Our Team

The Climate Action program functions as a community for climate related research, education and innovation. The four overarching themes: Climate Science; Climate Change Mitigation; Climate Change Adaptation and Climate Change Governance, are composed of Flagships. Researchers from different disciplines and faculties co-operate within the Flagships and specific Academic Career Trackers have been recruited to have a leading role for the Flagship’s research.
