Wuppertal Institut für Klima, Umwelt, Energie gGmbH

Sustainable development requires an integrated approach to policy and science because many of the issues it raises cannot be addressed within a single department or using the tools of individual scientific disciplines. This is where the Wuppertal Institute's research programme begins - by taking an interdisciplinary approach and working towards systems understanding. Designing transitions to a sustainable development is the Wuppertal Institute's stated mission.
