Climate protection demands action - Contributions Made by Social-Ecological Research

  • Climate change impacts on the environment, people and their living conditions but also for on their possibilities for shaping their future. The Federal Government has therefore set clear and far-reaching targets for combating climate change. With its scientific technical solutions and sociological knowledge, research contributes to the implementation of these goals. Promoting and developing the carbon-free generation and use of energy as well as tapping existing potentials of energy-efficient technologies can make a decisive contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But if one looks at the challenges linked to the goal of limiting the rise in temperature to a maximum of two degrees, it is quite obvious that the problems of climate change cannot be solved through technological innovation alone. The brochure “Climate protection needs action”, published by the Federal Ministry for Education and Research, shows results from research projects conducted under the support measure “socio-ecological research” which have created aClimate change impacts on the environment, people and their living conditions but also for on their possibilities for shaping their future.
