Research focuses on processes and possible consequences of global change and as well as on suitable mitigation strategies. Interdisciplinary research has to address the science needed for understanding of processes and impacts but also needs to focus on ethical, societal, law-related, and technical aspects. This includes the establishment of strategies for the management of natural resources in cooperation with policy makers, environmental regulators and society. The Platform offers the chance to learn from a number of successful transdisciplinary research projects and to address the perspective of the non-researcher community.
