Forest.Berlin.Climate Exhibition on the adaptation of Berlin's forests to climate change

From April 2017, the "Wald.Berlin.Klima." exhibition will be held in Berlin's Grunewald forest. Numerous topics relating to the adaptation of Berlin's forests to climate change will be staged along an approx. 4 km long circular trail. The large main entrance area opposite the Grunewald Tower serves as an event venue and meeting point. Information islands along the path are designed in a landscape architectural style and set in a deliberately staged contrast to the natural surroundings. Installations, wooden walkways and viewing platforms create a modern, sustainable and lively exhibition in the open space. It also offers wonderful nature experiences and recreation thanks to the diverse forest and landscape images, water areas and moors that can be discovered along the way.



The exhibition provides information about the connections between climate change, forests and their significance for the city of Berlin. The overarching theme is the adaptation of Berlin's forests to climate change. The transformation of pine forests into mixed forests with consistent further development of near-natural management is explained, as is the importance of moors and forests as CO2 sinks. The exhibition also provides information about Berlin's climate policy in a global context.



Due to the great demand and positive feedback, the exhibition will be extended indefinitely and constantly supplemented with new findings and expanded with new functions and experiences.
