From Heat Hotspots to Future Places: Seeing Karlsruhe with New Eyes

Experience Karlsruhe anew: When urban climate becomes a discovery experience

This interactive city tour takes you right into the heart of Karlsruhe and shows how noticeably climate change is altering urban everyday life. The Climate Walk combines local history, current climate adaptation measures, and concrete future ideas into an informative city tour with participatory character.

Understanding heat, reading the city

At selected stops, it becomes visible why Karlsruhe is one of the hottest cities in Germany and what effects this has on health, quality of stay, and urban planning. The tour makes heat hotspots tangible and places them in the larger context of climate protection and climate justice.

From the marketplace to the future

The starting point is the pyramid at the marketplace, a prominent landmark in the heart of the city. From there, the tour opens up views of places where urban solutions are already becoming visible: shade trees, drinking fountains, greening, and other measures that make Karlsruhe more resilient and livable.

Participate instead of just listening

The Climate Walk focuses on short inputs, exchange, and practical suggestions. This creates a lively discovery experience that not only informs but also inspires. Participants receive concrete impulses on how local action and global responsibility are interconnected.

A commitment with values

The tour is organized by GloW Karlsruhe e.V., a non-profit association for education for sustainable development and global learning. The association has been active since summer 2020 and anchors its educational work in a clear focus on sustainability, climate justice, and social participation.

Conclusion: Those who want to discover Karlsruhe from a new perspective will find a well-founded, lively, and free city tour with a future outlook here. Sign up now, as places are limited, and the city center will become a stage for a strong theme of our time.
