NATIONAL CONTEXT
Existing similar initiatives
Since the initial report in January 2012 not much has changed in Austria: there are still several similar climate protection initiatives for municipalities and cities. Climate Alliance Austria (943 participating municipalities in June 2013) and the “e5”-programme (the Austrian programme of the European Energy Award - 138 participating municipalities in June 2013) are still the most popular climate protection initiatives at national level. The number of Climate and Energy Model Regions (“Climate and Energy pilot regions” in the initial report) in Austria has increased to 106 regions (June 2013, now representing a population of 2.5 mio. people and covering more than 1.100 municipalities),, and for 2013 there is another call for motivating further municipalities to create new Climate and Energy Model Regions.
For further information, see: http://www.klimaundenergiemodellregionen.at. klima:aktiv, the Climate Protection initiative of the Ministry for the Environment in Austria has also improved its service for municipalities: http://www.klimaaktiv.at/gemeinden.html.
Generally speaking the situation for promoting the Covenant of Mayors and motivating municipalities to join the CoM has not become easier during the project in Austria.
National political situation
The national Climate strategy is coordinated by the ministry of the environment. With its programme “klima:aktiv”, launched in 2004, the ministry of the environment tries to achieve the Climate protection goals. Moreover the “Klima- and Energiefonds” has been created in 2007 and by the end of 2012 more than 57.000 climate protection projects have been funded out of this fund with a total budget of 740 mio. Euro. In 2011 the Austrian government enacted the Austrian Climate Protection Act in order to regulate the CO2-reduction duties between the national and the provincial level. Moreover in April 2013 the Austrian government enacted the National Climate Change Adaption Strategy. Despite all these efforts the CO2-emissions in Austria have still been increasing in the last years and Austria has failed to achieve the Kyoto-target.
Number of signatories (13.6.2013): 16
Bleiburg, Bregenz, Gabersdorf, Gleisdorf, Judenburg, Klagenfurt, Lassee, Laxenburg, Ottenschlag, Saalfelden, Schwaz, Vienna Wolfurt and Munderfing on the „hold" Ottenschlag, Grafenschlag and Kirchschlag under (Waldviertler Kernland) group of municipalities – other municipalities of Waldviertler Kernland hopefully will join in the next months
Despite of the difficult situation in Austria we are very happy that Vienna (1.7 Mio. inhabitants) joined the Covenant of Mayors in October 2012, after strong lobbying activities together with Climate Alliance.

THE COVENANT OF MAYORS IN AUSTRIA
The national Covenant Club’s strategy
The Austrian national Club’s strategy was explained quite elaborately in the initial report, so I would like to focus on the adaptations, changes and difficulties of implementing the strategy. The main target of the Club was and is to provide a platform for the exchange of experience among the Covenant signatories. The networking platform meetings proved to be a good method to gather representatives of CoM-signatories for the exchange of experience and for supporting CoM-signatories in their duties to elaborate their SEAPs and BEIs: all six networking platform meetings were well visited, although Austria has just 16 signatories at the moment. We also tried to implement the challenging task of linking all the relevant initiatives in Austria with the CoM – with varying success: what worked out very well was to combine the networking platform meetings with other events like the meeting of the managers of the Climate and Energy Model Regions or the annual conferences of Climate Alliance Austria, where we could inform lots of mayors about the Covenant of Mayors initiative in addition to the networking platform meeting.
In order to provide a professional CoM-service for all cities and municipalities in Austria and to fulfil the duties as a CoM-Supporting structure Climate Alliance Austria recruited Georg Priesner as the national expert for the Covenant of Mayors in Austria in January 2012. He has visited so far four Climate Protection Coordinators of the Austrian provinces so far (Styria, Vienna, the Tyrol, Vorarlberg) in order to present and promote the CoM in the provinces and to link the CoM with regional initiatives. The goal would be to convince the regional governments to support the CoM financially and with capacity building activities in their provinces and finally to become Covenant Coordinators. Moreover we organised two internal CoM-capacity building workshops for the 9 general managers of the regional offices of Climate Alliance Austria in order to inform them on the latest news and about the CoM and to instruct them about the best arguments for joining the CoM.
One more target of the Club was and still is to attract new cities and municipalities to join the CoM, which has proved to be a very difficult task. However we are confident to be able to welcome some new signatories from Austria this year as we have heard about some interested mayors in some municipalities during our last events where we promoted the CoM.
Finally I have to point out that it is quite difficult to build a Club with 16 signatories in a country, that’s why we still focus on promoting the CoM in order to gain new signatories.

