The climate districts are intended to support change in society at local locations . They are intended to create liveable public spaces that are adapted to climate change. Another aim of the climate districts is to reduce the production of CO2 in Bonn. Civil groups such as neighborhood associations, sustainability initiatives, social institutions and faith communities are to be strengthened through networking, support and further training opportunities. To this end, offers such as the already successful training course for citizen solar advisors are being created. After free training, the citizen solar advisors help other citizens to select suitable solar systems for their roofs. You can find more information about the citizen solar advisors here: https://buergersolarberatung.de/bonn/. (opens in a new tab)
The measures in the districts are to be designed as inclusive and participatory processes in which different groups can participate on an equal footing. A variety of formats are offered for this purpose - from street festivals to workshops, urban gardening and regular climate cinema, many things are possible. One key format is the planned "future forums" in all four districts - where randomly selected people from the district will work on issues relating to a liveable and sustainable neighborhood with the support of experts.
Hand in hand it works
A special feature of the climate districts is that they are run by civil society. Coordinated and supported by the city, consortia of associations and initiatives from the neighborhood are formed in all four climate districts. They know the local people and conditions best - a key prerequisite for a successful transformation.

Beuel Mitte climate district
Socio-ecological impulses through culture and civil society
As one of the first two climate districts, the resource-rich and structurally strong Beuel Mitte district is to pioneer the socio-ecologicaltransformation in Bonn and at the same time prepare itself for the increasing number of extreme events. In particular, the diverse cultural and engagement landscape should provide impetus.
The Klimaviertel Beuel Mitte is managed by the Kulturzentrum Brotfabrik Bonn e. V. (opens in a new tab), where the Mitmachzentrum is also located. Other civil society organizations, particularly from the social sector, will complete the consortium.
The individual measures are to be developed in cooperative processes by citizens and representatives from politics and administration, business, science and civil society. In Beuel Mitte, the following measures are conceivable in addition to a large future forum:
Individual advisory services on climate, energy and environmental issues in cooperation with the Bonn Energy Agency and the NRW consumer advice center
Community building measures to strengthen neighbourhood involvement in the climate district, e.g. climate and sustainability workshops in the Brotfabrik on innovative living concepts, climate-adapted gardening, sharing concepts, etc.
Participatory plays and art projects on the topics of climate, sustainability and resilient neighborhoods for young audiences in public spaces
Greening projects in the neighborhood such as the walking tree avenue or urban gardening
Waste collection campaign in the district with subsequent waste artwork
Godesberg Nord and the northern part of Godesberg Zentrum in particular have been undergoing radical change for several years. In addition to the associated challenges, this change offers opportunities for socio-ecological transformation. The focus of the approach in the Godesberg-Nord climate district is therefore on bringing people from different walks of life together, creating encounters and promoting joint commitment to shaping change in the neighborhood. Participation should also be made possible for those who have previously been less able to take part in cultural and social life.
The consortium of the Godesberg-Nord climate district is led by Kultur verbindet e.V. (opens in a new tab). As a participatory center, premises at Bonner Str. 17 are being renovated, furnished and occupied together with the impulse district management that is being created in parallel. In this way, the topic of climate protection and adaptation can be considered together with the social issues of the neighborhood right from the start.
The individual measures are to be developed in cooperative processes between citizens and representatives from politics and administration, business, science and civil society. In Godesberg-Nord, in addition to the Future Forum, which will take place in all neighborhoods, the following measures are conceivable, for example:
Joint design and renovation of the rooms and outdoor area of the new participatory center, also from the point of view of adapting to summer heat
The creation of additional outdoor lounges and meeting areas, possibly with awnings, drinking water dispensers etc., adapted to summer heat stress
Setting up a branch of Leihbar (currently successfully implemented in Bonn's Nordstadt district)
Hosting of food sharing fair dividers as well as Marktschwärmer and SoLaWi distribution stations
Setting up mobile trees (e.g. walking tree avenue concept) in the district
Thematic stage program in the property, e.g. multilingual poetry slam, concerts, etc.
