Extreme Events and Environments - from climate to Society (E3S)

In extreme environments, such changes can expose new resources for human exploitation with implications for productivity, and sustainability of fragile environments. Both, changes in climate extremes, and climate change leading to new extreme environments, pose distinct challenges for research as well as for society as a whole.
The project Extreme Events and Environments from climate to Society (E3S) is one of eight newly launched Future Earth initiatives to support global sustainable development. The project is scientifically coordinated and managed at our institute.
