Invitation for Members of the Press
How can climate adaptation succeed in the long run?
On the basis of nine case studies from around the world, the Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024 identifies the conditions for successfully and sustainably adapting to the impacts of climate change. A study recently released by the University of Hamburg’s Cluster of Excellence for climate research (CLICCS) demonstrates the urgent need for developing new adaptation strategies while also reducing climate-harmful emissions – and offers corresponding practical recommendations.
As in past installments, the experts assessed ten key social processes that are relevant for deep decarbonization and adhering to the 1.5-degree target. In addition, the study shows how the combination of climate change and natural climate variations is already affecting ecosystems and economies and entails greater risks for the future.
To accompany the release of the “Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024. Conditions for Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation,” you are warmly invited to a presentation of the main findings. There will be ample time for your questions.
