German Government Approves Comprehensive Climate Adaptation Strategy

The plan aims to address increasing weather extremes with enhanced warning systems, urban greening, and sustainable resource management.

The strategy sets measurable goals for mitigating the impacts of climate change, including heatwaves, floods, and droughts, by 2030 and 2050.
A key focus is improving warning systems, including expanding the user base of the NINA app by 30% through awareness campaigns and technical upgrades.
Urban areas will see increased greening efforts to combat extreme heat, with mandatory access to cooling green spaces for cities with over 10,000 residents.
The plan emphasizes sustainable water management, limiting long-term water use to 20% of available resources to prevent shortages.
By 2030, 80% of municipalities required to submit climate adaptation plans must comply, addressing vulnerabilities in infrastructure and local governance.
