Climate adaptation as a spiritual and social task<\/h5>

In cooperation with the environmental department of the Catholic Church of Carinthia, PLANUM has taken on a pioneering role in the field of climate adaptation with the \u201cRefugium\u201d<\/em> project. In view of the increasingly hot summers, it will ensure that church rooms and the inner courtyards of church facilities in Klagenfurt are consciously designed as places of relaxation, tranquillity and cooling and are opened to the public. <\/p>

 <\/p>

The parish church of St. Egid in the center of Klagenfurt’s old town was won as a partner for the first implementation project.
The pilot project is being implemented on a small garden plot in the outdoor area of the St. Egid parish center.
Although only a total of 100 m\u00b2 is available, all the main elements in the garden will be realized, a drinking fountain (as a free thirst quencher), a climate tree (to provide shade), seating, a spring stone (to improve the microclimate) and attractive planting with a focus on biodiversity.<\/p>

 <\/p>

The initiative is an invitation to municipalities, cities and church institutions to become active together – for a liveable, people-friendly and climate-resilient future.<\/p>

 <\/p>

The project was presented in Klagenfurt on June 3 as a prelude to the Carinthian Heat Protection Day.<\/p>
