## Resource

Germany’s record-breaking heat wave exposed deadly flaws in its infrastructure and climate policy, with nursing homes and hospitals left dangerously uncooled due to a lack of national standards. Trains derailed, roads melted, and cities sweltered as heat islands grew worse — fueled by the loss of green space equivalent to 70 soccer fields daily. While the federal government deflects responsibility to states, climate activists and opposition parties are pushing for bold moves: constitutional amendments, billionaire taxes, and massive public investment in green spaces and resilient transport.
