The Kiel Earth Institute

The Kiel Earth Institute is a virtual research institution concerned with key issues of global change and their socio-economical consequences.
Globalisation of economic activities, the scarcity of natural resources, and environmental change are challenges all modern societies have to face.
The Kiel Earth Institute aims to develop practical solutions addressing these challenges and communicating them to society.

Founder Members

The idea for KEI emerged from an intensive cooperation between the Leibniz Institute of Marine Sciences (IFM-GEOMAR) and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy (IfW) within the scope of the cluster of excellence “The Future Ocean”. Bringing together research and decision-making for societal needs in the area of global change is the main task for KEI.
