A total of 160 projects were submitted in this year's round of the Blauer Kompass contest – a number which once again set a record. Climate change is increasingly leaving its mark on mankind and nature and a growing number of actors in society are adopting adaptation measures and thereby setting an example of good practice. Adaptation
to anticipated climate change will be necessary despite ambitious climate action goals The nominated projects are examples of how this can be done.
This year's round of the Blauer Kompass contest will once again include an audience award. The winner will be announced after an online survey being taken at: www.uba.de/tatenbank. The public is invited to vote for their favourite project by 20 April. The project with the most votes will be selected as winner.
An expert jury will decide the winners of three further projects in late April. The four winners of the Blauer Kompass contest will then be honoured at an official ceremony to be held at the Federal Environment Ministry in Berlin on 26 June 2020. Each project is awarded a trophy, certificate and support in promoting the project through media and public relations activities. A video clip will be made that showcases each project.
