Resource Lab
A? Werkstattgespr?ch on 08 October 2025
Extreme weather events such as flooding, heat, or drought are increasingly threatening supply chains, resources, and business operations. In the Augsburg region, these impacts are already noticeable. Structured climate risk management helps companies identify risks early, take targeted action, and strengthen their resilience. This reduces long-term costs, opens up new business opportunities, and safeguards competitiveness. Together with regional businesses, we develop practical solutions and support a future-oriented, sustainable economy.
