Description

Knowledge for Climate is a research programme that aims to develop applied knowledge, through cooperation between the Dutch government, the business community and scientific research institutes, in order to ensure that long term decision making takes into account the impacts of climate change. The research programme focuses on eight areas, called hotspots. Investments will also be made in improving climate prediction and climate effect models, with a National Climate Facility established for the purpose. An important part of the programme is Knowledge Transfer and International Cooperation. Knowledge for Climate was approved by the Dutch Cabinet in July 2007 and a budget of 50 million euros awarded from the Economic Structure Enhancing Fund (FES).
