Climate Change

Our climate is changing. It is becoming warmer, springs and summers are becoming drier, and winters are becoming wetter. The temperature stripes for the Oberbergischer Kreis over the average annual temperature since 1881 illustrate this impressively.

Extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and heat waves are also occurring more frequently and intensely in the Oberbergischer Kreis.

Climate Protection

Climate protection measures ensure that we preserve our natural resources and limit the effects of global warming.

Climate Change Adaptation

The term climate change adaptation describes measures that help us better cope with the unavoidable consequences of climate change and minimize the impacts on health, biodiversity, or the economy.

In the program Climate-Environment-Nature-Oberberg (KUNO), the Oberbergischer Kreis summarizes its measures for climate protection, climate change adaptation, and the promotion of habitat and biodiversity.

Energy Consultation

Energy consultation for citizens in the Oberberg district.

WärmeEngel

The WärmeEngel is a funded project within the framework of the REGIONALE 2025 Bergisches RheinLand and demonstrates how regional, unused waste heat can be efficiently utilized, transported, and employed as a climate-friendly energy source for public buildings through innovative solutions.

Heavy Rainfall Risk Management

Heavy rainfall hazard maps provide a precise simulation of flood risks, supporting communities, property owners, and emergency services in planning and prevention. They are an important foundation for protecting infrastructure and populations.

Intermunicipal Climate Change Adaptation Concept Oberbergischer Kreis (KWAK)

The intermunicipal climate change adaptation concept of the Oberbergischer Kreis strengthens resilience against climate impacts. With 14 areas of action and municipal short concepts, concrete measures for a sustainable future are developed.

Flood Prevention at Agger and Wupper

The cooperation “Flood Prevention at Agger and Wupper” (ÜVAW) consists of districts, independent cities, and water associations that collaborate in the area of flood prevention. The aim is to think regionally about flood and heavy rain protection and to implement preventive flood protection.

Maps for Climate Change Adaptation

The maps on heat stress, cold air generation, and cold air flow volume provide a planning basis for citizens, businesses, and municipalities to effectively adapt to the impacts of climate change.
