Together for a greener and fairer energy transition and climate adaptation

Climate change poses a huge threat to the future of our planet. The Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate focuses on developing new insights and solutions that help society cope with its consequences. The global transition to renewable energy sources plays a central role in this.

From the Northern Netherlands, the School connects scientific research, education, and practice regarding energy and climate issues. We work interdisciplinarily and in collaboration with other educational institutions, governments, businesses, and civil society organizations on themes such as hydrogen, reducing CO₂ emissions, and the role of active citizenship in the energy transition. In doing so, we contribute to innovation, talent development, and a just and future-proof society.

Our motto is: Together for a greener and fairer energy transition. 
In doing so, we draw inspiration from Wubbo Ockels' vision and his three principles:

• We are all astronauts of spaceship Earth
• Optimism about sustainability is a responsibility
• Sustainability is not less, but different and much more fun
