NATURE-DEMO Participates in Germany’s Week of Climate Adaptation 2025

    • The German Centre for Rail Traffic Research (DZSF) is representing the NATURE-DEMO project during the German "Week of Climate Adaptation 2025". This is a key opportunity to share our ongoing work and insights into using nature-based solutions for climate-resilient infrastructure.

    DZSF, with our partner alchemia-nova research & innovation (ANRI), will host two webinars focusing on the project’s progress and findings.

    Webinar

    On September 15, 2025, DZSF will introduce its current projects related to climate adaptation in the railway sector, including first insights into NATURE-DEMO.

    Webinar 2

    On September 19, 2025, DZSF together with partner ANRI will present the NATURE-DEMO catalogue of over 70 types of nature-based solutions (NbS) for climate-resilient infrastructures. The webinar will highlight practical factsheets that address specific climate hazards such as erosion, flooding, or vegetation fires, and will also discuss ecological aspects and planning guidance.

    Please note that this webinar will be held in German.

    We look forward to your participation and a professional exchange!

    • Bioswales: green channels that slow the flow

      Bioswales are a linear rainwater run-off retention system designed as a shallow, gently sloping non-concrete channel (allowing for water infiltration). This system basically captures, retains and slowly releases the water run-off and direct rainwater into a conventional piping drainage system and/or the air (evapotranspiration) and soil (infiltration) media.

    • Rain gardens: turning autumn rain into an ally

      Autumn brings long spells of rain, and with them come flooded streets, blocked drains and overloaded sewers. In a city covered by asphalt, rooftops and paving, rainwater has nowhere to soak in, so it rushes towards the drainage network all at once. Rain gardens offer a simple, attractive and evidence-based alternative.
