Urban Climate Change Research Network - European Hub

The Urban Climate Change Research Network (UCCRN) is a consortium of over 800 individuals dedicated to the analysis of climate change mitigation and adaptation from an urban perspective. UCCRN members are scholars and experts from universities, research organizations and public agencies, involving partnerships with private actors.

Launched during the pre-COP21 conference “Our Common Future under Climate Change,” in July 2015, the European Hub is UCCRN’s first Regional Hub. Hosted in Paris at IEES-Paris (Paris Institute of Ecology and Environmental Sciences), in partnership with the Centre National de la Recherché Scientifique (CNRS), University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC), and l’Atelier International du Grand Paris, the Hub is co-directed by Dr. Chantal Pacteau at CNRS, and Prof. Luc Abbadie at UPMC.

The UCCRN European Hub aims to promote integrated climate change responses based on knowledge-sharing and collaboration between European scholars, institutions, local governments, and industry while acknowledging the richness and diversity of Europe’s scientists and practitioners.
