Climate knowledge

The South German Climate Office imparts climate knowledge on various levels. This knowledge is based on the expertise of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (particularly the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research) and the experiences of experts from practice.

The focus of the South German Climate Office is on adaptation to climate change. This means: How do we need to adapt to the unavoidable consequences of climate change? For this, climate knowledge is needed, which the South German Climate Office conveys, among other things, in the form of so-called climate indicators.

The following pages provide an insight into the results of a scientific project that primarily dealt with adaptation to climate change in cities and municipalities. In further projects of the South German Climate Office, these climate indicators are further developed and additionally focused on rural areas.
