Klimawandel und Raumplanung

Abstract

Climate change and spatial planning are connected in two ways. On the one hand, spatial planning can contribute to mitigating climate change, i.e. to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, spatial planning also plays an important role in the adaptation to climate change impacts. This article examines by the example of Germany the potential role regional and land-use planning can play in climate change mitigation and adaptation.
