The research project LoKlim

Climate change is affecting more and more municipalities and districts in Baden-Württemberg. In particular small and medium-sized municipalities usually lack the necessary capacities to counter the effects of climate change with strategically oriented and at the same time efficient adaptation processes.

In cooperation with partners from the municipalities and districts, the University of Freiburg is developing local strategies for adapting to the consequences of climate change. The German Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) funds the project as part of the German Adaptation Strategy (DAS).
