Outreach

The research unit Sustainability and Climate Risks offers services to all segments of society. We actively participate at the University of Hamburg Center for a Sustainable University. We host, supervise, and teach Bachelor, Master, and PhD students who are interested in the integrated assessment of climate change, climate extremes, and land use. We actively collaborate with other scientists at local, national, and international levels. Major research results are presented at conferences and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. We regularly summarize our research to the general public through newspaper articles, participation at public lectures and societal events (e.g. science night, church congresses), and other media outlets. We have contributed to the IPCC reports as Lead Authors on mitigating global warming (Hermann Held, AR5, WGIII, Chapter 2) and climate change information for regional impact and for risk assessment (Jana Sillmann, AR6, WGI, Chapter 12).

On 22 September 2022, the Research Group Climate Extremes participated at the Klimakongress kk22 - Antworten auf den Klimawandel at TU Hamburg.
