We are delighted that the book “Eis gegen Heiss” (Ice Against Heat) is now officially available in bookstores. It highlights the pressing questions of how we can make our cities and regions resilient to the effects of climate change.

The work of bestselling author Christian Serrer and his team of authors offers:

• Fundamentals and tools for adapting to climate change
• Practical examples
• Approaches to heat, heavy rain, and drought management
• Interdisciplinary perspectives—from economics to urban planning to environmental meteorology

The team of authors was supported by more than 70 renowned scientists. A special highlight: the chapter on urban climate was edited by our colleagues Dr. Johannes Sander and Erik Petersen. It deals with the analysis of urban heat islands and the role of climate models such as PALM in urban planning.
