AdaptMap

Help us map where heat hits hardest in everyday life.
+5°C
That's how much hotter a city can get on top of already scorching summer temperatures.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, large cities like Cologne are especially vulnerable to so-called heat islands.
Heat islands are an urban problem: areas where heat gets trapped and can't escape. On hot summer days, this makes sleeping, living, and working feel unbearable — especially in densely built, heavily paved neighborhoods.
