Priority 4 – Climate change adaption, risk prevention and disaster resilience

In the past, flood events have caused considerable damage in Thuringia. As an effect of climate change, a further accumulation of extreme events is to be expected. These consequences need to be countered by measures to improve flood protection and hazard protection, measures to restore and connect near-natural watercourses, and measures for the renaturation and connection of habitats in the vicinity of watercourses. Moreover, structures for communal flood hazard prevention need to be established.
