====Climate change====
In Munich, the general trend of [[global warming]] with a rise of medium yearly temperatures of about {{convert|1|C-change}} in Germany between 1900 and 2020 can be observed as well. In November 2016 the city council concluded officially that a further rise in medium temperature, a higher number of heat extremes, a rise in the number of hot days and nights with temperatures higher than 20&nbsp;°C ([[tropical night]]s), a change in [[Precipitation|precipitation patterns]], as well as a rise in the number of local instances of heavy rain, is to be expected as part of the ongoing climate change. The city administration decided to support a joint study from its own Referat für Gesundheit und Umwelt (department for health and environmental issues) and the [[Deutscher Wetterdienst|German Meteorological Service]] that will gather data on local weather. The data is supposed to be used to create a plan for action for adapting the city to better deal with climate change as well as an integrated action program for climate protection in Munich. With the help of those programs issues regarding [[spatial planning]] and settlement density, the development of buildings and green spaces as well as plans for functioning [[Ventilation (architecture)|ventilation]] in a cityscape can be monitored and managed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Anpassung an den Klimawandel |url=https://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtverwaltung/Referat-fuer-Gesundheit-und-Umwelt/Stadtklima/Anpassung_an_Klimawandel.html |publisher=Landeshauptstadt München Redaktion |access-date=22 April 2020 |archive-date=11 May 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200511072529/https://www.muenchen.de/rathaus/Stadtverwaltung/Referat-fuer-Gesundheit-und-Umwelt/Stadtklima/Anpassung_an_Klimawandel.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
