climate change

It is time to prepare cities for the consequences of climate change, focusing on the most effective measures. A new study by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation reveals how cities all around the world are tackling the challenge.

This is particularly noticeable in the cities, where more and more often, the heat is becoming intolerable in summer.
