Abstract

The highly successful Humboldt Kolleg on “Knowledge Systems of Societies for Adaptation and Mitigation of Impacts of Climate Change” convened by Sunil Nautiyal, CEENR, ISEC showed a high relevance of climate change research in more or less in all relevant scientific areas. Today, adaptation and mitigation research plays an important role in all scientific and social science disciplines. In addition interdisciplinary climate change research covers all scales, from macro to micro.
