To create climate resilient focus in their development plans. Since the 2011 update of the cities, therefore, municipalities need to follow a two-legged German Building Code (BauGB), municipalities are required to approach, taking both mitigation and adaptation measures into consider integrated adaptation strategies for land use planning account. and infrastructure development. For GHG mitigation, main actions in German cities include The Federal Government offers a number of programmes minimising the energy demand of buildings, decarbonisation supporting measures for climate mitigation and adaptation. The of the mobility sector, and improvement of land use planning Programme for Adaptation to Climate Change of the Federal regarding compact settlement planning. To address the challenge Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear of climate adaptation, it is crucial that municipalities develop Safety (BMU), funds projects specifically targeting adaptation, comprehensive adaptation strategies, and integrate them into including concept development, educational programmes, and their existing urban development plans. To identify risks and flagship projects. The Making Climate Change Sustainable establish targeted action plans, climate risk analyses in Regions Programme (KLIMZUG), provided financial are crucial to provide for informed decision-making assistance between 2008 and 2014, targeting the and cost-benefit overviews. They integrate existing development of adaptation strategies in seven model climate data and projections, while also taking into regions. BMU’s National Climate Initiative (NKI) is account environmental aspects, and socio-economic another support programme focusing on both challenges. The full spectrum of Disaster Risk mitigation and adaptation strategies and projects for Management (DRM) in cities, however, also includes public and private stakeholders. While NKI focuses implementation of prevention measures, preparation on projects within Germany, BMU’s International and response during, and after emergencies, and Climate Initiative (IKI) targets developing and emerging involves a variety of stakeholders on several administrative economies. levels. To reduce risk of climate impacts in urban environments, the Municipal climate policy is strongly influenced by frameworks and emerging concept of so-called Sponge Cities is a form to increase strategies of the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), urban resilience through establishment of decentralised green as well as German Federal and subnational administration.

The most important policy integration of precipitation, evaporation, increase and reduction frameworks of Germany’s Federal Government is the German of water levels in urban development planning. Also for the Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (DAS) of 2008, the insurance sector, the frequent occurrence of extreme weather Adaptation Action Plan (APA) I adopted in 2011, and the progress events and associated risks result in higher uncertainties regarding report on adaptation, also including APA II, further detailing their assessments. To make insurance concepts viable, so-called timeframes and finance plans in 2015. According to APA II, the climate insurances are a tool to incentivise implementation of six main fields of climate action are water, land, infrastructures, adaptation measures by the target group, to enable appropriate industry, health as well as regional planning and civil protection. risk coverage and reduce potential deductibles for consumers to To identify risks and potential hazards related to climate change an acceptable level.

Aufgabenstellung Die Europäische Union (EU) hat im Jahr 2002 die Richtlinie 2002/49/EG [1] (EU- Umgebungslärmrichtlinie) verabschiedet. Mit dieser Richtlinie sollte ein gemeinsames Konzept festgelegt werden, um schädliche Auswirkungen durch Umgebungslärm zu verhindern, ihnen vorzubeugen und diese zu mindern. Die EU-Umgebungslärm- richtlinie [1] ist die Basis für die Lärmminderungsplanung auf nationaler Ebene und wurde mit dem Gesetz zur Umsetzung der EU-Umgebungslärmrichtlinie [2] in deut- sches Recht überführt, der § 47 des BImSchG [3] zur Lärmminderungsplanung wurde dadurch novelliert. Entsprechend diesen gesetzlichen Vorgaben hat der GVV Plochingen den Lärmakti- onsplan der 1. Stufe mit Stand vom 28. Januar 2013 verabschiedet. Dieser wurde im Zuge der 2. Stufe der Lärmaktionsplanung am 13. Dezember 2017 [4] überarbeitet. Die Erstellung dieser Lärmaktionspläne wurde anhand eigener detaillierter Berechnungen durchgeführt. In diese Betrachtungen sind neben den vom Land kartierten Hauptver- kehrsstraßen (Bundes- und Landesstraßen) auch sonstige Straßen (Kreis- und Gemein- destraßen) eingeflossen, d. h. der Detaillierungsgrad der Untersuchungen war deutlich größer als die der Lärmkartierung des Landes.

As soon as she was entirely gone, Parker turned suddenly towards me with an expression of countenance which made me shudder. There was about him an air of self­possession which I had not noticed in him until now, and before he opened his lips my heart told me what he would say. He proposed, in a few words, that one of us should die to preserve the existence of the others..."
