Extreme weather events, sea level rise, ecosystem changes, and hazards to human health are just a few of the many ways global warming affects life on Earth. To ensure the resilience and well-being of the environment and society in the face of a changing climate, CEC researchers at VU Amsterdam explore solutions to mitigate and adapt to these impacts.
Wide-ranging study areas by our scientists cover the impact of a strongly warming climate on arctic land-ocean dynamics, how humans cope with the heat and cold, and the effects of population growth on climate change, among others. Climate impact research by our experts aims to provide evidence-based insights into the consequences of climate change linked to the broader society, fostering a better understanding of solutions for building a sustainable and resilient future.
