The adaptation strategy provides the framework for the adaptation activities of the state of Baden-Württemberg and serves as a basis for implementation, especially for administration, municipalities and the economy. Due to changing climatic conditions, the state government of Baden-Württemberg committed to update its adaptation strategy in 2023. This compact information highlights the measures from the state strategy in which municipalities have an important role to play. It is intended to help them define and implement, or work towards implementing, the measures necessary for their local conditions and risks. It provides a compact overview for municipalities on their way to adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Ecologic Institute provided editorial and graphical support for the update of the adaptation strategy in Baden-Württemberg and provided support for the drafting of several chapters, e.g. on climate change impacts, summarized sectoral adaptation challenges. Furthermore, it developed an abridged version of the update of the adaptation strategy.
