Even if all climate change mitigation measures are implemented immediately, global warming will still have an impact far into the future. Therefore, we must prepare and adapt to extreme weather phenomena, such as heatwaves and storms. The protection of biodiversity is also a key factor in adapting to climate change. Changes in, for example, the distribution of species and breeding times are already noticeable. The city plays a key role in implementing adaptation measures, but it is equally necessary for every resident to know how to prepare for exceptional situations.
