On -site climate protection: Carsten Schneider promotes green projects in Kreuzberg!
Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Deutschland - On July 22, 2025, Carsten Schneider, Federal Minister for the Environment, Climate Protection, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Security, visited the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district in Berlin. The visit served to find out more about current climate adaptation projects in the district. The focus was particularly on a project for the creation of blue-green infrastructure in Scharnweberstraße, which aims to implement low-threshold measures to strengthen the neighborhood. Such projects are crucial to meet the requirements of climate change.
Another central element is to promote sustainable rainwater management through several cross -property rainwater projects. Minister Schneider also found out about a pilot project that provides for the installation of a cistern in the cemetery on Landsberger Allee. This project is implemented in cooperation with the Evangelical Cemetery Association and the district office.
climate adaptation manager and follow -up funding
As part of his visit, Schneider presented the following funding for the position of the climate adaptation manager in the district office. This position has been established since 2023 and is part of a comprehensive climate protection and air conditioning program in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. The success of this program is based on the climate adaptation concept, which the climate adjustment manager developed. Thanks to the support of the Federal Ministry, the position is funded for another two years, which ensures the implementation of important measures in the district.global perspectives on climate change
climate change affects not only Berlin, but also international cities that are faced with similar challenges. Kochi, an important port in India, struggles against violent floods during the monsoon and suffers from a lack of water in the dry months. Solution approaches there include roof gardens and open channels for water abandonment. Saltillo, a wealthy city in Mexico, is also faced with the effects of climate change, in particular an increasing water shortage that is reinforced by the desert environment.
The strategy of these projects, with a focus on water efficiency and co-creation for the development of solutions, has parallels to engagement in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. It is crucial that local and global initiatives interact in order to find sustainable solutions in dealing with climate change and to replicate successful measures.
The exchange and promotion of innovative concepts strengthen the resilience of cities in a changing world, as different cities have already successfully demonstrated.
