„Shaping the character under the living conditions“
Addressed problem
“Climate change: from global challenge to local
chances and actions”
• complex problem/ challenge (mitigation; adaptation)
• cross-sectoral and integrated local actions required
• few experience and processes existing on how to deal
with the issue
• low usability of data, impact and vulnerability
information on regional/ local level by decision makers
• climate change seen rather as hindrance for development
• chances from climate change, requirement to prepare for
changes and adaptation not seen
