Starting times
Early morning
Mission: Climate Neutral and Smart Cities – Austria, EU and beyond
English 200
​Cities are our world's economic, cultural and social engines - and as such, they cause around 75 % of the global CO2 emissions. 
Therefore, it is important that cities across Europe engage in mutually beneficial learning on how climate neutrality can be implemented effectively, efficiently, and in a socially just way. Experts will incorporate best practise examples.

Afternoon
From Momentum to Climate Action
English 60
The momentum to make climate action happen is as big as never before. Knowledge and awareness about the palpable climate crisis are strong, solutions exist aplenty, yet satisfying policy actions are lacking and frustration and anger are growing. What are the positive social tipping points societies need? What are prime examples of action that pave the way towards more impact?
 
Session objective: Creating a community of action – Connect with like-minded individuals, build interest groups and promote long-term action by planning next steps and follow-ups with other participants. 

//INFO: Because of bad weather, the session is going to take place in the second floor OG1 of the Volksschule Alpbach.
Volksschule , Volksschule Obergeschoß 1
