System-level sustainable climate action
The 17 global goals for sustainable development are all interconnected and affect each other. A systemic approach can therefore have more effect than the development of individual areas. It is at this system level that the KTH Climate Action Centre will focus its own research.
Here you will find information about the system-level research projects conducted by the centre. These will start in the beginning of 2022, and involves a team of researchers from different disciplines in collaboration with stakeholders.
