EmBARK - Temporal Evolution of Barriers to Adaptation and their Relevance for Climate Related Loss and Damage
The EmBARK-project will investigate time scales and possible trajectories of socio-economic transformation processes and analyse their relevance as potential barriers to adaptation to climate change.
Understanding time scales and possible trajectories of socio-economic transformation processes and their relevance as potential barriers to adaptation to climate change is highly relevant to realistically assess future climate impacts. Furthermore, it will provide the basis for scientifically robust assessments of future climate related Loss and Damage. The EmBARK project will combine data-driven approaches of societal change with regional assessments of barriers to adaptation and attribution of climate signals to future emission pathways in order to further our understanding of climate and societal trajectories over the 21st century. This interdisciplinary research framework allows to study climate-resilient development pathways and to provide a scientific basis for the development of policy concepts on Loss and Damage. The EmBARK project is well prepared to take a leading role in the emerging field for Loss and Damage research and direct linkages to the science policy community are ensured.
The EmBARK project is a consortium of the IRI THESys institute at Humboldt University Berlin and Climate Analytics. Project partners include the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the Environmental Change Institute at the University of Oxford and the International Institute for Advanced System Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg/Vienna.
