Effiziente Nutzung lokaler Wasserressourcen zur Kli-mawandelbekämpfung und -anpassung - Mannersdorf wird kli-mafit!

The municipality of Mannersdorf am Leithagebirge is currently developing a comprehensive climate strategy to achieve climate neutrality, increase sustainability and pursue the goal of increasing climate resilience. This is being accelerated by improving the microclimate with the help of blue-green infrastructure in public spaces and shady green spaces and footpaths. The establishment of a new rain management system to mitigate heavy rainfall events and promote unsealing is also a declared goal of the municipality. The renaturalisation of municipal water bodies is recognised as a contribution to flood protection. Finally, the opening/reactivation of the currently piped and underground Mühlbach stream is discussed as a key measure in connection with the aforementioned points. The most important cornerstones of the exploratory project for the demonstration of a climate-neutral neighbourhood are Climate protection by avoiding greenhouse gas emissions through the use of local environmental energy to decarbonise the operation of municipal buildings Climate resilience through the development of additional alternative water sources and more efficient use of existing resources Climate change adaptation through the creation of climate-friendly public open spaces with the help of blue-green infrastructures
