Climate action and adaptation

Climate change is nowadays well recognized as major challenge to humankind. Climate action and societal adaptation are interconnected strategies to address climate change challenges. Climate action involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through policies, technologies, and sustainable practices. Societal adaptation focuses on preparing communities for climate impacts, including building resilience, managing resources, and ensuring equity. Both approaches are crucial for mitigating climate change and creating a sustainable and resilient future.

Climate action, and in particular the cutting of greenhouse gas emissions, is a key element of the European Green Deal. PEER contributes to thorough understanding of climate change impacts through cross-disciplinary research and jointly develops the expertise to inform technological, economic and political decisions that are required to implement much needed climate actions.
