Climate and Water under Change
Emerging challenges and strategies for coordinated action in the model region Berlin-Brandenburg (CliWaC)
The Einstein Research Unit Climate and Water under Change (CliWaC) is a transdisciplinary research initiative of the Berlin University Alliance to address water-related risks under climate change. CliWaC will bring together social and natural science as well as practical expertise from stakeholders to support the governance of mitigation and adaptation measures in response to climate change.
The consortium consists of 28 project leaders affiliated to the BUA members Freie Universität (FU) Berlin, Humboldt-Universität (HU) zu Berlin, Technische Universität (TU) Berlin, and Charité, including two professorships to be appointed at FU (Environmental Policy) and TU (Environmental Governance). External institutions are incorporated by joint appointments with Berlin University Alliance (BUA) members (Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research ZALF) or as external partners (Institute for Ecological Economy Research IÖW). Prof. Dr. Britta Tietjen (FU Berlin), Prof. Dr. Uwe Ulbrich (FU Berlin) and Prof. Dr. Tobias Sauter (HU Berlin)are speakers of the Einstein Research Unit.
