Sustainability program 2025: St. Ingbert becomes climate!

At the beginning of March 2025, the new brochure "St. Ingbert" brochure was presented at the sustainability fair. According to st-ingbert.de , the brochure includes a total of 24 pages at which 34 events on climate change, environmental education, mobility and climate adjustment are presented. These activities take place over the period from April to November 2025 and are part of a comprehensive commitment to sensitize the population to sustainable topics.

The initiators, including Marika Flierl (VHS manager), Frank Ehrmantraut (employee VHS) and Ingo Sonnenschein (foundation manager for culture and environment of the Kreissparkasse Saarpfalz), thanked the numerous participants for their commitment. Education for sustainable development is a central component of the teaching mandate of the adult education centers. In view of the great response, the climate course from 2024 will also continue in the coming year in order to further strengthen the awareness of climate issues.

Various events to promote environmental awareness

The start of the sustainability program will take place on April 2 with a lecture by Aline Pabst on the "Facts on the Climate Crisis". This event follows over 30 more events, including a mobility week, a study trip to Paris, various lectures, excursions and discussion groups. The program focuses special on climate impact. For example, the city tour conveys "Climate change in the city - what happens and what we can do?" Strategies for coping with the climate change effects.

Practical tips for a more sustainable lifestyle await the participants in the event "Climate -conscious nutrition - possibilities and limits". Also a discussion group entitled "Lust for change, a different attitude to life!" is part of the program. According to biosphaere-bliesgau.eu , the entire program aims to convey knowledge and tools for sustainable action in everyday life and the citizens for common responsibility for the city and invite the Biosphere Bliesgau.

In the context of increasing challenges due to climate change and the associated ecological problems, the importance of environmental education becomes increasingly clear. According to greenkama.org , environmental education sharpens the awareness of environmental issues and is committed to ensuring that people of all ages learn how their decisions can affect nature. Through the offer of workshops, seminars and practical learning approaches, active participation in environmental protection is promoted.

Overall, the St. Ingbert sustainability program represents an important step to sustainably strengthen environmental awareness in the region and to set examples of environmentally conscious action.
