Climate Action

Latest measurements show that the forests managed by Stadt Dornbirn result in a creditable sink capacity of ~70,000 tonnes of CO₂ over 30 years. Additionally, the foresters here are adapting by planting new tree species which are more resilient to the changing conditions.

SDG 15

Life on Land

By keeping most of the surface area of the municipality of Dornbirn covered in trees, this ensures the health of the forests for many generations to come, while protecting the city from urban sprawl.
