Climate protection in the Rhein-Neckar district: 25. Network meeting inspires participants!

Rhein-Neckar-Kreis, Deutschland - Yesterday the 25th network meeting of the climate protection officers took place in the Rhein-Neckar district. Organized by the climate protection office in the Rhein-Neckar district district office, was the motto of the workshop "Climate protection in turbulent times-how do I strengthen my position as a climate protection officer?". Around 30 participants were able to exchange ideas about their visibility in the administration and externally. It was a lively exchange that served to develop practical strategies for the recovery of backing and expanding the scope for action.

In the interactive format of the meeting, the dialogue was encouraged, which gave the participants the opportunity to exchange thoughts and ideas. Bernadette Knaus, the climate protection manager of the municipality of St. Leon-Rot, emphasized the importance of such network meetings for the exchange of knowledge and access to new information. Sebastian Wagner, climate protection manager of the municipality of Hirschberg, also emphasized the technical exchange as indispensable for joint climate protection work.
