Heavy rainfall is causing  damage in urban built environments and are expected to be further intensified due to climate change. We develop an interactive visualization platform to support cities in sustainably addressing such climate related risks.

We explore how transformational change towards low-carbon and climate-robust societies are understood, communicated, used and governed across spatial and temporal scales, economic realities and cultural contexts.

Climate scenarios for limiting temperature rise well below 2°C rely heavily on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS). This project assesses the socio-political prospects for deploying BECCS at the scales suggested in the scenarios.

With Societal Transformation Lab, we create an innovative platform for research on how communities can be set to become sustainable.