Particularities
What we are working on at the moment is the adaptation of the CO2-assessment (Baseline Emission inventory) tool for Austrian municipalities: the adaptation will make it possible to transfer the results of the BEI automatically into the SEAP-template which will be a big easement for municipalities in elaboration their SEAPs. The idea for this resulted from discussion during one of the networking platform meetings. Moreover Climate Alliance Austria is currently elaborating a guidebook for data acquisition (where do I get the necessary data for my SEAP?).

THE COVENANT OF MAYORS IN AUSTRIA: EVALUATION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRES AND EXPERIENCES GAINED IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE COVENANT CLUB
Perception of the Covenant by politicians / by civil servants
Most mayors and civil servants have at least heard about the Covenant of Mayors in Austria. However, many mayors, political representatives and civil servants in Austria do not really see an added value for them to join the Covenant, as most of them are already members of Climate Alliance or the European energy award. However, those who joined the CoM even so they are already members of other initiatives, are proud of having joined the CoM and being part of it. Judenburg for example has been member of Climate Alliance since 1992 and member of the European energy award since 2006, and joined the CoM in 2011. And they used this new commitment for renewing the topic of climate protection on their political agenda. Unfortunately just a few other municipalities in Austria are thinking the same way and many are quite sceptical concerning initiatives coming from the EU. Another aspect is that many mayors, political representatives and civil servants just see the work behind joining the CoM (BEI and SEAP), and not the advantages. Moreover some are afraid of not being able to achieve the goal of the 20%-reduction of CO2-emissions. And they do not really know what will happen to them if they do not achieve their formulated reduction goals.
Barriers and drivers for cities to join the Covenant
On the whole the situation has not changed a lot since the initial report: many mayors, political representatives and civil servants in Austria do not really see an added value for them to join the Covenant, as most of them are already members of Climate Alliance or the European energy award. What could be improved with the help of the Covenant Club and networking platform meeting is the experience exchange among signatories, which has taken the fear of elaborating the SEAP and not knowing how to get data for the BEI. And what has also been positively mentioned in the questionnaires is that Climate Alliance Austria has installed a permanent contact person for the Covenant of Mayors in Austria. Another topic which was claimed in the meetings was to get help for the elaboration of the SEAPs, where Climate Alliance reacted and improved (is improving) its BEI-tool to make it a “SEAP-tool”. What can be mentioned in a positive way is that Climate Alliance has promoted the CoM at many national and regional events and at various meetings. So the CoM- initiative in general has become more popular in Austria. One more driver to mention, at least for some municipalities and cities, is the European perspective of the CoM-initiative and the chance of getting access to new funds for energy investments in the future.
General Recommendations concerning Covenant implementation in the country
What should be recommended to the national level, local level, European level to favour the Covenant implementation in your respective country?
Set national/regional targets for the CoM implementation.
30 new signatories within the project until the end of 2013, equally shared among the provinces

Identify main missions and actions that are necessary to implement in the national/regional context and relevant responsible actors.
One main mission is to convince the responsible persons in the Austrian provinces of the importance of the CoM. One big problem is that some provinces like Salzburg for example have started their own climate protection programmes (Salzburg 2050 municipalities). It will stay important to find synergies among the existing similar initiatives.
Recommendations from Climate Alliance Austria:
It would be a big help if the European Energy Award would be better coordinated with the CoM. At the moment there are no synergies between these two initiatives. Even in Austria the municipalities are funded by the provinces for joining the e5-programme, but they do not get funds for joining the CoM for elaborating their BEIs or SEAPs.
Recommendations from Austrian CoM-signatories:
Wolfurt:
Like it has just worked out in Austria, a national contact person for CoM-signatories would be helpful. This contact person should:
be equipped with the necessary expertise and information get in contact with CoM-municipalities regularly support CoM-municipalities be the contact person for all problems and questions
Better communication with/from the CoMO: “The ideal case would be that all E-Mails would come from this contact person.
Due to the missing communication from the CoMO the elaboration auf the SEAP was postponed further and further. The fact that the CoMO contacted the municipality for the first time only after three years, and that this message was that the member status of Wolfurt was set onto „Signatory on hold – deadline over“, is not a good sign for a high-quality communication policy of the ComO.”
Laxenburg: More information in German
Recommendations from Austrian non-signatories:
Mäder: The Covenant of Mayors would need a monitoring system which is adapted to the needs of small municipalities. The existing monitoring is designed for cities with more than 50.000 inhabitants. For Austria it would also make sense to use elaborated monitoring tools like the “Klimacheck” or the “European energy award”.
Schwaz: More direct contact and coaching, less standardises E-Mails; more exchange in knowledge and experience without much traveling involved, more promising presentation of good examples and ideas;
Weiz: More reports about the CoM in general and about the efforts of being part of CoM, introduction during meetings of the city and municipality union, report about results of cities which are already members.

