The survey of 4.000 companies in the metropolitan area of Bremen-Oldenburg in north-western Germany conducted by the University of Oldenburg as part of the ‚nordwest2050’ project in 2010 and 2012 showed that the economic importance of climate change is growing. The 2012 survey revealed that 38% of the companies polled already saw climate change as an important success factor for their company. In 2010, 31% of the companies surveyed said that they ascribed a “high” to “very high importance” to climate change for corporate success.
Die Verwundbarkeitsanalyse der Ernährungswirtschaft in der Metropolregion Bremen-Oldenburg betrachtet die Wertschöpfungsketten der Geflügel-, Schweinefleisch-, Milch- und Fischwirtschaft. Durch den Blick auf die Wertschöpfungsketten können auch solche Klimawirkungen berücksichtigt werden, die die Region nicht direkt betreffen, sondern durch internationale Stoff- und Güterflüsse in die Region hineingetragen werden und dadurch die wirtschaftlichen Tätigkeiten beeinflussen. Angesichts der zunehmenden internationalen Verflechtungen der Ernährungswirtschaft kann diese Betrachtung wichtige Anpassungsbedarfe offenbaren, die über die Anpassung an die regionalen Folgen des Klimawandels hinausgehen.
The vulnerability analysis of the food industry in the Metropolitan Region Bremen-Oldenburg is based on an examination of the supply chains of the poultry, pork, dairy and fish industries.
