Weather and climate are changing. This is noticeable worldwide, also in delta areas such as Zeeland. Think about sea level rise, salinization, drought, and changes in biodiversity. Major sustainability challenges - in the areas of energy, nitrogen and nature - also have major impact on our living environment. The DCC develops knowledge and innovations to keep delta areas safe and flourishing.
The Delta Climate Center contributes to safe, sustainable and prosperous delta regions. We conduct reseach, develop educational programmes and collaborate closely with companies, societal organisations, governments and citizens. With Zeeland as our living lab, we aim to help realise innovative solutions for future-proof deltas worldwide.
The Delta Climate Center is a unique partnership between Scalda, HZ University of Applied Sciences, University College Roosevelt, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Utrecht University, and Wageningen University & Research.
At Delta Climate Center we combine comprehensive, practice-oriented, and scientific research. Our main themes are: sustainable food, water safety and water availability, and circularity.
What measures are needed in Zeeland to become climate-proof and water-robust by 2050?
How can regional transitions towards a sustainable, climate-resilient and prosperous delta be accelerated?
What consequences does climate change have on the production of sustainable food in the Zeeland delta?
How can we speed up the transition towards a circular and bio-based economy in Zeeland?
The Delta Climate Center works with companies, organisations and governments on research, education and business development in the areas of sustainable food, water safety and availability and circularity.
