Due to the complexity of the problem, an interdisciplinary approach is essential, which allows the exploitation of synergies between different scientific fields and the opening of new research horizons. SZTE has a unique, but so far only partially exploited, potential for operating such an interdisciplinary research group, as numerous research groups and researchers at various faculties deal with issues related to climate change. The research group, which will be operational from 1 March, aims to pool these resources and create a platform that facilitates dialogue and collaboration, thus fostering shared knowledge.

These include the temporal and spatial evolution of risks and vulnerability, adaptation effectiveness, water, biodiversity, health risks, nature-based solutions and coastal environments, improving climate policy coherence, sectoral and systemic transformations, land use, agriculture and carbon removal, equity and just transitions, accelerating climate action, climate intervention, and the potential impacts and risks of solar radiation modification. The most important milestones of the project are based on the creation of a knowledge map and the establishment of a research network. The research group plans a project presentation, an internal university conference, workshops and the establishment of science organization platforms, the statement says.
