La ville de la protection du climat Programme de Vienne
Vienna was developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century. The KLIP program covers the entire city of Vienna and therefore the historic centre which was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001.
On December 18th, 2009 le conseil municipal de Vienne a adopté la mise à jour du programme de la ville de Vienne de protection du climat (Klip II), qui sera valable jusqu'à ce que 2020. The objective of KliP II is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.4 million tonnes by 2020 by using a package of 385 mesures individuelles. Including the 3.1 million tonnes of emissions already reduced by 2008, the total reduction will amount to 4.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2020.
KliP II measures
Ce programme est la mise à jour de ce qu'on appelle KLiP I, qui a été promulguée en 1999 and consists in a set of measures in the following large fields of action: energy supply, use of energy, mobility and town-structure, and procurement, la gestion des déchets, l'agriculture et la foresterie, conservation de la nature.
The KliP II measures aim to reduce per capita emissions by 21% of the 1990 level by 2020. An analysis of the development of greenhouse gas emissions per capita shows that the emissions in 2009 were already 21% below the 1990 level (KLiP I). The ambitious implementation of the planned measures of KliP II includes the following:
- increase the share of district heating to 50%
- continue the thermal renovation of buildings
- increase the share of public transport, reduce car
- traffic, and promote ecomobility by focusing on public
- transporter, cycling, and pedestrian traffic
- more than double the amount of end-use energy produced from renewable energy sources from 1990
- develop an energy supply security plan.
Climate protection, renewable energies and energy saving measures

Projets réalisés à ce jour comprennent les centrales hydroélectriques, parcs éoliens, centrales thermiques solaires, installations photovoltaïques et une centrale biomasse de bois. and the Spanish Network, la ville de Vienne est de plus en plus se tourner vers de nouveaux projets dans la région, tant à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur des frontières de l'Autriche.
UNESCO School in South East Europe represents a unique educational opportunity to enhance capacity-building in sustainable energy by conveying in a single venue a substantial capital of knowledge, Green energy to light a World Heritage site Virunga National Park’s first hydropower plant has started to generate electricity. Most residents in the area currently rely on dirty and, News Archives. The final result will more than double the amount of final energy produced by renewables compared to 1990.
One of the basic problems of climate protection lies in the fact that mankind consumes more and more energy despite various positive measures (such as better insulation for buildings). Countering this development is one of the greatest challenges of the future. Therefore the City of Vienna has given special importance to energy saving measures. This is why a “Municipal Energy Efficiency Programme (SEP)” has been worked out after 2009. Ménages, trade, the services sector, industrie, public institutions, agriculture, and transport were investigated with a view to the opportunities and potential for energy savings and the framework conditions and measures required for this purpose were defined.
Lessons learned and potential replicability

The climate protection programme of the City of Vienna has not only succeeded in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improve the quality of life, but has also stimulated the economy considerably. Between 1999 et 2010, the implemented measures generated an investment volume of more than 20 milliards, creating an added value of approximately 18.7 milliards. This secured over 58,600 jobs in 2011.
This vision is a driving force for replication of the experience from Vienna to many cities and villages included in the UNESCO sites.
