Eisenach is progressing: climate protection and mobility in focus

In the Wartburgstadt Eisenach, work is actively worked for an environmentally friendly future. The city pursues various initiatives to counter the challenges of climate change and to improve the quality of life of the residents. Mayor Christoph Ihling confirms: "The thermal planning is a crucial step to make our city more energy -efficient and sustainable."

climate adaptation measures for the citizens

A central element of urban strategies is the measures to adapt to climate change. The focus is particularly on flood protection, since extreme weather conditions like heavy rain increase. A lecture by the Volkshochschule Wartburgkreis during the "Week of Climate Adaptation" from September 16 to 2024 will deal with how private homeowners can protect themselves against flooding.

The city climate protection manager will inform you together with the fire brigade specialist service about the previous efforts to prevent heavy rain events. A heavy rain hazard card is presented that evaluates the risk in different urban areas so that the population is informed and prepared.

Invitation to the information event on heat planning

The city of Eisenach is working on the municipal thermal planning, which is created on a legal basis and is intended to ensure sustainable heat supply. An information event for this will take place on August 20, 2024 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the council hall, where the first results of the analysis are presented. Online participation is also offered, so that all interested parties can find out comprehensive information and actively participate in the exchange.

promotion of environmentally friendly mobility

Another important project is city cycling that begins on September 3, 2024. Citizens are invited to use their bike for 21 days to promote climate protection, health and quality of life. The aim of the campaign is to cover as many kilometers as possible by bike.

The starting shot takes place at Eisenacher Marktplatz in front of the town hall at 5 p.m., and everyone who lives in Eisenach or are active there can take part. New this year is the possibility of registering for school cycling, which is a valuable addition to promoting the mobility of students.

meaning for the future of the city

Eisenach shows a strong commitment to climate protection and adaptation to climatic changes. The participation of the population in these projects is crucial to shape a livable and sustainable city together. The upcoming events offer opportunities to find out, actively participate and thus make an important contribution to the future of the city.
