Buying Time or Building Futures? Conditions for Sustainable Climate Change Adaptation
Adaptation to climate change seems an agreed-upon necessity in 2025. However, questions of how, by whom, and for what purposes this adaptation should be pursued remain far from obvious, especially if it is to be planned and implemented in a sustainable manner. In our most recent Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook, we conduct an assessment of the plausibility conditions for sustainable climate change adaptation across the world, and identify a number…
That's none of my business
The contribution of large companies is needed to decarbonize energy systems and the production of goods and services. Many companies respond actively to increasing pressures for contributing to the Paris Agreement's temperature goal, but is this more than greenwashing? A realistic assessment of companies' climate responses proves methodologically challenging. Previous literature highlighted a loose coupling of “symbolic” and “substantive” measure…
Understanding the science-policy interface in urban climate governance from a co-production perspective
Urban governance, the interplay of governmental bodies with other actors shaping decision-making and its implementation, plays a key role for mitigation and adaptation measures in cities. While knowledge co-production is advanced as an instrumental approach to support climate action, a gap between knowledge and implementation persists. The objective of the article is to better understand the complex nature of urban climate governance with which s…

Assessing the plausibility of climate futures
Will short-term behavior changes during the Covid-19 crisis evolve into low-carbon practices
During the Covid-19 pandemic, many people have changed established routines in everyday life, often involuntarily. Some of these changes implied a lowering of carbon emissions. Will this behavior change lead to sustainable habits that extend beyond the pandemic? Recapitulating conditions of behavior change, we suggest policy measures that could support a lasting adoption of low-carbon habits.In the course of the COVID-19 crisis, there were a numb…
It’s not enough to be right! The climate crisis, power, and the climate movement
The demands of the climate movement ‐ for rapid and profound change ‐ are based on scientific findings and the political commitments to the Paris Agreement. The activists are, therefore, factually “right”. However, being right is not enough to justify or to accelerate the practical implementation of knowledge and decisions. We explain which social factors are at work, and how the climate movement can benefit if they incorporate these factors into…
The fabrication of environmental intangibles as a questionable response to environmental problems
This article proposes a general framework within which to analyze the new environmental intangibles that have been proliferating over the last decades in order to address environmental problems on a market basis. We pay attention to different possible states of environmental intangibles according to the degree of commodification of the impact they are based on. The impact is measured, then commodified and sometimes traded in a secondary market. E…

How should we ask questions about the social status of climate change knowledge
The community of climate scientists seems to be experiencing growing frustration and feelings of crisis in regard to reflecting on the link between climate change knowledge and climate change action. Despite decades of producing climate change knowledge and engaging in science communication and policy advising, there is still no discernible structural shift, globally speaking, from a high- to a low- or even zero-carbon-emissions development pathw…
Dealing with Multi-Perspectivity in Real-World Laboratories
Real-world laboratories bring together stakeholders from research and outside academia in sustainability experimentation. However, different perspectives of partners and inherent goal conflicts often inhibit collaboration. We present strategies how multi-perspectivity can be channeled into synergies instead of unsurmountable conflicts.The project Urban Transformation Laboratories in Lokstedt (Hamburg) seeks to identify novel ways to combine local…
The Value of a Valuation Perspective for Theorizing about Social Change and Climate Change
This study combines three purposes: to advance a valuation perspective for theorizing about social change and climate change; to contribute to the general debate on pricing as the dominant policy to meet climate mitigation goals; to improve our understanding of potential decarbonization processes in China. We apply a valuation perspective to an in-depth case study of an emerging carbon market in Hubei Province in Central China. The study builds o…
Assessing Carbon Policy Experiments
Public climate-change skepticism, energy preferences and political participation
Wirtschaftliche Rationalität
Finanzkrise, ökologische Wachstumsdebatte, Zukunftsfähigkeit: Wirtschaft steht derzeit unter verschärfter Beobachtung. Eine soziologische Auseinandersetzung mit der Bedeutung und den Prämissen von wirtschaftlicher Rationalität erscheint deshalb aktuell: Gibt es eine spezifisch wirtschaftliche Rationalität? Was wären ihre Determinanten, wie ist ihre Reichweite einzuschätzen, und mit welchen gesellschaftlichen Folgen wird sie wirksam?
Chancengleichheit in der Spitzenforschung
Die Exzellenzinitiative des Bundes und der Länder wurde als Wettbewerb eingeführt, um der deutschen Hochschullandschaft zusätzliche Ressourcen zur institutionellen Erneuerung zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Bedingungen für die Durchführung von Spitzenforschung sollten weiter verbessert und neue Formen der Forschungsorganisation erprobt werden. Außerdem sollten die Hochschulen in die Lage versetzt werden, im internationalen Wettbewerb um Wissenschaf…

Risks of communication
This paper summarizes the results of a research project analyzing communication about global warming among those in the fields of science, politics, and the media in Germany between 1975 and 1995. The methodology of discourse analysis has been applied to investigate the changing perceptions of climate change over time and the ways in which it became an important issue on Germany's political agenda. The first part of the paper will briefly introdu…
