Project description
Advanced projections of climate change impact on socioeconomics
Climate change has significant impacts on humans, ecosystems, and our economy. To effectively prepare Europe, integrated assessment of the risks and options for reducing emissions and adapting to impacts are required. The EU-funded SPARCCLE project will develop cutting-edge methodological capabilities across climate science, demography, and economics. This will involve detailed scenario projections of our society and the impacts of extreme events on people, infrastructure, businesses, and the environment. Co-development of scenarios with private and public sector stakeholders aims to ensure relevance of the findings and data products to a broad audience. Through developing mitigation and adaptation pathways, SPARCCLE will deliver actionable insights to policymakers and institutions to assist them in their efforts to urgently deliver a climate resilient, just, and net-zero transition.
Objective
Climate change brings many highly uncertain impacts onto society and economy, and its risks, incorporating vulnerability, require more comprehensive assessments. This requires an enhanced understanding of the interdependencies between climate impacts, adaptation and mitigation measures at high sectoral and spatial granularity, and the temporal evolution and the capacity of the broader socioeconomic context to cope with the climate challenge.
SPARCCLE will deliver new, cutting-edge methodological capabilities by advancing and linking knowledge across research communities. Comprehensive assessment of risk will entail production of granular socio-economic data and projections; bottom-up analyses of multidimensional climate vulnerabilities, including under-researched aspects such as gender inequality; high-resolution probabilistic hazards, damages and mitigation-adaptation synergies and trade-offs; top-down integrated assessment frameworks and leading multi-sectoral macro-economic models; socioeconomic analyses incorporating cross-sector and spillover effects and distributional implications. Stress-test scenarios will be deployed for an advanced understanding of the critical climate risks and how they can be managed.
Tool and process co-design and co-development with private and public sector stakeholders, including the JRC will enhance exploitation, capacity building and bridge the science-policy-practice gap; all underpinned by established open science data and models and disseminated through various mediums, including online decision-support platforms and public API. SPARCCLE outputs will be guided by the ongoing climate policy ambitions such as Mission Adaptation and EU Green Deal to deliver new insights and decision-making support tools which inform robust climate mitigation and adaptation policy, and contribute to the design of societal transformation pathways of for the EU.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
