climate change and its consequences
Behind these extreme weather conditions is an even bigger problem: climate change. The [Federal Environment Agency] (https://www.umweltbundamt.de/deutschland-im-klimawandel risks) emphasizes that people have a great influence on nature through their own actions. The risks caused by climate change are significant, so that extreme events such as heat waves and heavy rain are increasing. These changes not only have an impact on the weather, but also endanger ecosystems, the biological diversity and health of people.
In order to meet these challenges, comprehensive adaptation to the climatic changes is necessary. It is important to put the protection of natural resources and ecosystems in the foreground in order to reduce the risks for everyone. Innovative approaches such as the conversion to sponge cities or green roofs are current measures that have to apply to prepare the cities accordingly.
The weather forecasts and the associated warnings are not only a current challenge, but also a wake -up call to take the pressing problems of climate change seriously.
