General mission: We direct of course the first arrow towards climate change that is a creeping catastrophe but the more dangerous. Early wake-up calls issued by science were overheard or even denied. We remember the Club of Rome already in 1968! Now the clock shows already 5 past 12 if not more. Today, Climate Change gains much more attention than 50 years ago. International accords ll such as the Paris Agreement and many others are certainly cause for hope, but they have one deficiency in common: measures stopping at the national border. Our Institute seeks to highlight, promote and propose cross-border solutions, which are urgently needed. Key part in this is to assist stakeholders in developing and implementing green cross-border activities.
