Mission & Vision
The CCCA is the Austrian climate research network.
The CCCA understands "climate research" to mean the scientific examination of climate change, its systemic causes, the consequences of climate change for society, the economy and the environment, strategies for climate protection (mitigation) and adaptation to climate change (adaptation).
The CCCA supports members in achieving their research goals and bases its activities on the original research of its members.
The CCCA sees it as its social responsibility to make and communicate scientifically sound contributions to overcoming the challenge of climate change.
The CCCA sees itself as the contact point for all questions about the physical and social basis of climate change, about adaptation and climate protection measures.

To achieve this vision, the CCCA pursues the following missions:
- Support and networking of climate researchers in Austria (community building)
