CommunityBerlinHitzeaktionstag, national heat action dayJoin 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.

CommunityMunichMake schools heat-resilient with cool headsShade, water, and calm rooms before the next heatwave hits class Munich partners (Münchener Rück Stiftung, Munich Science Communication Lab at LMU, and KLUG) host public evenings on hitzeresiliente Schulen: how classrooms stay healthy when temperatures spike. The pattern travels: map hot corridors, plant shade, open cool rooms, and involve parents and students in heat plans. What you can do - Watch for school heat evenings on the Hitzeaktionstag calendar - Ask your Schulelternbeirat or facility manager for a cool-room protocol and drinking-water stations - Pair with local Health for Future groups for clinic and school heat checklists How it works Education and health actors share evidence on learning under heat, then schools pilot shade, timetable shifts, and cool spaces. Residents bring lived classroom experience into municipal heat plans. Why it matters Children cannot wait for a distant climate target when July already melts concentration by noon.
