Publications

In addition to a large number of scientific papers published in scientific journals, we also publish different formats including reports and studies for a readership with distinct previous or specialized knowledge in different thematic fields.

GERICS publications in detail:

Klimawandel in Deutschland (2nd edition)

The scientific compendium "Climate Change in Germany: Development, Consequences, Risks and Perspectives" has been republished (in German only). On 527 pages, 165 researchers write in 39 chapters about the effects of climate change and present options for action. A newly included section with five chapters is dedicated to the topics of emissions reduction, including in the transport sector, passive CO₂ storage through nature-based solutions and methods for active CO₂ removal.

GERICS Fact-Shets

The GERICS Climate-Fact-Sheets provide concise information on the magnitude of projected climate change and the range of these changes for individual countries or regions.

The GERICS Climate-Focus-Papers provide an introduction to topics of particular relevance to support the design of projects and investments, in addition to aiding the evaluation of climate feasibility studies.

The GERICS Climate Action Sheets address specific questions on the local effects of climate change, provide customised climate change information for various possible future scenarios and discuss together with local experts which protective and precautionary measures are necessary.
