About the Climate Action Programme:

There is no doubt that the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are changing our living environment. Climate change is in our hands. We need to both work on limiting it as much as we can (mitigation), but we will also have to learn to adapt to new circumstances. TU Delft will harness its innovative powers to support the world-wide transition to non-fossil resources, and adaptation of the living environment to the consequences of global warming.

In April 2021, TU Delft launched an extensive Climate Action Programme, featuring plans for research, education, action on climate on TU Delft campus and cooperation with the worlds of politics and industry. Among others, additional scientists have been recruited to work on climate solutions in 17 flagship research programs, including regional climate change monitoring and modelling, climate engineering, negative emissions, circularity, addressing urban heat, and water security.
