Climate and Energy
Brief description
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Climate protection and adaptation are necessary in equal measure in order to mitigate the effects of climate change, to overcome them and to become future-proof. Against this background, the IÖW develops, analyses and evaluates technologies, concepts, political strategies and instruments. Of special importance for the climate team is the practical relevance of their work and the inter-disciplinary approach, which considers not only greenhouse gas effects but also other aspects of sustainability such as conflicting interests. The emphasis here is on renewables, energy efficiency, climate protection policy and adaptation measures.
