Göttingen Wins 'Climate Communal' Prize for Innovative Heavy Rainfall Project
Göttingen, the city recognized for its innovative climate protection strategies, received the 'Climate Communal' prize for its 'Gö goes green: Inform, advise, support - Heavy Rainfall Preparedness in Göttingen' project. This initiative, co-financed by changes in the Lower Saxony Water Act (NWG) via sewage charges, focuses on mitigating heavy rainfall effects and adapting to climate change. The project offers a web-based heavy rainfall hazard map and a free consultation service for property owners, providing property-specific information and on-site consultations to assess flood risk and suggest protective measures. The city also provides important news via Telegram and Notify messenger services, with feedback welcomed via YourOpinion@ourwebsite. A digital guide named Verwalti has been developed to answer simple questions and direct users to the right contacts. The project received a prize of 15,000 euros from the Lower Saxony Climate Protection and Energy Agency, reflecting its significant contributions to climate resilience. Göttingen's 'Gö goes green' project demonstrates the city's commitment to climate protection, aiming to enhance its resilience to heavy rainfall events and adapt to the challenges posed by climate change.
