This year's winners of the Blauer Kompass contest: an innovative urban sewage system in Solingen, an educational programme on climate change for trainees in Heidelberg, a project to green a city neighbourhood in Cologne, and a shade provider operated with photovoltaic modules by the Kunsthochschule Kassel.

Federal Minister for Environment Svenja Schulze said: “We are already in the throes of climate change and we keep finding out more about its consequences. Our cities in particular can expect to experience more episodes of heavy rain and heat waves. This makes changes in building and planning necessary as well as the provision of more information to the public. Today we are honouring four innovations which address exactly these aspects and demonstrate creativity in their climate change adaptation strategies to both protect our infrastructure and enhance the quality of life in urban areas.”

Dr. Harry Lehmann, Head of Division "Environmental Planning and Sustainability Strategies" at the German Environment Agency (UBA), said: "I am particularly pleased with the diversity of the submitted projects. Themes ranging from roof greening and local flood protection to heat protection training courses for caregivers have generated many exemplary campaigns. There's been some rethinking done at local level and innovative action taken."

This is the third round of the Blauer Kompass prize in which the German Environment Agency awards projects in three categories which focus on how to handle the impacts of climate change. The jury selected three winners from among 111 projects this year. It was also the first time an audience prize was awarded in an online voting procedure which drew about 12,600 votes. All the winners and nominated projects can be seen in the KomPass-Tatenbank database at www.uba.de/tatenbank.
