Adaptation planning

The German Adaptation Strategy for Climate Change (DAS)
Since 2008 the aim of the DAS is to reduce the vulnerability of the German society, the economy and of the environment and to maintain or increase the adaptive capacity. Today, the strategy has become an established component of the Federal Government’s combined activities.The BMU-funding programme “Measures for Adaptation to Climate Change“ was initiated in 2011. Under the current funding directive, local and municipal actors, associations and small to medium-sized enterprises as well as educational institutions are supported in adaptation actions. Besides the existing DAS-funding programme, BMU will support strengthening the resilience of social institutions against already noticeable consequences of climate change such as periodic heat waves with a new funding programme (volume: 150 million euros) from 2020 until 2023. Social services providers include hospitals, nursing homes, schools and daycare centres, maternal health services and care services. The funding programme is part of the Federal Government’s stimulus package and was adopted by the Federal Cabinet on 17 June 2020 as part of the covid-19 fiscal stimulus.
