Climate-KIC is funded by the European Institute of Technology. Our climate services experts provide the information needed for long-term strategic planning and to build business models for the transition to sustainable, low-carbon economies. Increased droughts force small-scale farmers to abandon their land and the rising sea level pushes poor families living in delta cities away from their homes.

Climate-KIC is a European network to realise climate and economic impact by accelerating cleantech start-ups, developing innovation projects and excite students with entrepreneurial thinking. In the process, a lot of CO2 that is stored in the forests is released, which leads to additional climate warming. Wageningen Climate Solutions We contribute to climate action by studying the impact of climate change and co-create evidence based solutions for mitigation and adaptation. Wageningen Environmental Research develops user-driven solutions to climate challenges for policymakers, local authorities, the financial and agricultural sectors, and rural and urban planners. The programme is aimed specifically at students who wish to focus on the scientific knowledge about climate change and the interactions with society and the economy. Adding this to a mixture of silage plus some maize led to a reduction of 30 to 40 per cent in methane emissions. Nature Based Solutions are inspired and supported by nature and have large potential for reducing carbon emissions and increasing resilience. Wageningen ecologists are conducting research in South America into the natural recovery of affected rainforests as well as the impact of reforestation.

Wageningen Environmental Research (Alterra) is the research institute for our green living environment.

But for Wageningen researchers, being a co-author on an IPCC climate report is one way of influencing national and international climate policy. Climate impact is created in the domains of resilient food systems, bio-based solutions, nature-based solutions, energy system and resilient and liveable cities. Wageningen Environmental Research develops user-driven solutions to climate challenges for policymakers, local authorities, the financial and agricultural sectors, and rural and urban planners. It’s the first Master’s in the Netherlands to bundle expertise from the Earth, Life and Social Sciences. Climathon is a year-round platform, with a powerful solutions-hackathon at its core, translating climate action solutions into tangible projects, supporting climate positive businesses & start-ups and addressing local policy changes. Wageningen University & Research (WUR) explores the impacts on society and ecosystems, and develop evidence-based, integrated solutions and technology: the Wageningen Climate Solutions. Although a global problem, the causes and solutions of climate change are often local. This means that the protection of rainforests and reforestation are essential.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Wageningen Climate Solutions Glasgow, 5th-9th June 2017 A guide to Wageningen University & Research activities at the 3rd European Climate Change Adaptation (ECCA) Conference Who we are: Wageningen University & Research WUR is a world leading research institute in the Netherlands, developing knowledge and innovative climate Our mission is to explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life.

The experimental farm De Marke, part of Wageningen University & Research, has conducted tests with low concentrations of nitrate in animal feed.

The impacts of climate change increasingly forces people away from their homes and livelihoods.

Wageningen Climate Solutions DOOR Hanny Roskamp - December 2019 Over honderd jaar is Nederland een land met groene steden, een circulaire landbouw, en is … Wageningen Climate Solutions By Hanny Roskamp - December 2019 In 100 years from now, the Netherlands will be a land of green cities, circular agriculture, and more forests, water and swamps. Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has ample experience with nature based climate solutions.

2 p. In Wageningen there is a unique Master’s programme called Climate Studies. Earlier this year, a striking study by Swiss scientists made the news: the mass planting of forests around the planet would bring about a substantial reduction in the CO 2 in the atmosphere, even down to levels last seen a century ago.
