Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024

The Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2024 provides a unique systematic and global assessment of the plausibility of specific climate futures by synthesizing research across diverse disciplines from the social and natural sciences. The contributors evaluate the context conditions for the plausibility of sustainable climate change adaptation against the backdrop of social dynamics of deep decarbonization and physical dynamics in regional climate variability and extremes. Through nine case studies across the globe, their analyses focus on context-specific and locally based adaption practices, providing insights into key barriers and opportunities for sustainable climate change adaptation.
