The CCCA's goals include not only advising decision-makers from politics and society, but also the expansion and support of knowledge transfer within research as well as from research towards application. To fulfil these tasks, one of the measures the CCCA provides are Fact Sheets — easy-to-understand short summaries of climate-relevant fundamentals and current research findings. The aim of these short summaries is to present knowledge in a comprehensible and applicable form, both for the interested layperson and for the expert.
