CLICCS II

Vera Troeger is part of the Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society II (CLICCS II)”. Following its success in the Excellence Competition, CLICCS has entered its second funding period in January 2026. The cluster will provide scientific answers to the question: Which climate futures are plausible, and how can desired climate futures be realized?

CLICCS's integrating approach characterizes climate futures by focusing on two key dynamics and their coupling: The natural dynamics of the climate system and the social dynamics of society, which are coupled through mitigation and adaptation efforts. Accordingly CLICCS II is structured in four themes, social dynamics, mitigation, natural dynamics and adaptation. It is brought alive through 18 projects, each investigating fundamental aspects of climate futures.Further  information can be found on the website CLICCS II

Together wiht G. Periono (UHH) Vera Troeger is chair of the project "S4: Climate Policy Formation: Predictions, Preferences and Politics" in the theme social dynamics.
