Why climate adaptation is important
The term climate adaptation describes measures that are necessary to maintain a high quality of life despite the consequences of climate change. These include, for example:
- Shading of public spaces to reduce heat stress.
- Storing rainwater to better withstand periods of drought.
Griesheim, in particular, is especially affected by heat location in the Upper Rhine Graben . The sandy soil is poor at retaining rainwater – another reason why local adaptation strategies are urgently needed.
Further information on climate adaptation in the Darmstadt-Dieburg district can be found on the district's official website at www.ladadi.de .
