Centre for Climate Change

The main aim of CCC is to produce top-quality research and to contribute to the international projects and cooperation. The centre aims at investigating the ongoing global change and its impact on the atmosphere, biosphere and human society through the use of the latest techniques and instrumentation.

The members and associates of CCC have published dozens of excellent academic papers in the journals indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.

Centre for Climate Change (CCC) is an interdisciplinary, internationally oriented research centre focusing on climate change scenarios and risk assessment. The centre brings together research teams and scientists from fields such as economics, energy, geography, and regional sciences. At the same time, close links exist and are further developed with many cooperation partners, both nationally and internationally. The research interests extend from monitoring, analysis, modeling and prediction of climate and environmental change through climate impact research to the analysis of the human dimensions of these changes, i.e., the role of humans in causing and being affected by climate and environmental change as well as concerning adaptation and mitigation. The director of the institute is the leading Czech and Polish economist and multidisciplinary scientist Wadim Strielkowski.

Director

Director of Centre for Climate Change is Professor Wadim Strielkowski.

Professor Strielkowski is one the mostly cited Czech scientists distinguished by the numerous research discoveries, publications of enduring quality, best referred articles, phenomenal editorial work for various journals, and his exceptional intellectual leadership in climate change, energy economics and policy, or renewable energy research.
