Launched successfully: Climate Alert App

In the small German town of Herzogenrath, an innovative app called Climate Coin has been making waves since its launch in August 2021. Initiated by the municipality, the app has seen over 180 people sign up, and over 2,100 Climate Coins have been collected.

The Climate Coin app rewards eco-friendly behaviour, with collected coins equivalent to a CO2 savings of more than eight tons. Small rewards offered include access to local facilities like swimming pools and cultural offerings.

The method by which eco-friendly behaviour is tracked and rewarded with Climate Coins remains undisclosed, and the details of how CO2 savings are calculated are not provided. However, the app's success in Herzogenrath suggests that it is effective in encouraging sustainable practices.

It is not clear whether the Climate Coin app is available outside of Herzogenrath. The rewards offered beyond small rewards at local facilities and cultural offerings are not specified.

Despite the lack of clarity, the use of the Climate Coin app in Herzogenrath has resulted in significant CO2 savings, indicating a positive impact on reducing emissions in the town. The app continues to be used, and the community's commitment to sustainability remains strong.
