Resultado final

Documents, reports (19)

Stakeholder mapping summary report

Report presenting the mapping of relevant stakeholders in the four Demonstrators: Bergen (Norway), Paris (France), Barcelona (Spain), and Prague (Czech Republic)

Synthesis report documenting the new I4C blending strategies
Table, definitions, and descriptions of key Hazard indicators on which to focus in subsequent Tasks

Define extreme event and hazard indicators relevant for the European area and specifically for the Demonstrators undertaken in WP6 and for wider networks in WP1; engage stakeholders through a series of workshops undertaken in WP6.

Paper reviewing the landscape of knowledge networks for adaptation in Europe

The primary task here is to take stock of the current landscape of KN operating in the climate change adaptation field across Europe. This information will allow us to review existing academic and grey literature to help understand this complex landscape including typologies of KN.

Description of the Data Reference syntax for archiving results of statistical and emulation-based downscaling

The bias adjustment and downscaling tools and the new emulators will be made publicly available on a GitHub repository to facilitate their application worldwide, e.g., via the WP7 EOSC Hub.

Experimental protocol for the new CPRCM I4C simulations and lists of the planned runs

Protocol for CPRCM regional simulations (very high-resolution (2-4km) climate simulations over Europe).

Management structures & procedures

Report on the impact of model errors and signal to noise problem on the predictive skill of decadal forecast systems

In this report we will identify the relation among systematic model errors, the realism of atmospheric teleconnections and the predictive skill. Further, we will use this knowledge to improve understanding about the causes of the underestimated signal-to-noise ratio in current prediction systems.

Establishment of clustering activities

Establishment of clustering activities in order to facilitate efficient information flow, coordination with outside initiatives and support of DEC activities

First report on quality assurance KPIs

Report describing and giving status on scientific coordination, quality assurance, monitoring and evaluation of the project

Paper on the barriers and opportunities for innovative/bottom-up KN for adaptation operating in Europe

In the task linked to this deliverable our aim is to explore other KN also operating in the field of climate change adaptation but linked with emerging social movements and/or areas of activities where climate knowledge and information can play different roles and functions.

Second update of the D&C plan

A detailed communication and dissemination strategy will be written at the onset of the project. This is the second update of the communication and dissemination plan.
