Climate protection in municipalities: New digital practical guide

Proven work aid and at the same time standard work for climate protection work in municipalities can be used digitally in future. Difu, ifeu and Climate Alliance developed the guide on behalf of the BMWK.
 
Berlin. The practical guide "Climate Protection in Municipalities" - a proven working aid and at the same time the standard work for work in municipal climate protection - is now available digitally. The new website www.leitfaden.kommunaler-klimaschutz.de replaces the previous print edition. The site provides comprehensive know-how that is necessary for the implementation of climate protection measures in municipalities.

The new offer of the Service and Competence Centre: Municipal Climate Protection (SK:KK) at the German Institute of Urban Affairs (Difu) was developed in cooperation with the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (ifeu) and the Climate Alliance on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK).
The guide is designed as a practical knowledge resource for climate protection staff in municipalities and organisations, but also for other actors in climate protection. Descriptive profiles of various climate protection measures provide information on their effectiveness and inspire action. Numerous infographics visualise the know-how conveyed.
The comprehensively updated practical guide is aimed at beginners and people with previous knowledge of municipal climate protection who want to delve more deeply into the subject. In terms of content, the new digital offer ties in with previous print editions with the main topics "Climate protection staff", "Climate protection concept" and "Fields of action in municipal climate protection".
The website, which is also optimised for mobile use, opens up different access points: thematically via related articles, by keyword with the search function or via the table of contents. The respective chapters and the practical guide as a whole can also be downloaded as barrier-free PDFs.
