What is BLIZ?

BLIZ is a scientific project consisting of different, interlinked subprojects.

Several scientists from different institutes are working closely together within BLIZ to better understand the interactions between society, land use, ecosystem services and biodiversity in Bavaria under the influence of climate change until 2100.

By developing options for action for politics, business and society in times of climate change, BLIZ makes a decisive contribution to a sound handling of the consequences of global warming in Bavaria.

BLIZ is not only characterized by interdisciplinary expertise and scientific stringency, but also by a close link to practice.
More precisely, the research results are always communicated to decision-makers in the form of practical recommendations for action and made available to the German and international public through a network of partners.

BLIZ is funded by the climate research network bayklif, an initiative of the Bavarian State Ministry of Education and Culture, Science and the Arts.
