The interactive tour on the topic of climate in the city of Vienna reached around 4,500 students with its workshops.
Vienna (OTS) – Vienna has set itself an important goal: the city should become climate neutral by 2040 and has set out the path there in the climate roadmap. In order to get Viennese people excited regarding the topic at a young age and to motivate them to take part, the Vienna Climate Tour visited a total of 185 school classes this year. On 36 days of operation, the city’s experts held workshops in two elementary schools, four middle schools, eleven federal high schools and two HTL/HTBLAs. With the help of the eight e-cargo bikes and learning methods individually adapted to the school and age group, the students were interactively familiarized with the various subject areas from circular economy and green space to water and energy.
Continuation planned
The positive feedback is prompting the Climate Tour to continue its school visits next year. “We are very impressed by how exciting and varied the visits to the Viennese schools were. The interest shown by students in all classes showed us how important the issue of climate protection is, especially for young people. We want to continue to build on this!” says Climate City Councilor Jürgen Czernohorszky.
This is the Vienna Climate Tour
There is one on the Vienna Climate Tour Fleet of eight e-cargo bikes are on the move throughout the city: The topics of the individual bikes cover a wide variety of areas of life – from nutrition to green space, water and species protection to energy and the circular economy. One focus is the Vienna Climate Roadmap, which sets out the city’s path to climate neutrality.
Each theme wheel is a multifunctional information carrier, in addition to tips and suggestions for climate protection in everyday life, there are things to try out and experiment with. You can also ask questions of city experts and find out regarding the big picture of the climate crisis and the city’s activities. The climate tour is throughout Vienna on the go and comes to public places, parks and events.

It provides low-threshold and playful information regarding the climate crisis and gives people the opportunity to actively contribute to climate protection in their everyday lives. The bikes are looked following by experts from specialist departments in the city, who thus become “climate ambassadors”. The climate tour relies on e-mobility and sustainable materials and is therefore climate-friendly!
