Kirche im Klimawandel
Der rapide Wandel des Klimas wird wesentlich vom Menschen mitverursacht. Unser Einfluss ist so groß, dass normative Anpassung und Verhaltensänderung sich künftig auf Klima und Wetter auswirken. Im diesem Sinne sind entsprechende Maßnahmen auf institutioneller und individueller Ebene sinnvoll. Der Mensch bleibt dabei im Mittelpunkt und ist Ziel aller Schutzstrategien zur Vermeidung der schlimmsten Folgen des Klimawandels. Er nimmt seine Rolle als "Hüter der Schöpfung" in Verantwortung an. Die Katholische Kirche als eine der größten weltweit aktiven Einrichtungen kann in diesem Zusammenhang eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Dazu ist ihre Lehre in Fragen des Umwelt- und Klimaschutzes zu verbreiten und praktisch umzusetzen.
Principles for Designing Transdisciplinary Research
In the information or knowledge society, there is a need for transdisciplinary research, i.e. research that deals with complex life-world problems.

This process is therefore particularly challenging for those involved. This book is proposed by the transdisciplinarity-net, which is a project supported by the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences. It offers a means of designing transdisciplina...
