In 2009 Climate Alliance has invited all European local authorities to present their climate protection activities and apply for a Climate Star for the forth time. In October 2009 the 15 Climate Star laureates were awarded on invitation of the Regional Authority of Lower Austria at a ceremony in Stift Melk, part of the UNESCO world heritage Wachau. 444 cities and municipalities from 11 countries applied at Climate Alliance for the European award and recorded their local climate protection activities.
