Währing sets the course: New district representatives are fighting against the climate crisis!
In Währing, the course is set for the next term: On June 24, 2025, 40 district councilors were praised at the constituent session. City Councilor Ulli Sima from the SPÖ made the engagement. There were some exciting personnel decisions: Silvia Nossek (Greens) was elected district manager for the third time, while Robert Zöchling (Greens) and Oliver Möllner (ÖVP) will act as their deputies. The chair of the district council goes to Jakob Kastner (Greens).
But what are the big topics that the new team will be dealing with in the coming years? The challenges are diverse and range from the climate crisis to safe way to school to budgetary questions. After all, Währing is financially facing some hurdles. Nevertheless, Ulli Sima is optimistic that important projects can be continued, although her colleague Johannes Mühlbacher suggested savings from the Neos, for example by deleting positions in the district parliament.
a respectful cooperation in the focus
In the forefront, both Marcus Altmann (SPÖ) and Johannes Mühlbacher (Neos) praised the respectful coexistence in the new committee. Möllner expressed the desire for improved collaboration in order to jointly develop constructive solutions. The first meeting of the district council after the forefruction is planned for September 25th.
on the way to climate neutrality
According to the district representatives, a central concern will be: combating the climate crisis inside. In many municipalities, including in Währing, local projects play a key role in climate protection. According to knowledge from Environmental Federal Agency this is necessary, since there is often no agreement between the different climate protection goals of the levels. In addition, there are legal and political framework conditions that the municipalities can hinder the greenhouse gas neutrality in their endeavors.
The challenges are diverse: a redesign of the traffic sector, the complete supply of renewable energies and the optimization of the supply and disposal infrastructures are just a few of the measures that need to be implemented urgently. The goal is clear: a comprehensive transformation in all areas to achieve the climate goals. However, the co-beefits of these measures should not be neglected, such as improving the quality of life and air quality, reducing noise and access to funding by setting climate protection managers: inside.in Währing is already being worked on on various civil projects, which also promote the voluntary commitment of the population and should give the district a greener future.

The next few months will show how well the team will master the upcoming tasks.
