German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) launched on July 2009 a new funding activity to help regions imagining new ways to adapt to climate change and its consequences on everyday life and economy.



KLIMZUG is presented as an initiative for "the implementation of climate adaptation 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."

KLIMZUG is already getting developped in 7 regional projects in Germany.
