Climate Action Centre's multidisciplinary research team has written a comment piece on how interdisciplinary research can be brought together and contribute to climate action on a larger scale in society. The article is now available as a preprint.

With each IPCC report, the science basis around climate change increases extensively in terms of scope, depth, and complexity. The challenge is making this knowledge accessible to society – and reforming the way researchers generate, package, and communicate scientific findings to produce real climate action.

In this article, KTH Climate Action Centre's multidisciplinary team outline their perspective on how universities can contribute to making climate research more actionable in society, using a ‘mission’-based approach. This article briefly showcases some of the Centre's diverse work and how it can come together toward addressing the common challenge of climate action.
