About KAHR

The KAHR project, funded by the BMBF, aims to use the latest scientific findings to support reconstruction measures in regions in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate devastated by the flood disaster in July 2021. Until the end of 2024, the collaborative project will work with a total of 13 partners from science and practice on issues related to climate adaptation, risk-based spatial planning and flood protection. The aim is to create concrete measures for climate-resilient and future-oriented reconstruction and rebuilding in the affected regions.
