Field of Action Building Industry
Climate-adapted building will become increasingly important in the future. In addition to technical measures to protect buildings against flooding and heat, urban planning plays a particularly important role. The promotion of urban green spaces and the sustainable use of rainwater are important measures for adaptation. read more
Field of Action Fishery
A sustainable orientation of fisheries as well as adaptation measures can address fish health, reproduction of fish species, habitat shifts, water status, fisheries infrastructure, fishing conditions and catches, fisheries management, relocation of fishing areas and relocation of aquaculture operations. read more
Field of Action Water Resources, Water Management, Coastal and Marine Protection
In order to counter the manifold effects of climate change on the water balance, the efficiency of water use as well as flood and coastal protection must be adapted. In addition, an awareness of risks should be created and information provided to prevent damage to property and personal injury. read more
Field of Action Biological Diversity
Climate change is changing the habitats of animals and plants, in some cases profoundly, and is thus also directly and indirectly threatening biodiversity. The loss of biodiversity can be counteracted with various adaptation measures. read more
Field of Action Transport
Transport systems and the associated infrastructure are classified as critical infrastructure and are of great importance for the functionality of society. For their protection and preservation, technical adaptation measures to climate change are considered particularly relevant in order to prevent damage. This also requires the overarching adaptation of planning and building standards. read more
Field of Action Soils
Soils, with all their functions necessary for life, are an important non-renewable resource and, as a CO2 store ("carbon sink"), an indispensable component for climate protection efforts. Adaptation measures must be geared towards protecting soils from erosion, humus loss and other climate change-related risks. read more
