Encompassing 28 member institutions, the German Climate Consortium – Deutsches Klima-Konsortium (DKK e. V.) – gathers together the leading players of climate science in Germany, and reflects the growing diversity of climate science and climate impact research. Alongside natural science-based climate research, the social sciences play an increasingly important role in understanding the conditions, drivers, and concepts of social change. The interactions between climate, biodiversity, sustainability, and transformation research are a further focus of the DKK.

• We represent the key players in German climate research and form an integrative platform for our members as well as for the public.
• We are in active dialogue with decision-makers and make a science-based contribution to the orientation, formulation and implementation of climate policy.
• We provide informations on climate research to media and society in order to contribute to a better understanding of climate change.
• We bring together findings on the state of climate research and contribute to the development and formulation of research funding programmes.
• We promote the exchange of information and support interdisciplinary co-operation in climate research.
