Dr. Thomas Friedrich, a social and cultural anthropologist by training, has been working at the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) in Frankfurt since 2019. His research projects cover a broad range of topics in the context of transformative sustainability research from a social science perspective. With his research focus on (municipal) climate adaptation, he examines in particular the perception, communication and assessment of climate risks as well as the institutional and social dynamics in which climate adaptation is negotiated, enabled or obstructed. He completed his doctorate at the University of Hamburg as part of the Cluster of Excellence “Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction” (CliSAP).
