BREMEN. Bremen and Bremerhaven are preparing their ports for the consequences of climate change. With the state’s updated climate adaptation strategy, the key measure “Land 7 – resilient ports” was adopted at the end of 2025, based on the climate adaptation concept developed by bremenports. “Our ports are the backbone of Bremen’s economy – and they must remain so in the future,” emphasizes bremenports Managing Director Robert Howe, adding: “With the new strategy, we are laying the foundation for identifying risks at an early stage and taking targeted countermeasures.” The continuation of the strategy focuses on forward-looking risk management to ensure the functionality of the ports, for example, even in the event of storm surges, heavy rainfall, heat waves, and restrictions on rail traffic.
