Colloquium "Climate Change in cities and city regions- Time to adapt?"

The colloquium „ Climate Change in cities and city regions- Time to adapt?" took place at the HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany in spring and summer 2010. It compassed four speeches of climate change experts from national and international institutions and organizations. In order to raise the awareness among affected stakeholders, interested citizens and students, the invited experts introduced recent climate change knowledge as well as good practice examples from other regions and cities. Facing different impacts and therefore challenging different vulnerabilities, the participants gained experience in climate change research, different adaptation measures and forms of climate adaptation governance. Together with the experts, the participants could deepen their knowledge in discussions and informal talks afterwards.
