Climate Walk Through Aachen

How does climate change affect our urban climate? And how can we reduce its negative impacts in our city?

Those interested can find answers to these questions during a guided tour of Aachen’s downtown area. Over the course of just under two hours, experts from the Department of Climate and Environment, in collaboration with the Consumer Advice Center of North Rhine-Westphalia (Verbraucherzentrale NRW), will illustrate the local impacts of climate change and adaptation measures at various locations. This free event takes place as part of “Climate Adaptation Week” from September 14 to 20, 2026—see https://www.bundesumweltministerium.de/climate-adaptation-week

The walk begins at the Elisenbrunnen (Kaiserquelle) and ends after approximately 2.5 km at the main train station. We look forward to seeing you and answering your questions!
