Invitation to Dialogue: Structural Change in the Burgenland District


The structural change in the Burgenland district faces enormous challenges: If the transition to a future-proof economy fails, mass unemployment and migration threaten. While China is building hundreds of new coal power plants, here CO₂ emissions are to be drastically reduced – a strategy that is not without controversy. Failure could plunge the region into a long-term downward spiral.



The Mittelstand and Economic Union (MIT) Burgenland district invites you to an open discussion about the structural change in the Burgenland district. The event will take place on Thursday, August 29, 2024, at 7:00 PM at the Hotel-Restaurant "Schöne Aussicht" located at Naumburger Landstraße 1, 06667 Weißenfels.

Guests expected include Dr. Jürgen Ude, State Secretary for Structural Change and Major Industrial Projects, and André Zschuckelt, Head of the Structural Change, Regional Planning & Broadband Expansion Staff Unit of the Burgenland district and Managing Director of SEWIG Burgenland district GmbH.

The event offers the opportunity to discuss the challenges and opportunities of structural change in the region in a relaxed atmosphere. A constructive and stimulating exchange in an informal setting is aimed for.

Date:
Thursday, August 29, 2024, 7:00 PM

Location:
Hotel-Restaurant Schöne Aussicht
Naumburger Landstraße 1
06667 Weißenfels

All interested parties are warmly invited to participate in the discussion.

What Does Structural Change Mean?

Structural change in the Burgenland district, Saxony-Anhalt, is a profound transformation that presents significant challenges to the region. The transition from a traditionally industrial economy to new, future-oriented sectors requires not only the expansion of infrastructure but also the qualification of the workforce. The decline of traditional industries could lead to unemployment and migration, endangering social cohesion in the region. At the same time, the change offers opportunities, such as promoting innovation and sustainable growth. Successfully managing these challenges requires close cooperation between politics, business, and civil society.

Structural change in the Burgenland district is politically desired and driven primarily by the goal of reducing CO₂ emissions and promoting climate protection. This transformation toward a more sustainable economy is based on the assumption that a drastic reduction of greenhouse gases is necessary to curb climate change. However, this approach is not without controversy. Critics point out that countries like China continue to build hundreds of new coal power plants, which relativizes global efforts. Additionally, satellite data shows that the Earth has become greener in recent decades, raising the question of whether the current focus on CO₂ reduction alone is sufficient or whether other factors should also be given more consideration.


If structural change in the Burgenland district fails similarly to the Ruhr area, the consequences could be severe. Without successful economic realignment, the region faces a sustained loss of jobs, which could lead to rising unemployment and social inequality. The migration of young, qualified specialists would likely accelerate demographic aging even further. At the same time, vacant industrial sites and deserted urban areas could shape the cityscape, intensifying economic decline. Without targeted measures to promote new sectors and support the population in this transition, a downward spiral threatens that will be difficult to break.
