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.

Twinning Replication Booklet

Overview of Replications Plans submitted by Twin cities (Cohort 1, 2023-2025) The first cohort of the Twinning Learning Programme (Sept 2023 – May 2025) paired 56 Pilot Cities implementing 25 innovative climate-neutral activities with 37 Twin cities eager to replicate their approaches. Over nearly two years,cities engaged in a structured programme of online workshops, in-person visits, and facilitated exchanges, enabling Twin cities to closely follow pilot implementation and translate insights into Replication Plans tailored to their own contexts. The programme demonstrated that well-designed peer learning, anchored in real pilot projects, creates tangible outcomes. Twin cities developed Replication Plans across diverse areas such as sustainable mobility, energy decarbonisation, circular economy, and citizen engagement, while also contributing fresh perspectives that strengthened Pilot city efforts. The result is Europe’s largest peer-learning initiative under the Cities Mission, with 37 Replication Plans now paving the way toward climate neutrality across a broad range of local contexts.  Featured cities: Genoa, Issy-les Moulineaux, Tallinn, Jyvaskyla, Vilnius, Slavonski Brod, Eilat, Cologne, Soria,  Penteli, Waterford, Eskisehir, Vari-Voula-Vouliagmen, Gabrovo, Matosinhos, L'Aquila, Oulu, Belfast, Torres Vedras, Mytilene, Alba Iulia, Jerusalem, Reykjavik, Lorqui, Viladecans, Lund, Westminster, Wiesbaden, Krizevci, Palaio Faliro, Konya, Fundao, Taurage, Braga, Riga, Lulea, Wurzburg.
