Climate Alliance (Klimabündnis)

Think locally - act globally

For over 30 years, the member municipalities of the Climate Alliance have been working for the climate, in partnership with the indigenous peoples of the rainforests. With over 1,850 members in 27 European countries, the Climate Alliance is the world's largest network of municipalities committed to climate action.

The common goal of Alliance members:

Each member town or city undertakes to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions on an ongoing basis, in order to achieve a reduction of at least 95% by 2050 (compared with 1990), in line with the requirements of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

In Luxembourg, a number of communes joined forces with the two NGOs "ASTM - Action Solidarité Tiers Monde" and "Mouvement Ecologique" in 1995 to found the "Klima-Bündnis Lëtzebuerg/Alliance pour le climat Luxembourg".

Today, the Alliance pour le climat Luxembourg has 40 member municipalities (November 2021).

Being locally responsible, conscientiously pursuing existing initiatives, developing new ideas - this is the challenge that the Commune of Roeser has set itself by joining the Climate Alliance. The aim is to achieve this goal together.

The municipality of Roeser has been a member of the Climate Alliance since 1994 (see municipal council resolution of February 18, 1994).

Projects in the community of Roeser

The municipality has a long-standing commitment to climate protection, as illustrated by the photovoltaic panels installed in the community.

Pellet boiler

Various options based on wood as a renewable energy source were analysed as a replacement for the municipal energy centre with ground-based combined heat and power generation that had been in operation at the SPIC swimming pool in Roeser since 1998 and supplied the school and sports centre, the Maison Relais, the municipality, the fire station, the scout building, the church and the police station, including the entire residential building and the municipal workshop, in addition to the swimming pool. It was decided to replace the cogeneration module with a pellet-fired boiler, and to integrate the latter into the existing power plant.
