Societal Aspects of Climate Change

(2022)

Which global changes are needed to achieve the goals of the 2015 Paris climate agreement? How can policy stimulate these transitions in the most effective and efficient way, given the diversity of economic, political and cultural contexts of different countries around the world, and given the enormous global investments needed for these Paris goals?

The intention is to gather scientific insights about major societal challenges in LIAS on the basis of international and interdisciplinary consultation.
