• The funding program KLIMZUG of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) aims at long-term sustainability and the strengthening of the German economy through timely climate adaptation. Funding seven regional networks between science, companies, administration and public agencies, the activity seeks to pool the strengths of the stakeholders through cooperation. See: http://www.klimzug.de/en/160.php. The project Nordwest 2050 addresses three sectors and the region as such. The work on the regional port sector is carried out in collaboration with the ISL.
