Pirna District Council: Important meetings on climate protection and youth support!

In the coming days there will be a lot on the agenda of the various committees of the district council in Pirna. On November 4, 2025, the Economics, Tourism and Procurement Committee will meet at 5:00 p.m. in the large conference room EF 1.24 at Sonnenstein Castle. The agenda includes important topics such as information about the planning status of Zinnwald Lithium GmbH from Managing Director Uhlig as well as reports on the implementation of the climate protection concept and broadband development. The awarding of the contract for the energy supply service for the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district is also discussed before moving on to a non-public part. But the members of the Senior Citizens' and Disabled People's Advisory Board meet at 3:00 p.m. to discuss, among other things, the work of the independent participation advisory board.

On the following day, November 5th, the members of the Education and Social Affairs Committee will address numerous important concerns. A wide range of topics are covered, from reporting on the state of the Asklepios Clinic to topics such as school social work and the integration of people with disabilities.

Practical steps for climate protection

Climate protection plays a central role on this day of the event. How klimaschutz.de reported, integrated climate protection concepts must pursue concrete goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is important to include all relevant actors in the process. Important components of these concepts include energy balances, potential analyzes and concrete catalogs of measures. Climate protection management has the task of controlling the entire process and taking over the coordination between administration and external partners.

The need for professional support in matters of climate protection is growing, which also applies to the 11,000 German cities, municipalities and districts. These play a crucial role in achieving national climate protection goals. The new practical guide from German Institute for Urban Studies (Difu) is a valuable help. It offers comprehensive know-how to successfully implement municipal measures.

Versatile opportunities for promotion

How landratsamt-pirna.de emphasizes, applying for funding for climate protection management is also important. Funding applications must ensure that climate protection staff are employed directly by the municipality and are not already financed by other budgets. There are also clear requirements for staff, which include a university degree and a minimum pay range.

With the upcoming meetings in the district council and the discussions about climate protection measures, it is clear that the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district is actively working to implement sustainable and future-oriented solutions. The Youth Welfare Committee will also meet on November 6th, with the focus being on youth welfare planning and the promotion of school social work.

Public discussion and transparency are essential components of this work. With the multitude of meetings and reports to come, it will be exciting to see how the plans are put into action and what concrete progress can be achieved in the areas of climate protection and social values.
