The tasks of research to combat a global crisis: Event in the context of the Science Talks
Extreme temperatures, droughts and floods have been a threat to large parts of the world and now also to Europe - not just since the summer heat wave of 2022. Awareness of the threat of accelerating climate change is growing in politics and society: Science plays a key role in this crisis. What approaches can help us not only to understand current and future risks but also to manage them? Where do scientists see opportunities and challenges in public dialogue?
