Project launch in Merzig
Strategic climate adaptation
The bifa Environmental Institute is supporting the district town of Merzig in developing an integrated concept for sustainable climate adaptation and natural climate protection.
The aim of the collaboration is to systematically prepare the district town for the consequences of climate change – from increasing heat stress and periods of drought to heavy rainfall. Due to its location on the Saar River, Merzig has already been affected by flooding in the past.
Climate adaptation measures for the district town
To begin with, we analyse existing data and plans, carry out a thorough climate risk analysis, and prioritise relevant areas of action. Based on this, we develop an implementation-oriented overall strategy with clearly defined adaptation goals, a temporal roadmap, and a spatial allocation of tailored measures. A particular focus is placed on nature-based solutions that strengthen climate adaptation, biodiversity, and quality of life in equal measure.
With over 15 years of experience in municipal climate adaptation consulting, bifa combines scientific expertise with practical implementation, and participatory process design.
Is your city or district prepared to adopt a strategic and funding-compliant approach to climate adaptation? We support you from the analysis all the way to implementation.
