This symposium - part of the Climate Action Days Linz 2022 - aims to inform and involve citizens on the topic of climate change.

Based on the concept of climate-social policy, the discussion is related to the city of Linz:

what are the challenges in climate protection and climate change adaptation and what measures are being implemented in the city of Linz,
which participants (citizens, initiatives and associations, businesses, NGOs, the administration, research institutions) are active in climate work in a variety of ways
how citizens can participate and get involved in climate policy processes; and
what the next relevant steps could be on the way to a climate-social city of Linz.

On Saturday, Linz's Main Square will be transformed into a Climate Action Zone: interactive hands-on stations, a repair café, workshops, excursions, the "Climate Experience Room" in the Pfarrgasse and much more information on topics like climate, transport and energy awaits the citizens.

The Main Day is the highlight of the Climate Action Days Linz and, with the format "Climate Council meets Citizens", for the first time offers Linzers the opportunity to talk to the members of the Climate Council. In addition, numerous excursions will be offered to special climate-relevant places in Linz, such as the Climate Oasis Linz / Lustenau of the Schwemmland Association, the hydrogen pilot plant of voestalpine or the deep space "Welcome to Planet B" of the AEC, which will either start from the Main square or have the meeting point directly on site.

Talks with the Climate Council and information on the climate fund projects of the Climate Office at the Enter_Tainer.
the Department of Urban Climatology and Environment (Magistrat) will also be on site to provide information on the urban climate.

Climate Action Main Day Programm Poster

Die Climate Action Days Linz sind ein Green Event!

Mach Klima zu deinem Thema ist das Motto der Veranstaltung. Das nehmen auch wir als Veranstalter:innen ernst und bemühen uns über die Inhalte hinweg um ein klimafreundliches und sozial gerechtes Handeln.

Mobilität und Anreise:

Die Veranstaltungsfläche findet ihr im Herzen von Linz – am Hauptplatz. Damit ist eine bequeme und schnelle Anreise zu Fuß, mit dem Fahrrad, Bim oder Bus ganz einfach möglich.

Falls du von weiter herkommst, kannst du hier eine Verbindung heraussuchen:

LINZ LINIEN Fahrplanauskunft (linzag.at)
https://fahrplan.oebb.at/webapp/

Wenn ihr mit dem Auto anreist, bildet nach Möglichkeit eine Fahrgemeinschaft.

Abfall:

Im Projekt steht der ökologische Umgang mit Ressourcen an erster Stelle, angefangen von Vermeiden, über Reparieren, Upcycling bis hin zum Recycling von verschiedensten Produkten. Dazu haben wir auch zahlreiche Mitmachangebote, angefangen von Plastikshreddern und in neue Formen gießen bis hin zum Reparieren alter Elektrogeräte über Upcycling von Bekleidung. Für den Müll der sich nicht vermeiden lässt, haben wir zwei gut sichtbare Müllinseln installiert!

Essen und Trinken:

Bei unserer Veranstaltung wird es keine Verpflegung geben. Die Lokale am Hauptplatz freuen sich aber, wenn ihr eure Getränke und Speisen bei ihnen genießt. Solltet ihr eigene Verpflegung mitnehmen, empfehlen wir auf Mehrweggeschirr und –flaschen oder auf Pfandflaschen zurückzugreifen. Sollte dennoch ein Müll entstehen, bitten wir euch diesen sorgsam an den zwei Müllinseln zu entsorgen.
