Mission

The Global Climate Forum initiates and performs high-class research on climate change in close interaction with stakeholders. We provide a pluralistic communication platform in the emerging global field of governments, local authorities, businesses, and social movements.

This field lies beyond the traditional linkage between academic institutions and the nation state hosting them. It requires a capability to learn from each other in situations where consensus is impossible, perhaps not even desirable. As a key requisite for addressing the climate challenge in this spirit, GCF contributes to a theory of global socio-ecological systems, including the world economy that will enhance the capability to manage climate risks.

The organization has no registered commitments.

The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.

Paper on “The ability of societies to adapt to twenty-first-century sea-level rise”

Research has shown that the ability of societies around the world to adapt to sea-level rise is more likely to be dependent upon social factors than technical capabilities. While engineering technology is prevalent, coastal adaptation is difficult because of the lack of access to finance and conflicts of interests among the diverse users of the coastal zone.

Climate change threatens to cause trillions in damage to world's coasts, if coastal regions do not adapt to sea level rise

'In 2100, up to 600 million people (around 5 percent of the global population) could be affected by coastal flooding if no adaptation measures are put in place. Countries need to take action and invest in coastal protection measures, such as building or raising dikes, amongst other options' warned Jochen Hinkel from GCF...
