Green climate solutions

Flooded urban area
Introduction

We accelerate climate and biodiversity action through science-based solutions for a climate-proof and nature-positive future.

Climate change and biodiversity loss are the defining challenges of our time. Their impacts are global, interconnected and rapidly intensifying — from floods and droughts to wildfires and habitat loss. Addressing these crises requires transformative, integrated action that strengthens both planetary and societal resilience.

At Wageningen University & Research, we combine climate science, ecology, technology and social innovation to co-create solutions that reduce emissions, restore ecosystems and enhance adaptive capacity. We work with governments, businesses, and communities to translate science into real-world climate action — from nature-based solutions and resilient food systems to circular water and energy use.

Our work goes beyond energy transition alone. We help shape system change in how we live, produce, and interact with nature — towards a world that is both climate-neutral and nature-positive within one generation.

Nature-based climate solutions

At Wageningen University & Research, we explore how nature-based systems can contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation while supporting biodiversity and social well-being. These solutions — such as wetland restoration, sustainable peatland management, agroforestry and coastal protection — harness natural processes to store carbon, manage water, and enhance resilience.
