What are the effects of climate change on Berlin, the health of its people, public infrastructure and urban nature? We have a look at Berlins’ toolbox to improve resilience and adaptation?

How is data collected to describe an urban heat island? How can we use rainwater to create climate-resilient urban spaces? How can nature-based solutions contribute to climate adaptation of cities?