FEEDBACK FROM COVENANT ACTORS
By the end of June, 2013, only two organisations have been supporting structures in Austria: Alliance in the Alps and Climate Alliance Austria. Alliance in the Alps has filled out the template in the first feedback from the ground report and Climate Alliance Austria is the author of this report.
Covenant Signatory WOLFURT The municipality of Wolfurt is situated in the in the eastern edge of the Alps-Rhine-Valley in a very thriving region in the Austrian province of Vorarlberg. The municipality is adjacent to Bregenz in the north and Dornbirn to the south. Wolfurt is situated next to the Context borders of Germany (8km) and Switzerland (12km). Wolfurt has 8.300 inhabitants; 50 years ago it only had 2.500. This growth took mainly place in the 60s and 70s of the last century due to the central location in a very export-oriented economic area. There are 350 companies with about 4.500 jobs in Wolfurt. Joining Climate Alliance, the European energy award and the CoM Why did the city join the are clear commitments of the municipality to pursue the objectives Covenant? of a sustainable energy and climate policy – a commitment, which is implemented by concrete projects and activities. Joining the CoM has helped to make CO -effects an important Positive aspects of having 2 decision criterion when it comes to the prioritisation and joined the Covenant implementing of activities and projects. In addition, thanks to joining
the CoM, a comprehensive energy strategy has been developed. As one of the first municipalities which had joined the CoM, many Perceived barriers to join the questions were raised at the beginning, but few answers could be Covenant found. Until recently there was no personal contact person. Due to the missing communication from the CoMO the elaboration auf the SEAP was postponed further and further. The fact that the CoMO contacted the municipality for the first time only after three years, and that this message was that the member status of Wolfurt Problems faced as signatory was set onto „Signatory on hold – deadline over“, is not a good sign for a high-quality communication policy of the ComO. For a municipality of the size of Wolfurt the serious elaboration of a CO2-emission inventory (BEI) as well as an energy strategy (SEAP) is not possible without professional support. Like as it has just worked out in Austria, it needs a national contact Recommendations to the person for CoM-signatories.

Covenant Signatory SAALFELDEN With nearly 17,000 inhabitants Saalfelden is the third largest city of Salzburg and the largest city in the district (Pinzgau). Saalfelden is also an important regional centre for industry and trade, education, culture and shopping. Since 1994 Saalfelden is part of the Climate Alliance. In 2007 the community decided to join the European Energy Award. Even before Saalfelden introduced an energy controlling system for communal buildings, organised regularly activities in the European Mobility Week and on the European Solar Day and offered its citizens a Context subsidy for solar panels and the insulation. By joining the European Energy Award, the city government created a department for environmental and energy belongings in the town hall. In 2011, Saalfelden decided to join the Covenant of Mayors to be represented on an even larger European network. Meanwhile, the municipality of Saalfelden could receive the European Energy Award in silver and focuses its energy policy currently working very hard on measures that have an environmentally friendly mobility result. In 2011, Saalfelden decided to join the Covenant of Mayors to be Why did the city join the represented on an even larger European network. The conditions for Covenant? fulfilling the task seemed to be good because Saalfelden already had good experiences in de European Energy Award. The government has been dealing with climate and energy issues since 1994. However, the accession to the Covenant was a very good Positive aspects of opportunity to re-think about the targets of the city and seriously think having joined the about how to achieve it. Heated debate in the municipal council was Covenant necessary to accept the SEAP. In retrospect, however, it was very
positive, since people must visualize the energy situation again and again to make the right decisions. Since the municipality is already a member of the European Energy Award, the involved persons repeatedly questioned whether it is profitable to rejoin another organisation/programme. The biggest Perceived barriers to join difference between the two programmes is probably the fact that there the Covenant is a clear CO2 reduction target in the Covenant of Mayors, which must be reached. The European Energy Award does not have this requirement. The discussion on the CO2 reduction was difficult. The municipality of Saalfelden takes the Convent very seriously and did not want to set a goal without being sure to be able to achieve it. Problems faced as The next difficulty was to obtain the data for the baseline emissions signatory inventory and to obtain it again for the next implementation report in the same quality! If the communities do not get the data and statistics from countries, data collection is a big and labor-intensive task. Recommendations to the national and/or European In Austria, the Convent has not as many signatories as in other level to favour the countries, because the European Energy Award and the Climate Covenant Alliance are widespread and many communities already have very implementation. good support and structure in these programs.

