Climate adaptation concept
The consequences of climate change are being felt more and more clearly. Droughts, hot summers and heavy rainfall are on the increase. Climate change has also arrived in Wiesbaden. The city is one of the driest and warmest regions in Germany. Summers are characterized by long, dry heat waves.
Climate change poses major challenges for cities and municipalities in the form of heat waves, heavy rainfall, and periods of drought. How can the consequences of climate change be mitigated? And how can resilience to its effects be strengthened? The integrated climate adaptation concept, which is currently being developed under the leadership of the Environment Agency and in cooperation with municipal authorities and other experts, provides answers to these questions and identifies possible adaptation measures for the state capital.
It defines goals and areas of action and develops appropriate measures for adapting to climate change. The aim is to make Wiesbaden more resilient to its effects in the future.
The first public information event took place in October 2024 to kick off the development process. On December 4, 2025, the Environmental Agency invited all interested citizens to the second information event on the integrated climate adaptation concept at the Kulturforum.
After a welcome and introduction by Mayor Christiane Hinninger, representatives of the Environmental Agency and the commissioned planning office gave an overview of the current status of the climate adaptation concept for the city of Wiesbaden and the next steps in the further process. Afterwards, questions could be asked in the plenary session. In addition, visitors had the opportunity to obtain comprehensive information after the presentations and to talk directly with the experts.
The information evening and the development of the climate adaptation concept for the state capital of Wiesbaden are funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMUKN).
