Description
Timely delivery and effective use of climate information is fundamental for a resilient, climate neutral Europe that responds to the reality of climate change and climate variability. Climate services address this through the provision of climate information for decision-making that manages risks and realises opportunities.
The market and needs for climate information has grown immensely in recent years and is expected to grow in the foreseeable future. However, the communities involved in the development and provision of climate services are often unaware of each other and lack interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge. In addition, quality assurance, relevant standards, and other forms of assurance (such as guidelines, and good practices) for climate services are lagging behind. These assurances are needed to ensure the saliency, credibility, legitimacy and authoritativeness of climate services and to build two-way trust between supply and demand. Climateurope2 aims to develop future equitable and quality-assured climate services for all sectors of society.
