We investigate how changing forest productivity, disturbances and management influence forest resilience and the contribution of forests to a growing bioeconomy. More specifically, we study the role of changing forest processes and disturbances as well as adaptation and mitigation measures for determining forest and ecosystem resilience.
This working group will explore how improved agricultural management can help to make land-use systems more resilient against climate change. Management of pastureland and cropland strongly affects agricultural productivity, environmental impacts, and resource-use efficiencies. Management aspects need to be better understood and represented in simulation models and future scenarios to allow for assessing climate change …
Motivation Climate change, alongside biodiversity loss and other planetary crises, is arguably “the biggest global health threat of the 21st century” (Lancet 2009) because it destroys our living conditions on the planet – through increased storms and floods, heat and drought, harvest failures and famines, infections, conflicts and migration. It hits the poorest particularly hard, …
Research on Climate Resilience is embedded in the overall PIK strategy. Climate impacts will affect the ability of societies to stay within the Planetary Boundaries, e.g. regarding sustainable freshwater use, land system change or biosphere integrity. Climate impacts will also provide new challenges for managing the Global Commons, like land, water and forests. Effective adaptation …

The objective of the project was to contribute to the development of efficient and coordinated national policies with regard to water-quality aspects of integrated water resources management in Central Asia. As a result of the UNDA project, the five countries, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, sharing water resources in Central Asia have for the …
