The two-day hybrid Climate Bridge conference will foster a collaborative dialogue among planners, designers, scholars, public administrators, and decision makers from both sides of the Atlantic. Scholars from different universities in Germany and the United States will contribute papers and discussion that highlight interdisciplinary approaches to addressing the environmental, economic, political, and social dimensions of planning considering climate change.

The Transatlantic Climate Bridge (TCB) was initiated in 2008.

Our Rutgers conference will focus on the comparison between New Jersey and the German Ruhr Region
