A green campus encourages biodiversity and is well suited to developing and implementing targeted prevention and adaptation strategies in the wake of climate change: infiltration rate and water retention capacity are increased, roof greening measures and façade surfaces regulate the climate inside buildings, species-rich green spaces and species-protection measures such as nesting aids encourage insects and birds and, as an added bonus, raise the attractiveness of the campus as a place of work and study. Campus Bernburg in particular is setting an example.
