The Cleveland Climate Resilience and Urban Opportunity Plan includes a detailed assessment of the current and anticipated effects of climate change in the Midwest, along with mapping and analysis of Cleveland’s vulnerabilities, characterized by six social factors. The vulnerability mapping helps identify the parts of the city most likely to be at risk in the event of heat waves, heavy precipitation, or other extreme weather and will enable the city to target resources and programs to reduce risk.

The Mayflower Autonomous Ship (MAS) will begin its journey on 6 September 2020 and cross the Atlantic Ocean, from Plymouth to Plymouth. Like its namesake in 1620, MAS will rely to some extent on favourable weather to complete its crossing as it will be powered by state-of-the-art hybrid propulsion system, utilizing wind, solar, state-of-the-art batteries, and a diesel generator.

In March 2018, the City of Kwinana installed drainage nets at two locations in Henley Reserve as a trial. The nets were installed in an effort to reduce the discharge of rubbish from drainage systems within the City, in particular areas where road drainage is discharged into public open spaces and reserves.
In 4 months both nets have been cleaned three times with a total of 370kg of debris collected by the drainage nets which has been removed and disposed of. The debris consisted of food wrappings, drink bottles, sand and tree leaves.

The Wolfhager City Council unanimously decided in April 2008 to fully cover the power supply by 2015 from renewable sources. This goal was achieved with the commissioning of the wind farm Rödeser, 2014.
Another important milestone on the road to climate neutrality in the power supply was laid by the Wolfhager public utilities already beginning of 2006. The Stadtwerke Wolfhagen, which previously operated already power the core city and the district Bründersen bought electricity networks back in 11 districts from Eon Group back.

Austria’s first ever fully electro-powered waste collection vehicle is designed to use 100 percent battery power both for its drive engine and for the waste collection and compacting unit. As a result, the vehicle produces zero emissions and significantly reduces noise levels during routine operation. This is the first ever vehicle of this kind ever built in Austria.

The system developed by the TU Graz and the municipal department 33 (Public Lighting) differs significantly from a simple motion sensor. While such a system would switch to green even when any other object would pass it, the traffic light camera detects not only people but also whether there is a desire to cross or not. In addition to traffic lights with pedestrian recognition, there are also efforts in the City of Vienna to make the traffic light system as a whole smarter and more flexible. This is to be achieved by interconnecting all traffic lights.

Aquaponics is in a sustainable closed cycle the cultivation of fish in aquaculture is combined with the cultivation of vegetables in hydroponic culture.

Austria’s first commercial aquaponics system has many environmental benefits.
Ensures resource-saving production: aquaponics combines fish farming and vegetable production in an eco-effective cycle.

The increasingly hot summer days are a great burden for the inhabitants of the city. Especially children, sick and elderly people suffer from high summer temperatures. In order to provide sustainable relief, Zieglergasse will be redesigned as a so-called “cool mile” – Vienna’s first climate-adapted street.
