Klima Buddy is an educational and reference app developed by Ministerium des Inneren fuer Digitalisierung und Kommunen Baden-Wuerttemberg. With the effects of climate change becoming increasingly noticeable, many of us are eager to make a personal contribution to environmental protection. However, often the information available is either too complex or the tips provided are not practical for everyday life.

Klima Buddy addresses this issue by allowing users to determine their personal CO2 footprint in relation to the average German value through a few simple questions. Users are then provided with a plethora of tips and tricks on how to reduce their carbon emissions and live a more climate-friendly lifestyle. The app features a friendly companion, the Klima Buddy, who brings joy to users of all ages. Furthermore, the app rewards users with points for every attempt to lead a more eco-friendly life, which can be used to unlock new features for the Klima Buddy. Regular usage and exploration of new missions are thus encouraged.

In addition to practical tips and tricks for areas such as mobility, nutrition, housing, and lifestyle, the app also offers further information. Users can learn about the consequences of climate change in Baden-Württemberg and discover projects that help offset personal CO2 emissions. For those who desire more detailed information, the app provides a CO2 calculator that takes into account even pets and more. The app also directs users to a special feature for young people. With the Youth Calculator, even supporters of Fridays for Future can assess their daily carbon footprint.
