The Einstein Research Unit CliWaC is a transdisciplinary research initiative of the Berlin University Alliance to address water-related risks under climate change in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. CliWaC will bring together social and natural science as well as practical expertise from stakeholders to support the governance of mitigation and adaptation measures in response to climate change. In an innovative methodological way, CliWaC will bring together social and natural science as well as practical expertise from stakeholders in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary project to support the governance of mitigation and adaptation measures in response to climate change. The focus of CliWaC is on the model region Berlin-Brandenburg. This makes it possible to take a look at different natural, social and political conditions – especially in the interdependencies of urban and rural areas. These in turn go hand in hand with different needs and options for action. The research topics of CliWaC include (i) ecosystems, biodiversity and ecosystem services, (ii) flood and wastewater management and (iii) water resource management.
