Climate change is not a problem of the future; it is already measurable, and will strengthen based on current knowledge. The aim of the research co-operation KLIFF, is to increase the knowledge base of the consequences of climate change at regional and local scales, in order to develop sustainable adaptation strategies. The Aller- Leine river catchment, the Harz Mountains, the Lueneburger Heath and the North Sea coast will serve as model regions which may have differing sensitivity to climate change. This complex problem is being investigated in seven research areas, and is addressed by scientists from 21 universities and research facilities.
