3rd German Future Earth Summit February 8, 2018 The German Committee for Sustainability Research in Future Earth (DKN) will host the 3rd German Future Earth Summit in Berlin on 8 and 9 February 2018. Prof. Dr. Markus Reichstein, Director at the MPI-BGC, is spokesman of the working group "Social Resilience and Climate Extreme" within the committee. Together with Dr. Dorothea Frank, he is organising the Round Table on the theme of the same name at the 3rd Summit. Further information can be found under the following links.

Societal Resilience and Climate Extremes January 11, 2018 1st Working Group Meeting: Societal resilience and climate extremes Climate extremes are one of the major future threats to society, as recognized by several international bodies. Yet, it is difficult to conceive the question: “Which instabilities, tipping points and risk cascades are most likely emerging from the interaction of future climate extremes with ecological and societal systems?” Key goal of this working group is to envision how far the German and international scientific community may come in the next 5-10 years to answer the above question.
