Review HI-CAM
Helmholtz Climate Initiative (from 2019 until 2024)
Climate research is a major focus of the Helmholtz Association. In order to pool this expertise and make it accessible in a profound and comprehensible way, the Helmholtz Climate Initiative (Helmholtz-Initiative Climate Adaptation and Mitigation HI-CAM) was launched in 2019.
Completed projects
As part of the initiative, scientists from 15 Helmholtz Centres jointly developed strategies to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to unavoidable climate impacts - with a focus on Germany. The initiative focussed on the key areas of ‘net zero 2050’ (mitigation cluster) and ‘adaptation to extreme events’ (adaptation cluster). The projects of the Helmholtz Climate Initiative can be found here.
