International workshop of the municipal climate partnerships

As part of an international workshop of the 5th phase of the project "Municipal Climate Partnerships", GERICS scientist Markus Groth was invited as keynote speaker. His talk "Adaptation Requirements to Climate Change at the Municipal Level" first introduced the subject of climate change and later focussed on the work in the GERICS Adaptation toolkit for cities (Stadtbaukasten).

Around 80 participants from municipalities in Germany, the Philippines and Vietnam, the embassies of the participating countries and civil society and state actors from the fields of climate protection and development policy took part in the event.
