Experience climate change up close: events in Augsburg in July!

Augsburg, Deutschland - in Augsburg there is really something going on in July! Under the motto "Climate change and city green", several events start that invite all interested citizens to actively deal with the challenges of climate change. As reports augsburg.de, these events are not just about a look into the future, but also about specific measures that should bring Augsburg on the way to the climate-like city.

Let's start on July 4 with a varied walk organized by the Augsburg environmental station. The tour starts near the cathedral from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and leads through the city center to the lower old town. Here the topics of urban climate and possible adaptation measures such as greening facade and climate silver -silined city trees are on the agenda. Registrations are required through the Volkshochschule Augsburg (course number YF11679).

bike tour and summer days in the district

For bike enthusiasts there will be an exciting bike tour on July 5 from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., which starts at the water playground in the Sheridan Park. This tour along the Wertach leads the participants directly to the Rathausplatz and illuminates the effects of climate change on water as well as opportunities for drinking water supply and heavy rain prevention. Your own bike is also required here, whereby people under the age of 18 should definitely have a supervisor. Here, too, registration via the Volkshochschule is required (course number YF11680).

But that's not all! From July 5th to August 2, the summer road invites you to the climate silver silver military in Mittelstraße in Oberhausen. Here you can look forward to relaxation, encounters, games and sport. On July 5, the whole thing starts with a neighborhood festival from 3 p.m. Workshops and live music round off the offer, everything organized by the district management on the right of the Wertach.

Health and climate silence measures

On July 10, everything revolves around the topic of "climate change and health". From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Prof. Elke Hertig from the University of Augsburg in the environmental education center will inform about the health effects of climate change and important heat protection measures for buildings. A curatorial conversation as part of the exhibition "Hitzotruf Augsburg" starts at 5 p.m., and no registration is necessary for this.

But what is behind Augsburg's efforts to create climate -friendly infrastructures? An important step is the SMSA project that the city has launched with an investment of around 9.5 million euros. As explained machmit.augsburg.de, the project consists of four sub-projects that serve to combat the consequences of climate change. This includes smart casting management, the redesign of green areas, tree plantings in the city center and the creation of climate oases.

The goals are clear: Augsburg wants to achieve a better CO2 record, improve the local climate, strengthen the water balance and create new recreation zones. It is also planned to optimize health care for the citizens and to reduce the consumption of water and fuel when watering the city grass. The whole thing is supported by the Smart City office, which has been active since the beginning of 2022.
