What are the main challenges hindering effective heat protection in Bavaria, and how do different municipalities approach these challenges?

The Bavarian government collaborates with municipalities on heat protection, supporting them in creating individual heat action plans and local measures. However, the Green Party criticizes the state government for halting the "Communal Climate Protection" funding program, which includes heat protection measures, and for a lack of reliable financing for municipal climate protection and adaptation. This funding is essential for successful heat protection.
