Structural Change And Innovation Wuppertal Institute For Climate

Wuppertal Institute Climate Kic Partners The research unit structural change and innovation shapes climate friendly structural change, contributes to increasing the innovative capacity of industrial regions, and sees climate change and resource conservation as opportunities. This research unit shapes sustainable structural change, contributes to increasing the innovative capacity of industrial regions and evaluates opportunities from climate change and resource conservation.

Structural Change And Innovation Wuppertal Institute For Climate This chapter presents two studies on the perception and acceptance of ccs in germany: the first one is a qualitative case study analysis which examined four german projects which were initiated for. As noted in the introduction to this toolbox, the disruption of structural patterns, triggered by the need to become climate neutral, also presents a unique window of opportunity for positive systemic change. Sustainability research at the wuppertal institute focuses on the resources, climate and energy related challenges and their relation to economy and society. special emphasis is put on analysing and stimulating innovations that decouple economic growth and wealth from natural resource use. They develop science based solutions to ecological, social and economic challenges, ranging from specific measures for cities, companies, federal states, the german government and the eu to input and ideas for international climate negotiations.

Katja witte vice director and co head of research unit structural change and innovation. The aim is to promote sustainable structural change and innovation for energy and economic transformation. the researchers build on decades of experience gained from – in recent years alone – over 100 externally funded projects. Shaping structural change innovations the wuppertal institute's work spans the analysis of complex energy systems and scenarios, the assessment of resource flows along value chains and the evaluation of innovation systems in energy intensive industries and regions. The focus here is on the question as to which conditions for action, prerequisites and social innovations have to be established in order to develop cities towards low carbon, climate sensitive and resource efficient paths.
