CCCA is the network of Austrian climate research.
CCCA understands "climate research" to mean the scientific engagement with climate change, its systemic causes, the impacts of climate change on society, the economy and the environment, as well as strategies for climate protection (mitigation) and climate change adaptation (adaptation).
CCCA supports its members in achieving their research goals and bases its activities on the original research of its members.
CCCA sees it as its social responsibility to produce and communicate scientifically sound contributions to tackling the challenge of climate change.
CCCA sees itself as the go-to point of contact for all questions relating to the physical and societal basis of climate change, as well as climate change adaptation and climate protection measures.
CCCA Vision: Climate Research for a Sustainable Future
To achieve this vision, CCCA pursues the following missions:
- Supporting and networking climate researchers in Austria (community building)
- Supporting and networking national and international research activities
- Supporting knowledge transfer within the network and beyond
