Climate protection in the Rhine-Neckar district: New information folder for companies!

Today is August 15, 2025 and there is news from the Economic Development Office of the Rhein-Neckar District: The “Climate Protection Information Folder” has been updated. This folder is valuable support for companies and self-employed people who want to become active in the area of ​​climate protection. At a time when climate protection is more on the agenda than ever, the folder offers a wide range of topics ranging from emissions and mobility to energy efficiency and funding. Rhine-Neckar district reports that it also contains numerous offers and contact persons to support climate protection measures.

A highlight of the folder are the best practice examples from companies that have already successfully implemented measures. Dr. Anja Brandt, the person responsible for the project, emphasizes the importance of continuously updating this information. “We want to ensure that all relevant actors receive the support they need,” she explains.

Free information for everyone

Companies can request the updated information folder free of charge by post or download it online. This is particularly useful for those who want to deal intensively with the topics of climate protection and sustainability. Dr. Anja Brandt is available to answer any questions at any time. She can be reached on 06221 522-2497 or by email at a.brandt@rhein-neckar-kreis.de.

In a broader context, it is clear that climate change also poses international challenges. In distant regions, such as Antarctica, the dramatic nature of these changes becomes particularly clear. In addition to being the coolest area on Earth, the region is almost completely covered by a layer of ice, accounting for 90 percent of the world's ice. Current reports show that global warming is severely affecting the ice masses in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula.

Climate protection worldwide – a common concern

Antarctica itself has no permanent residents, but there are over 60 research stations from 30 different countries. Scientists here are constantly working on the consequences of climate change. Reports about the ozone hole, which was first discovered in 1985, also illustrate how closely climate changes are linked to local temperatures.

By updating its information folder, the Rhein-Neckar district shows how important it is to respond to climate challenges not only locally, but also globally. Personal commitment and the measures taken on site can make a major contribution to turning things around in climate protection internationally.
