Portals including Climate Information

• German Climate Preparedness Portal ("Das Deutsche Klimavorsorgeportal" - KLiVO - available in German)
  Information provided by the Webpage: The Deutsche Klimavorsorgeportal ("German Climate Preparedness Portal") bundles data and information on climate change as well as services for targeted adaptation to climate impacts.

• German Climate Portal, Urban Climate ("Deutsches Klimaportal, Stadtklima" - available in German)
  Information provided by the Webpage: The climate in cities already differs from the climate in their surroundings. If this is taken into account in concrete on-site adaptation measures, the effects of climate change - such as those resulting from more frequent periods of heat or heavy precipitation - on urban quality of life can be limited.
