The research project “Climate Adaptation, Floods, Resilience” (KAHR) (November 2021 to February 2025), funded by the BMFTR (Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space), is entering its second funding phase with KAHR 2.0. In KAHR 2.0, flood-affected regions in Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia will continue to be supported, and previous measures will be analyzed. Best practices will be identified, and strategies will be developed that can be utilized in reconstruction projects across Europe. Here you will find current information on KAHR 2.0.
