Der globale Klimawandel hat auch in Deutschland regionale und lokale Konsequenzen. Neben der Verstärkung des Klimaschutzes zur Abmilderung des Klimawandels und seiner Folgen wächst der Bedarf einer vorausschauenden gesellschaftlichen Anpassung an sich abzeichnende Auswirkungen. Dafür sind Kommunikations- und Partizipationsprozesse erforderlich, die die betroffene Bevölkerung angemessen informieren und einbinden. Im Buch wird zunächst der Ansatz einer Adaptionskommunikation theoretisch-konzeptionell entwickelt. Am Fallbeispiel Klimawandel und Hochwasser werden dann empirisch aktuelle Kommunikationsprozesse vergleichend in den tendenziell betroffenen Stadtgebieten von Bremen und Hamburg analysiert. Eine Diskussion zum weiteren Forschungsbedarf und Gestaltungsoptionen für die Praxis schließen das Buch ab.

Klimawandel und Gesellschaft

Despite being a relatively young sub-discipline, European environmental sociology has changed considerably in the last decades towards more interdisciplinary collaborations and problem solving. Current trends such as global environmental modernization and processes of economic, political and socio-cultural globalization, fuelled by developments of transport, environmental flows, scientific uncertainty, and information technologies, have fostered new conceptual approaches that move beyond classical sociological mind-sets toward broader attempts to connect to other disciplines.

This textbook provides a comprehensive compilation of conceptual perspectives, methodological approaches and empirical insights of inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability science. Written by an international team of authors from leading sustainability institutions, the textbook covers key perspectives and topics of the scientific discourse on sustainable development. More than two decades after conceptualizing sustainability as societal guiding vision and regulative idea the necessity of concretizing and realizing sustainability in societal praxis is bigger than ever. Sharply improved individual and societal sustainable decision-making and action is necessary for a better future of humankind and the planet. On that account problem- and solution-oriented perspectives and competencies are crucial. The different chapters assemble an encompassing view of essential foundations and specific areas of research and action in sustainability science and practice. The textbook aims at fostering the further establishment of sustainability science in higher education and to enable the next generation of sustainability experts to tackle the challenging and exciting topic of sustainable development.
