Climate

In research, there is little doubt that humans are making a decisive contribution to global climate change. The climate is therefore an important and much discussed topic of our time. What does climate change mean for Stuttgart? And what contribution is the city making to climate protection?

Biodiversity and climate are closely linked and influence each other. Many green spaces are therefore important for a good urban climate, such as on Schlossplatz.

Climate change is on the one hand a global issue and on the other hand of high local importance.

The climate of Stuttgart is characterized by its large-scale location in the Neckar basin, shielded by the Black Forest in the west, the Swabian Alb in the south, the Schurwald in the east and the Strom and Heuchelberg area in the northwest. This location has a great influence on all climate elements, such as air temperature, humidity, precipitation and wind.

Climate change is also leaving its mark on us. On the following pages, you will learn about the climate in Stuttgart, the challenges that lie ahead and how we intend to mitigate the consequences of climate change so that Stuttgart remains a place worth living in.
