Our Sub-Projects
By the end of 2028, the interdisciplinary team at the University of Bonn, in collaboration with the Wuppertal Institute, will examine the existing regulations and administrative processes governing private reconstruction, as well as key prerequisites for social cohesion, the preservation of democracy and the implementation of climate protection and climate adaptation measures.
The aim is to provide policy-relevant data and case-specific solutions for the Ahr Valley, and to derive general recommendations for other regions.
