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 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.
