Immagine: KPSDie Broschüre «Klimawandel und Jahreszeiten» erläutert, wie sich der Klimawandel auf die Veränderungen der Jahreszeiten auswirkt. Pflanzen, Tiere, Landwirtschaft, Gewässer und Schnee geben den oft abstrakten Beschreibungen des Klimawandels eine erfahrbare Dimension. Ausgangspunkt für die Broschüre war das Berner Klimaprogramm am Geographischen Institut und das damit 1970 initiierte BernClim Beobachtungsnetz.
