As temperatures rise, German cities are actively developing strategies to combat heat waves. Berlin, although lacking a formal heat action plan, has set up shelters to protect the homeless and vulnerable groups, funded by local and European institutions.
The city plans to introduce a comprehensive heat strategy by autumn, despite criticism over delays. Meanwhile, cities like Dresden, Leipzig, and Chemnitz in Saxony have already implemented or are finalizing their heat action plans.
These initiatives include measures such as heat warnings, refreshment maps, and public cooling spots. Similarly, Thuringian cities like Erfurt, Jena, and Gera are enhancing their heat preparedness with initiatives like heat hotlines and designated cool areas.
These efforts reflect a growing recognition of the need to safeguard public health and infrastructure against the increasing threat of extreme heat.
