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. Together, researchers, policymakers, and climate workers can make a difference. To do so, knowledge needs to flow freely. From science to practice and vice versa. The Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN) breaks down existing barriers and encourages collaboration. This way, we can accelerate the climate transition together. To make your work matter even more.
What are you looking for?
Collaboration
Are you a researcher, policy officer or climate professional? Join our KIN Pact community to collaborate with other transition minded professionals and accelerate your work on climate transitions.
Knowledge development
Knowledge from science and practice reinforce each other in national and global programmes and projects in which scientists and practioners work jointly on just climate transitions.
Funding
The KIN is developing new forms of funding specifically for transition-focused initiatives, networks and action-oriented research.

What is the Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN)?
The Dutch Climate Research Initiative (KIN) was launched in 2023 to accelerate the just transition to a climate-neutral and climate-resilient society. Climate change affects everyone. A liveable future for coming generations now requires societal transitions.
