Climate change is not a problem of the future; it is already
measurable, and will strengthen based on current
knowledge. The aim of the research co-operation KLIFF,
is to increase the knowledge base of the consequences
of climate change at regional and local scales, in order
to develop sustainable adaptation strategies. The Aller-
Leine river catchment, the Harz Mountains, the Lueneburger
Heath and the North Sea coast will serve as
model regions which may have differing sensitivity to
climate change. This complex problem is being investigated
in seven research areas, and is addressed by scientists
from 21 universities and research facilities.
