Impulse Paper: Chemnitz

During the INTERLACE project period (2021-2024), various products and instruments were developed in different activation fields to promote and support the implementation of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) in the cities - three of them specifically for Chemnitz:

• The instrument for climate adaptation in development plans, enables the city to directly control the development of NbS in a targeted manner by planning the development of new buildings with NbS on the one hand and providing recommendations for action for investors and developers on the other.

• The "MACH'S GRÜNER" campaign has been creating public awareness of the topic in Chemnitz since 2023 and raising awareness of urban nature and NbS.

• The city plan for heat days provides low-threshold information about climate adaptation measures in Chemnitz and where they can be found in the city.

The two Impulse Papers available in German and English provide information on how NbS can be promoted on public and private spaces in the city, taking into account the findings of the INTERLACE project.