Non-Signatory SCHWAZ Schwaz (population 13.000) is one of Tyrol’s oldest towns, located about 30km east of Innsbruck. The town is amongst the most active towns when it comes to sustainability, being the first town in Tyrol to join the Climate Context Alliance. Schwaz was awarded four out of five „e“ in the e5 program for having reached a degree of realization of 65% of possible actions in energy efficiency. In 2004 the city was also presented with the European Energy Award in Silver. After already having joined the Convent Schwaz decided not to continue Why isn’t the city a the application, partly because creating the SEAP wasn’t considered Covenant signatory efficient enough, but mainly because having already realised so many yet? projects that they hardly felt potential to save another 20% in CO2 emissions.

In reality they found that there wasn’t much additional Drivers (positive exchange in experiences or knowledge beyond what already is being aspects of the CoM) shared in existing networks. SEAPs that were submitted to the convent’s homepage also often proved to be disappointing. To take part in meetings with new towns and cities too much traveling is involved.

Non-Signatory WEIZ Inhabitants: 9.000, Area: 5,07 km² The City of Weiz is located in the eastern part of the Province of Styria, 27 km north-east of the Province capital Graz. It lies at the beginning of a valley enclosed by the mountains of the Fischbach Alps in the north. In the southern part of this valley you can find the typical landscape of the East Styrian Hill countryside. Weiz is the center of the District of Weiz and the surrounding region. Weiz has a dynamic economy. The main players are Siemens, Andritz, Mosdorfer and Pichler Werke. All companies working in the field of electrical engineering (e.g. transform-ers, generators, overhead power supply lines etc.). The construction industry and many medium sized companies are in the service industry. Furthermore there are many shops, supermarkets and authorities such as the local ad-ministration authority for the District of Weiz. In addition to that, Weiz has twelve schools including a grammar school and higher vocational schools for technology, economics and domestic Context science. 3,900 pupils attend these schools; many of them are commuters from the surrounding region. The general motto of Weiz is „Town Full Of Energy”. Weiz is regarded as a very dynamic town, making many new ideas in all fields of urban life possible.
Energy policy: The city of Weiz has created a so called Energy action plan. In 2005 we checked the actual situation and developed this plan with aims to be realized until 2015. One part regards the rehabilitation measures for houses (until 2015 nearly 70% should be redeveloped), regarding the heating nearly 70% should be heated by biomass, electricity should be reduced by saving on the one hand and on the other hand electricity should be replaced by using photovoltaic and biomass systems. Also mobility behaviour should be changed by using e- cars and cars powered by biogas. A big part is dedicated to changing mind sets. Weiz is also known as the city of short distances and therefore we try with different measures to force the citizens to ride bikes or walk. We also try to encourage people to use the public transport. The city of Weiz didn´t attend the convent of Mayors until today because we thought this is an aggregation of bigger cities. Besides Weiz attended Why isn’t the city a the e5 programme and this was a lot of work. We had to check all the Covenant signatory done projects, we had to write them down and we had to realize new yet? projects. Accompanying with the attendance the city was checked by external experts 2007 and 2009, the next check will be latest in spring 2014.
