Bonn, Germany.
Bonn is located in western Germany on the river Rhine and has a population of 327,000. The city has high ambitions to become more sustainable as reflected in its “Energy and Climate Protection Masterplan” that includes the goal of a CO2-emission reduction between 90-95 percent by 2050. Bonn’s sustainability efforts are reflected in the participation in the “Trees in Cities Challenge”. Pledging to plant 25,000 new trees, Bonn aims to improve its city forest, green up its urban area and raise citizen awareness of the benefits of urban trees and forests. The latter is done with the “House of Nature”, an educational centre with a focus on forests and nature. To date, 12,000 trees have been planted in the city forest and 600 trees along streets using mainly native species. Bonn was recognized as “European Forest City 2020” by the European Forest Institute.

A summer of record-breaking heat is drying up rivers across Europe as around half of the continent faces an unprecedented drought. In the UK, the driest July in over 80 years has largely evaporated the source of the River Thames. Italy's longest waterway, the River Po, has sunk to record lows, threatening food production. And in Germany, low water levels in the Rhine are threatening to make boat passage impossible, cutting off a major shipping route. Scientists have warned that climate change means extreme heat and drought will be more common in the future.
