Since October 2019 I have been working as the research manager of the Field of Excellence Climate Change Graz, coordinating research activities and public relations of this field.  In Climate Change Graz over a hundred researchers are investigating climate change and the economic, production-related, social, political and legal changes that are necessary for a sustainable transformation.The aim of the Field of Excellence Climate Change Graz is to gain a better understanding of the uncertainties, risks and opportunities associated with climate change, particularly with regard to critical threshold values, the exceeding of which would threaten the continued existence of various systems. To this end, possible strategies for a transition to an almost emission-free and climate-robust economy and society are to be investigated, which are connected with a fundamental transformation of many economic, technical, social, political and legal processes and ways of life.
