Green Meeting and Travel

Klimatag as a Green Meeting

This year, we're once again doing our best to organise the Klimatag as a Green Meeting and make it as sustainable as possible. Please support us by choosing climate-friendly modes of transport for your journey, such as train, bus, or carpooling. The venue is right on the U2 underground line and is quick and easy to reach by public transport from anywhere in Vienna.

The event has been certified by the Centre for Global Change & Sustainability and meets the criteria of the Austrian Ecolabel UZ62 for "Green Meetings and Green Events".
