CLIMATE 
ACTION DAYS
Linz 2024

Friday, 29 November 2024, 2 to 7 p.m., Wissensturm Linz

What are cities like Linz doing for the climate transition?
What opportunities does current European policy offer for this?
And what do successful implementations look like in practice?

Find out more about these questions at our symposium. In presentations and workshops, you will hear about ideas on how cities are defining and pursuing their climate goals. You will learn about examples of best practice and discuss how climate protection is implemented in everyday life. You will network
with experts and committed individuals. Take away tangible ideas for the future of urban climate protection!
