Impacts of climate change

[edit]

Heatwaves

[edit]

The number of days with an unusually high temperature have increased.[3]

Agriculture

Due to climate change, it has become much easier to grow melons, physalis and kiwi.[4]

Municipalities in Baden-Württemberg have set up drinking water fountains and set up helplines in order to adapt to the increased frequency of drought and heatwaves due to climate change.[5]

Summary
climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation
Status: In force (amended)

According to the Council of Experts set up by the state government, Baden-Württemberg would not meet the goals it set.[6] This is partially due to a lack of adoption of electric vehicles.[2] Partially this is due to a lack of subsidy by the federal government, the state government and the municipalities.[7]

The municipalities criticised the goals and the lack of guidelines about achieving the goals, stating that the goals were unachievable.[8]
