BMBF-funding priority KLIMZUG
Even with a successful climate protection strategy a short-term reduction of the expected climate change is not possible. There is therefore an urgent demand for society, economy and politics to develop new and improved methods for climate change adaptation. In the future, this will be one of most important tasks dealing with climate change.
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is furthering the development of innovative approaches to climate change adaptation with a funding activity "KLIMZUG". It particularly stresses the regional aspect of climate adaptation. The implementation of climate adaptation is to be achieved through regional networks between science, companies, administration and public agencies. KLIMZUG wants to pool the strengths of the stakeholders by these cooperative networks and to integrate anticipated changes in processes of regional planning and development. This is to contribute to a timely climate adaptation of long-term sustainability and to strengthening the German economy.

BMBF-Förderschwerpunkt KLIMZUG
Auch durch einen erfolgreichen Klimaschutz ist eine kurzfristige Minderung der zu erwartenden Klimaänderungen nicht möglich. Es besteht daher dringender Bedarf für Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik an neuen, verbesserten Wegen zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel. Dies wird eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben in der Zukunft im Umgang mit dem Klimawandel sein.
Das Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) fördert die Entwicklung innovativer Ansätze zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel mit der Fördermaßnahme KLIMZUG. Sie stellt den regionalen Ansatz der Klimaanpassung in den Fokus. Die Umsetzung der Klimaanpassung soll durch die Bildung regionaler Netzwerke zwischen Wissenschaft, Unternehmen, Verwaltung und gesellschaftlichen Bedarfsträgern erreicht werden. KLIMZUG will durch diese Kooperationsnetzwerke die Stärken der Akteure bündeln und eine Integration der zu erwartenden Klimaänderungen in regionale Planungs- und Entwicklungsprozesse erreichen. Hiermit soll zu einer zeitgerechten Klimaanpassung beigetragen werden, die langfristig tragfähig ist und den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland stärkt.

- REGKLAM: Regionales Klimaanpassungsprogramm Modellregion Dresden (website)
REGKLAM Development and Testing of an Integrated Regional Climate Change Adaptation Programme for the Model Region of Dresden aims to contribute to the development and implementation of adaptation strategies in three main areas: the development of an action and implementation programme, the initiation and support of key projects for adaptation by stakeholders and the improvement of the regional network.
- KLIMZUG-Nordhessen: Klimaanpassungsnetzwerk für die Modellregion Nordhessen (website)
KLIMZUG-Northern Hesse Transdisciplinary Network for Climate Adaptation in the Model Region of Northern Hesse seeks to develop, implement and test structures, institutions and procedures for the adaptation to climate change. The project aims towards a close cooperation between researchers, local enterprises, political decision makers and other social groups and decision makers.
- KLIMZUG-Nord: Strategische Anpassungsansätze zum Klimawandel in der Metropolregion Hamburg (website)
Within the project KLIMZUG-NORD Strategic Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region regional partners from the research, economic and administrative sectors work together on a climate adaptation master plan that continues until 2050. Main focal points are environmental protection. public regulations and economic models.
- INKA BB: Innovationsnetzwerk zur Anpassung an der Klimawandel in der Region Brandenburg Berlin. (website)
INKA BB Innovations Network for Climate Change Adaptation in the Brandenburg-Berlin Region aims to improve regional knowledge and comminucation in the context of climate change in the Brandenburg-Berlin Region. The main working fields are land use- and water management, health- and water issues, as well as the identification and implementation of adaptation strategies.
- KLIMZUG Nordwest 2050: Perspektiven für klimaangepasste Innovationsprozesse in der Modellregion Bremen-Oldenburg im Nordwesten (website)
In North West 2050 Prospects for Climate-Adapted Innovation Processes in the Model Region Bremen-Oldenburg in North Western Germany there are two different processes under way for climate adaptation: on the one hand the definition of the vulnerability of major economic sectors like the food and energy industry, port management and logistics, on the other hand the development of a long term road map for climate change adaptation in the region until 2050.
- DynAKlim: Dynamische Anpassung an die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels in der Emscher-Lippe-Region (website)
The networking and research project DynAKlim - Dynamic Adaptation of Regional Planning and Development Processes to the Effects of Climate Change Using the Example of the Emscher-Lippe Region (Ruhr Basin) carries out mulit-disciplinary research on ‘dynamic’ adaption to the effects of climate change. It focusses on the potential impacts on the regional water balance and the possible options to adapt for population, economy and environment. By setting up a sustainable regional network, a web-based knowledge management system and a region-spanning roadmap process “Regional Adaptation”, DynAKlim assists the region to continue to develop itself into a future-based conurbation with a significantly improved ability to innovate and to adapt to climate change.
- RADOST: Regionale Anpassungsstrategien für die deutsche Ostseeküste (website)
RADOST Regional Adaptation Strategies for the German Baltic Sea Coast works on appropriate adaptation measures for the region through a dialogue between science, business, administration and civil society.The aim is to minimize the potential harm to business, society and nature as well as to seize the opportunities that the climate change induces.
