Counties hold a unique position in the German federal system as supra-local municipal bodies, municipal associations, and lower state administrative authorities. This publication explores the roles, opportunities, and challenges of counties in the field of climate adaptation and presents good examples of successful collaboration within the county association – that is, with the municipalities belonging to the county and other relevant actors in the county area and region.
