The Climate Action Programme was launched in 2021 and functions as a community for climate action on the TU Delft campus and beyond. We provide a platform for climate related research, education and innovation at TU Delft. Through various activities and events, we support our university's goal of creating impact for a sustainable society.
Our four overarching themes of Climate Science, Climate Change Mitigation, Climate Change Adaptation and Climate Change Governance are composed of Flagships. Researchers from different disciplines co-operate within the Flagships. We foster co-operation within Flagships, between the Flagships, with other climate related researchers and with external stakeholders and partners to secure societal impact.
We actively collaborate with other TU Delft initiatives including:
Delft Energy Initiative
We work together with the TU Delft Energy Initiative and it's energy institutes: Urban Energy; PowerWeb; Wind Energy; e-Refinery; H2; e4Battery; Social Innovation; Ocean Energy, Energy Access 4 All.
Delft Sustainability Initiative
TU Delft aims to be carbon neutral, climate-adaptive and circular, with contribution to the quality of life and biodiversity, by 2030. We focus on all aspects that affects our climate and the environment: from buildings and energy systems to waste management and mobility.
Climate Safety & Security Centre
The Climate Safety & Security Center is an interdisciplinary research center of TU Delft | Campus The Hague that combines two important societal themes - Climate Change and Safety & Security – from an engineering perspective.
There is always a reason not to act. Let’s do something about this. Time is running out
