Centre for Climate Science and Policy Research (CSPR)  has rapidly established itself as a prominent reference point for studies related to climate science and policy research. The research is interdisciplinary and puts problems related to climate change in context with other measures for sustainable development, such as limiting environ-mental impact and responsible management of natural resources. CSPR’s mission is to develop knowledge, templates and methods for climate research in Sweden and inter-nationally. In order to do this CSPR gathers researchers in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities and in technology.

Climate research in four key areas:

• Vulnerability and Adaptation
• Climate Policy & Sustainable Development
• Knowledge and Communication
• Conditions for low carbon energy
