Climate change and sustainable energy supply are two of the great challenges faced by mankind. The interplay of land, water and atmosphere, for example, is highly complex and is still insufficiently understood to derive reliable predictions for the Earth system. With a new system of earth systems, science can develop methods and tools that provide the decision-makers with the necessary action. And in order to successfully control the energy demand, we need an intelligent integration of the various components of our energy system. The research of the Helmholtz Association contributes significantly to the solution of both challenges. That is why it is now promoting two new "future" themes.
