Review Climate Academy 2025:
Karlsruhe Energy and Climate Protection Agency (KEK)
The KEK is committed to promoting the expansion of renewable energies and climate protection in Karlsruhe and has a new highlight for you on site: the renovation mobile from Zukunft Altbau. This offers comprehensive, independent and easy-to-understand advice and information on all aspects of energy-efficient building renovation.
Wandelwirken e.V. is involved in activities and artistic projects that promote change for sustainable urban development and connects research with practitioners and citizens.
SIMAMA® – STEH AUF e.V. is an active migrant self-organisation. Through their commitment, they highlight the valuable contributions made by people from the Global South and migrants in Germany and promote their equal participation in all areas of society.
The Office for Environmental Protection and Occupational Safety of the City of Karlsruhe will present the city's heat action plan and climate adaptation strategy at the FEST. They will also present the city map for hot days, the climate campaign and, most likely, the heavy rain risk management plan (with references to brand new hazard maps).
BürgerEnergieKarlsruhe (BEnKA) is a citizen energy cooperative that provides information on green energy sources and photovoltaics, as well as on the topic of citizen energy in Karlsruhe.
OK Lab
OK Lab Karlsruhe is committed to digital transparency and open administrative data. Under the motto ‘Free knowledge with digital tools for everyone!’, the team networks with the city and its citizens, advises and develops projects related to open knowledge. A central concern: promoting the Karlsruhe transparency portal and actively helping to shape it. At DAS FEST, they will show what can be done with data, present previous projects and bring interactive ‘hands-on data’ with them.
Batterie Zurück
As a new partner, Batterie Zurück provides information on the proper disposal of used batteries and rechargeable batteries and raises awareness of environmental issues in this context. Batteries and rechargeable batteries have become an integral part of our everyday lives! But where do you put them when they are empty or broken? To the collection point in the shop or the recycling centre, of course! Find out why this is so important and what our mission ‘There is a way back!’ is all about at the Batterie-Zurück stand. And because protecting the environment can also be fun, there are entertaining games and lots of information on the topic of battery recycling. Battery basketball and fishing games test your skills while teaching you how easy it is to become a recycling hero and what batteries have to do with conserving resource.
Karlsruhe Climate Alliance
The Karlsruhe Climate Alliance is an association of 94 associations, organisations and initiatives committed to climate protection and climate justice. The Climate Academy includes the Protestant Church, GloW, Health for Future, Climate Action, Grandmas for Future and Vegans for Future.

Sustainability - always a topic at DAS FEST
For many years now, DAS FEST Karlsruhe has attached great importance to a holistic sustainability concept which, in addition to waste avoidance and the use of regional suppliers and partners, also focuses on raising awareness among visitors. The call to travel to the FEST in the most climate-friendly way possible has also proved its worth: The popular BGV bicycle car parks around the FEST site will once again be available to visitors to DAS FEST in 2024. And the FEST tickets for the main stage will also be valid as KVV tickets for travelling to and from the festival in 2024.
