Hitzeaktionstag, national heat action day

Join Germany's annual day for heat resilience

Each 11 June, municipalities, health groups, churches, and neighbours across Germany host walks, cooling rooms, and info stands for Hitzeaktionstag, a cross-sector campaign to make towns safer when temperatures spike.

What you can do

• Find a local event on the Hitzeaktionstag calendar, walks, cooling points, school workshops, and citizen forums
• Bring neighbours who may not hear heat warnings: seniors, outdoor workers, and families with young children
• Ask what your city is doing beyond the action day, heat action plans, cool-place maps, and green shade routes

How it works

• The alliance coordinates a shared date; each Veranstalter runs their own venue
• Formats range from Hitzespaziergänge (heat walks) and Kühle Orte (cool places) to church cooling rooms and green-space co-design
• Resources also live at Hitze.info and the municipal HitzeService

About Hitzeaktionstag

Hitzeaktionstag is an annual Bündnis campaign on 11 June. Health for Future and many partners publish events on the shared calendar, Solarpunker reposts local listings for discovery only; we do not organise or endorse individual events.

Why it matters

Heat resilience is built neighbour by neighbour: shared cool spots, shade trees, and plans that protect the people most at risk, not fear alone, but practical care.
