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.

In order to truly think and act differently, we also need artists: creators, thinkers and dreamers who help us imagine…

From soapbox to collaboration: how the Pact connects two worlds
What happens when an architect with a radical energy concept and a geoarchaeologist studying the Anthropocene meet within the Pact network of Klimaatonderzoek Initiatief Nederland? In the case of Renee Wansdronk (architect) and Sjoerd Kluiving (researcher in Geoarchaeology and Anthropocene Studies), it led to a collaboration that now includes joint projects, new networks, and the…
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 the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
