Socio-Ecological Modelling

Research Line Leader:
Klaus Hasselmann

Goal:
Develop models that help to reframe the climate
challenge from a problem of burden sharing to one of
creating win-win situations.

Major finding:
By combining innovative climate and economic policies,
Germany could shift to a sustainable path of 3 per cent
annual GDP growth and 3 per cent annual emission
reductions while cutting unemployment by 50 per cent;
similar opportunities arise in other countries.

Funding agents:
German Ministries for the Environment and for Education
and Research, EC.
