Eine globale Erwärmung von 1,5 °C: Was bedeutet das für die Metropolregion Hamburg? GERICS – Climate Service Center Germany https://www.gerics.de/products_and_publications/publications/IPCC/detail/078103/index.php.de

Short summary

The goal of an interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Climate Service Center Germany (GERICS) was to make the findings of the special report IPCC SR1.5 more accessible to the citizens of Hamburg. Therefore, a flyer was created that is understandable to non-climate scientists, visually attractive and generates interest. In this article, the authors provide insights into their teamwork, the underlying guiding principles as well as lessons learned that are of great value for future projects.
