The country started the tender for the annual program 2023 in the rural development program. In the development program for rural areas, the country combines structural development with climate -friendly building. Cities and municipalities can submit applications by September 30, 2022.
"Our reality of life has changed significantly in the past four months. Climate-friendly building is more important than ever and means active action Climate protection to save energy and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, strengthen regional economic cycles and make a decisive contribution to the resilience of the economy and the environment in Baden-Württemberg. href = "https://mlr.baden-wuerttemberg.de/de/unere-themen/laendliche-raum/foerderung/elr/" Class = "Link-External"> Set the right accents for the development of rural area (ELR) and consistently strengthen the incentives for climate-friendly construction, said the Minister for Nutrition, Rural Affairs and Consumer protection, Peter Huk on June 24th in Stuttgart Advertisement (PDF) of the ELR annual program 2023.
The ELR is the funding program for the structure of cities and municipalities in the rural area Badenwürttemberg. With the announcement of the annual programs, the provisions of the administrative regulation are specified and the funding is adapted to current requirements. "All adjustments in the ELR aim at a future worth living. Structural development creates perspectives for a modern life in our rural areas and at the same time has an eye on the achievement of our climate goals," emphasized Minister Hauk.
climate protection is becoming increasingly important
The primary goal of the ELR is the structural development, which is increasingly under the aspect of the Climate change to be seen. "Climate protection is undoubtedly a cross-sectional task today. A modern structural policy must include the aspects of sustainability and resource efficiency. Many ELR funding measures therefore help to reduce emissions," said Minister Hauk. A functioning basic supply and short distances are important aspects.
"But the way we build and use our buildings is just as important. For a few years now, we have been awarding a funding bonus of five percentage points when using CO - building materials. The bonus is often awarded for timber construction projects. The supporting structure of a CO consists
The minister is emphasized in this context for these alternative building materials. Unlike, for example, steel or concrete, the building material wood does not have to be produced with a lot of energy. "Wherever we can use wood instead of concrete, we should do that," said Hauk.
The continued use of buildings saves emissions
This aspect usually does not apply to conversion or modernization. If the existing building fabric is further used, structural investments can therefore be eligible to building materials even without specifications. Because these measures also contribute to the achievement of the climate goals by using existing building fabric and thus reducing space consumption. "Compared to classic new buildings, the continued use of buildings or parts of the building is always associated with lower emissions," explained the minister.
In addition to the goals "Interior development and creation of living space", the focus of the ELR was on basic care in the last program years. Dorfläts, grocery stores, gastronomic offers and some smaller or larger service facilities - all of these contributions to basic services are important in order to be well looked after in rural areas. If investment measures contribute to improving basic care, these will continue to be promoted primarily in the ELR. "Citizens should find everything they need in everyday life in their city. This is not only sustainable, but above all a profit for the quality of life in the village. Not only buy rolls from the baker in the morning, but also have a nice conversation, that is simply good for it and contributes to satisfaction and solidarity," concludes the minister.
