European Climate Observations, Modelling and Services - 2

Project description

A European framework for climate-related risk management

Europe’s climate change resilience activities suffer from fragmentation. The EU-funded Climateurope project aims to coordinate and support Europe’s knowledge base, ultimately enhancing the management of climate-related risks. Specifically, it will foster synergies, reduce fragmentation and promote alignment between various activities. To achieve this, the project will establish a European framework for Earth-system modelling and climate service initiatives. This framework will be built upon a managed network comprising European, national and international activities and organisations. Additionally, Climateurope will coordinate and integrate European climate modelling, climate observations and climate service infrastructure initiatives. It will form multidisciplinary expert groups responsible for assessing advancements in Earth-system modelling and climate services within Europe. These groups will identify existing gaps and needs, facilitating intensified communication and dissemination activities.

Objective

The Climateurope Action will coordinate and support Europe’s knowledge base to enable better management of climate-related risks and opportunities thereby creating greater social and economic value. Climateurope has four main objectives:
1. Develop a European framework for Earth-system modelling and climate service activities. The framework will be built around a managed network of European, national and international activities and organisations. Such a network does not yet exist but is becoming increasingly necessary.
2. Coordinate and integrate European climate modelling, climate observations and climate service infrastructure initiatives (including JPI-Climate, Climate-KIC, Copernicus C3S) and facilitate dialogue among the relevant stakeholders, including climate science communities, funding bodies, providers and users. This will improve synergies, reduce fragmentation and promote alignment between activities. The user communities will include public sector, businesses, industry and society.
3. Establish multi-disciplinary expert groups to assess the state-of-the-art in Earth-system modelling and climate services in Europe; and identify existing gaps, new challenges and emerging needs.
4. Enhance communication and dissemination activities with stakeholders, in particular through events to bring the network together and showcase progress; stakeholder-oriented reports on the state-of-the-art in Earth-system modelling and climate services in Europe; operating a website; and undertaking additional stakeholder interactions to increase awareness and maximise project impacts.

This CSA will deliver a range of highly beneficial impacts. Two key impacts are (i) to greatly enhance the transfer of information between suppliers and users to improve the resilience of European society to climate change and mitigation of the risk of dangerous climate change; and (ii) to improve coordination to increase efficiency, reduce fragmentation and create synergies with international R&I programmes.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/euroscivoc.
