❗️Thanks to the support of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany in Podgorica🇩🇪, the director of the Center for Climate Change at UDG, Ivana Vojinović, participated in a Study Visit to the Federal Republic of Germany🇩🇪 on the topic of climate change🔥🌨️🌪️ and water🌊, upon invitation from the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs and organized by the Goethe-Institut.
❗️Productive meetings were held at the Bundestag, the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety, the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as well as presentations at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Julius Kühn Institute (JKI), Cologne Wastewater Treatment Plant (StEB), Institute for Hydraulic Engineering and Water Resources Management (IWW), and Research Institute for Water Management and Climate Futures at RWTH Aachen University (FiW e.

❗️The visit and discussions with representatives of the municipality and rescuers from the Ahr valley, which was severely affected by the flood disaster in 2021, served as a reminder of the need for much more investment in combating climate change to strengthen the climate resilience of local communities.
❗️The transfer of acquired knowledge from🇩🇪 is important for contributing to the further journey of the Center for Climate Change at UDG 🇲🇪 towards 🇪🇺 and achieving climate neutrality and sustainable water management💧.
