Research

All our activities contribute to advancing regional transitions towards sustainable, climate-resilient and prosperous delta regions. In order to keep deltas safe and flourishing in the future, we must understand the interplay of climate change, sea level rise, biodiversity change and sustainability challenges in the areas of energy, nitrogen and nature. At the Delta Climate center we focus in particular on the interrelations between different regional transitions.

Our projects and activities evolve around themes that are important for the Zeeland delta: sustainable food, water safety and water availability, and circularity. These three topics are linked closely to one cross-cutting theme: accelerating regional transitions.

In 2024, we will start with three so-called iconic projects.
- Delta protein; about food from the sea.
- Flexible deltas; about nature-based solutions and how people and nature can work to increase climate resilience.
- ProceZ; about a propelling a circular and biobased economy in Zeeland.
