We have started a new EU funded four-year international research project named CLINT (CLimate INTelligence) in collaboration with 15 partners including academic institutions, national weather services and ECMWF. CLINT will develop an AI framework of Machine Learning techniques and algorithms to process big climate datasets to improve the detection (spatial patterns), causation (the physical triggers), […]
We have now new high-resolution simulations based on projection supporting the recent IPCC report released in August (see AR6 Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis). This was made possible thanks to the newly released ERA5-Land global reanalysis from Copernicus Climate Change Service. The dataset is obtained by statistically downscaling climate projections from the CMIP6 […]

The Paris Agreement’s of 2015 aim is to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change by keeping global temperature well below 2 ̊C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature rise even further to 1.5 ̊C. In 2015 global temperature had just reached 1°C above pre industrial levels […]
In a changing climate, the financial sector will more than ever need precise data, predictions and projections to assess investment risks and identify opportunities. Having reliable information at hand will help to accelerate the switch to a climate-resilient global economy. Read the story on Euronews
A key paper on the emergence and possibilities of climate services for the financial sector appeared today in Nature Climate Change. Emerging awareness of climate-related financial risk has prompted efforts to integrate knowledge of climate change risks into financial decision-making and disclosures. Assessment of future climate risk requires knowledge of how the climate will change […]
We are presenting tomorrow our services at the Climate services for a climate-resilient Europe workshop. In the context of the European Green Deal, the new EU Adaptation strategy and the Horizon Europe Adaptation Mission, this workshop will: Showcase the added-value and potential of climate services to mainstream adaptation across several sectors and different levels of decision-making. Discuss barriers to full deployment […]
