The idea is simple and effective: Citizens earn “Climate Coins” in a fun way by taking climate-friendly actions and can exchange them for attractive services and products.

The city of Salzgitter is participating in this project and is supported by the Greater Braunschweig Regional Association.

What is the “Klima-Taler”?

The “Klima-Taler” is a simple and effective way to motivate all participants to reduce their CO2 emissions through their own behavior and to make those reductions visible.

The “Klima-Taler” is an app that allows all participants to collect “Klima-Taler.” Anyone who travels on foot, by bike, or by public transportation receives “Klima-Taler,” which can be redeemed for rewards at all participating businesses or institutions in all participating municipalities.

In addition, Klima-Taler are awarded for low electricity or water consumption. Participants can view their own consumption and CO2 savings.

Important: Those who download the free app do not need to provide any personal information. Travel distances and all other climate-related information are collected anonymously and evaluated solely on a quantitative basis.

What makes this special:

Everyone benefits when CO2 is reduced! Participants receive rewards. Participating local merchants and businesses have a new tool for customer retention and acquisition with the Klima-Taler.

Who’s already participating?

In the greater Braunschweig area, participants include the city and district of Gifhorn, as well as Braunlage and Seesen.

Nationwide, more than 50 municipalities belong to the Klimataler network. Cities such as Aachen, Darmstadt, and Hamm are already successfully using the Klimataler app. But many smaller municipalities, such as Königstein im Taunus, Leer in East Frisia, and Meiningen in Thuringia, are also already active.

The climate protection team welcomes more participants!
