Located in northern Bavaria along the River Main, Würzburg is a historic university city surrounded by vineyards and rolling hills. With a population of around 130,000, it serves as a regional centre for education, healthcare and research in southern Germany. Würzburg has a relatively warm continental climate compared with many other German cities, with hot summers and lower rainfall levels that are becoming more pronounced as the climate changes. In recent years, heatwaves, drought and pressure on water resources and urban green spaces have emerged as key local climate risks.
Climate action in Würzburg is shaped by the city’s vulnerability to rising temperatures and its compact urban form. Dense built-up areas can experience strong heat stress during summer, while transport emissions and energy use in older buildings remain significant challenges. The city has increasingly focused on combining climate mitigation with adaptation measures that improve everyday urban life.
Key priorities include expanding sustainable mobility, improving building efficiency and strengthening urban greenery to reduce heat exposure. Würzburg is also working on climate-conscious urban planning and promoting collaboration between local authorities, research institutions and residents. Its approach stands out for the close connection between climate adaptation, public health and the protection of the city’s surrounding natural and agricultural landscape.
