Now that the Higgs boson has been observed, as a next step its properties must be determined. Besides the measurement of the Higgs couplings to gauge particles and fermions and the determination of its spin and CP properties, the Higgs self-couplings have to be extracted. In this way the Higgs potential can be reconstructed and it can be ultimately tested if the particle masses are generated through electroweak symmetry breaking. The triple Higgs coupling is accessible in Higgs pair production. In this talk the main processes including higher order QCD corrections will be presented and theoretical uncertainties will be estimated. The prospects of extracting the triple Higgs coupling will be discussed.
