National climate protection initiative

Funded climate protection projects

Federal funding: National climate protection initiative


With the National Climate Protection Initiative Since 2008, the federal government has initiated and supported numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Its programs and projects cover a wide range of climate protection activities: from the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment support measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Protection Initiative helps to anchor climate protection locally. Consumers benefit from this, as do companies, municipalities and educational institutions.

CURRENT CLIMATE PROTECTION PROJECTS

The following projects are supported in the Konz municipality:

  • Replacement of the well pumps in the Wasserliesch well, Albachtal
