Model region KBKB - Climate Alliance Kiel Bay to a climate adaptation model region | Umweltbundesamt

Information services such as the brochure "Schietwetter - Na und?" Are used to point out climate risks at events together with municipalities and experts from science and industry. At the Kieler Woche, the KBKB presented a six-square-meter model of the Baltic Sea coast in the context of climate change, which playfully draws attention to climate impacts such as coastal erosion and shows possibilities for adaptation in coastal protection, tourism and the energy sector.
In 2014 and 2015, the KBKB, together with the partner communities Laboe and Eckernförde, organized the "KLIMALE küste klima kunst", an informative and entertaining beach festival on climate change. A climatic and coastal adventure trail connecting all communities from Laboe to Schoenberg is also dedicated to the effects of climate change.

The KBKB supports the state capital Kiel with technical expertise, workshops, student theses and internships in the development of an adaptation strategy. Within the scope of this process, the KBKB has produced the brochure "Schietwetter - Na und?", which points out opportunities for private risk management in Kiel.
In the light of climate change, the issues of coastal protection and beach management are of particular importance to most coastal communities in the Baltic Sea: (Where) are flood-prone areas? How can the erosion of the touristically important sandy beaches be stopped? What should be done when removing Treibsel from the spa beaches? And what options are there for using this biological resource? These and other questions have been discussed intensively since 2010 with the partners in the KBKB at several symposia and workshops.
Workshops such as "Saddling Up for the Bicycle-Friendly Travel Region" bring together representatives from many communities, tourism organizations and businesses to discuss the needs and opportunities for climate-conscious tourism.
