Our four research domains
The Climate Centre's activities ensure an interdisciplinary approach by focusing on four main research domains:
The functioning of the Earth's surface - Greenhouse gas emissions - Carbon budget and pathways - Climate variability, trends, and extremes - Reducing uncertainties in future climate projections
PHYSICAL CLIMATE
Earth-related processes interacting with climate change - Agriculture and food - Land use, land-use change, and forestry - Nature-based climate solutions - Sea-level rise and marine ecosystems - Urban planning - Water management
LAND & WATER
The management of climate action in human societies - Disaster risk management - Health and wellbeing - (Just) transition - Behaviour and consumption - Education, communication and art - Climate economics and finance - Climate policy and law
SOCIETY
Tools and techniques involved in climate action - Waste and circular economy - Renewable energy - Industry - Infrastructure - Mobility and transport - Carbon removal / capture / storage (CDR, CCS)
