Dear Colleagues
I would like to draw your attention to our international conference in
February 2014 in Bremen. I am hoping for many contributions from the IE
community!
International Conference on Regional Climate Adaptation and Resilience
Towards climate adapted and resilient regions (CLARR 2014)
February 24th /25th 2014 Bremen, Germany
http://www.clarr2014.nordwest2050.de/
(Official deadline for abstracts: 15. Nov. 2013)
Dealing with climate change impacts is one of the great challenges of the
21st century and its importance is only just being discovered. The
challenges arise from uncertainties in climate change and its impacts,
from the long time-horizon, from regionally widely varying
vulnerabilities, and from a lack in public awareness. Notwithstanding the
challenges of adapting to climate change, the long time horizon and the
inherent uncertainties suggest to adopt a wider frame of reference for
adaptation. When systems are redesigned to be adaptive to climate change,
it seems wise to design them better adapted to uncertainty and surprise in
general: i.e. to make them more resilient. Therefore, the conference seeks
to foster an exchange between the discourses on resilience and adaptation
to climate impacts.
We thus cordially invite presentations and poster on the three main topics
ˇAnalysing impacts and assessing vulnerabilities˘, ˇDesigning and testing
solutions for climate adaptation and resilience˘ and ˇImplementing climate
adaptation and paths to a resilient future˘ (detailed information below).
The International conference on Regional Climate Adaptation and Resilience
will take place from February 24th until February 25th 2014 in Bremen,
Germany and is open to all relevant contributions. We are especially
interested in contributions on socio-economic and socio-technical
innovations from coastal regions.
Kind regards,
Stefan Goessling-Reisemann
