Climate-active municipalities and regions wanted! The "Municipal Climate Protection" competition, which has been running since 2009, is now called the "Climate Active Municipality" competition and will run from January to the end of March 2016.

The new name of the nationwide competition emphasises the comprehensive commitment of local authorities to tackling climate change. We are looking for cities, municipalities and districts as well as regions in which topics such as climate-friendly construction and renovation, climate adaptation, climate-friendly mobility, sufficiency or transnational climate activities play a role. We are looking for successfully realised and effective climate projects.
Together with the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the German Institute of Urban Affairs (Difu) organises the annual "Climate Active Municipality" competition (until 2015 the "Municipal Climate Protection" competition). Co-operation partners: German Association of Cities, German Association of Counties and German Association of Towns and Municipalities.
The nationwide competition gives municipalities and regions the opportunity to present their successfully realised climate projects to a broad public and serve as a good example for others. To this end, we support the winners in publicising their award-winning projects. Among other things, the winning projects are presented as a film and in a competition documentary. The winners of the "Climate Active Municipality 2016" competition will be presented at the Municipal conferencewhich was published on 28 and 29 November 2016 in Berlin will be publicly announced and awarded prizes.
The winning municipalities will receive prize money of 25,000 euros each. The winners must reinvest the prize money in projects that serve to protect the climate or adapt to climate change and will be asked to name the measures before the award ceremony. In this way, the award does not mark the end of the activities, but is also the starting signal and motivation for continuing, optimising and for new activities. How the prize money from previous years was used.
The jury is made up of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, the Federal Environment Agency, the German Association of Cities, the German Association of Districts and the German Association of Towns and Municipalities.

URBAN MINING - The city as an eternal source of raw materials
Director: Sandra Czeczelitz
Production: Christoph Gretzmacher | twovisions Filmproduction
45 min. A 2012 Broadcast from 29.10.2012. 3sat
While the mountains of waste in our cities are growing, raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive worldwide. For decades, mineral resources have been shipped to the industrial nations and used in high-rise buildings, mobile phones and cars, for example. Today, metropolises are gigantic raw material mines. Researchers and companies are now starting to mine.
