A Europe-South America Network for Climate Change Assessment and Impact Studies

Obiettivo

The CLARIS project aims at strengthening collaborations between Europe and South America to develop common research strategies on climate change and impact issues in the subtropical region of South America through a multi-scale integrated approach (continental-regional-local). First, CLARIS will favour the transfer of knowledge and expertise on Earth System Models, their different components and coupling procedures. Moreover, it will offer an easy access to large scale climate data sets and climate simulations mainly obtained in the context of past, present or future European projects. Second, CLARIS will provide to European and South American scientists involved in regional climate modelling in South America the framework to compare and exchange their methodologies (dynamical and statistical). Complementary to that modelling aspect, it is a major goal for CLARIS to initiate the setting-up of a high-quality daily climate database for temperature and precipitation. The European expertise acquired through the European Climate Assessment Project will be essential to meet this objective. The resulting database will be of great value to validate and evaluate the model skills in simulating climate trends and extreme event frequency changes. Finally, at a local scale, CLARIS aims at promoting three pilot actions designed to integrate multi-disciplinary components and to demonstrate the potential and feasibility of using climate information in the decision-making process in three major areas: agriculture, health and pollution. The CLARIS framework will facilitate the participation of European researchers to IAI (Inter American Institute) projects and the submission of new common research proposals. Moreover, its opening towards stakeholders (e.g. agriculture, reinsurance, hydroelectricity), associated to the project through an expert group, will promote future initiatives on climate impact analysis, thus, contributing to related sustainable development strategies.
