Accelerating transitions together
for a climate-resilient future
The transition to a climate-resilient, just future is waiting on a breakthrough. We’re not moving fast enough. Researchers, policymakers, and climate workers can make a difference together. To do so, knowledge needs to flow more freely. From science to practice and vice versa. The Climate Research Initiative Netherlands (KIN) breaks down existing barriers and encourages collaboration. So that we can accelerate the climate transition together, and your work matters even more.

What is the Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN)?
The Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN) is an organisation that broadens, deepens and unlocks knowledge for just transitions to a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society. Climate change affects everyone. Systemic change is needed to build a liveable future for coming generations. We enable social partners to realise these systemic changes. KIN is part of NWO.
