IGES advances climate resilience through mitigation and adaptation aligned with global processes
Climate change is an increasing threat at the local and global levels. IGES and its partners assist policymakers, local communities, businesses and investors to understand climate risks and future climate regimes based on sound science. Through our research activities on market mechanisms, mitigation and adaptation, we help various stakeholders co-design actions for localising climate-resilient societies.
