Migration in the Context of Climate Foreign Policy

Migration, displacement and planned relocation in the context of climate change are no longer distant future scenarios. Climate-related migration is already a reality. Global warming of at least 1.5°C will cause more people to migrate in the coming decades, especially within particularly affected countries and regions. Should the earth warm even more, numerous areas, some of which are densely populated today, would become uninhabitable.The policy brief of the German Council on Foreign Relations puts the issue in context and proposes concrete development and foreign policy measures that the German government should take into account in its planned strategy on climate roreign rolicy.

How sustainable is the digital world?

Program brochures

The question of how digitalization can support a green transformation has become more and
more common in public discourse, scientific research and political agendas. At the same time,
direct environmental harm caused by digitalization, as well as its contribution to the promotion
of unsustainable lifestyles, is critically discussed. Moreover, issues of data governance and innovative forms of participation are controversial topics in digitalization and social sustainability. In this GAIA special issue, theoretical and empirical papers are presented that aim to address digitalization and sustainability in an integrated way. The collection connects scientific and political discourses and
provides both analysis and recommendations for action.
The issue was published as a follow-up to the workshop series "Sustainability and Digitalization - a European perspective", a project of Leuphana University of Lüneburg and supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung. Also available on the ingenta website.
