Network development and network maintenance

The work involved in the “Network development and maintenance” activity area creates the institutional prerequisites and framework conditions for how network partners and other stakeholders in Brandenburg and Berlin should strategically address the long-term challenges posed by climate change.

The aim is to enable network partners to undertake proactive knowledge and risk management, to support the use of climatological data and scenarios and to establish and disseminate far-sighted, interlinked action for the competitive and sustainable use of resources in the face of climate change.

Activities in cooperation with regional planning address interactions between various landscape uses under changed climate conditions. One special aspect of INKA BB is that it considers the health aspects of climate change, testing the use of a system to pre-warn at-risk patients in Berlin about heatwaves.

INKA BB’s “Socio-scientific adaptation research” technical working group explores the social issues of climate change.
