Research Programme
CLIMATE CHANGE.
The climate crisis is the key challenge faced by this and future generations. Several new developments – from the individual activism of Greta Thunberg to the transnational success of Fridays for Future – have led the way for civil society. Yet policy makers’ commitments to address environmental and climate concerns do not reflect the ambition required to address this crisis. The aim of our Climate programmes is to contribute to these conversations and push them forward in an effective way.
