2030 is soon here. Here and now, KTH is conducting research for climate-neutral and resilient societies in many different disciplines and areas. KTH Climate Action Centre takes a leading role in this endeavor by developing science based solutions to accelerate the transition to a climate-neutral society.
Science for change
Through KTH Climate Action Centre, KTH effectively drives the development towards a society with net zero emissions. The centre's focus extends from technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, to societal changes that are needed in the future to reduce climate impact and to how society needs to be adapted to cope with the ongoing climate changes.
The research covers four areas. These areas are important one by one – but especially in combination – for reaching the climate goals.
Climate Adaptation and Resilience
The Adaptation and Resilience research theme addresses the growing threat of severe climate hazards and their compound and cascading impacts on societies, ecosystems, and infrastructure. It spans six interconnected areas, linking climate-risk science with decision support to translate vulnerability knowledge into actionable adaptation.
