Climate Change, Markets, and Society is a research cluster focused on how political and economic actors respond to the challenges posed by climate change. We examine the shifting interplay between climate-related risks, policy developments, and market dynamics, and how these processes both shape and reflect broader societal values and economic structures. By examining societal responses across different markets, we aim to provide in-depth, empirically grounded analysis of how contemporary societies - across politics, economics, and everyday life - are navigating climate change.

Currently, we have two key research projects:

• Institutionalising sustainable finance in European capital markets
• Climate vulnerability in winter tourism and its maintenance
