As the world is edging closer to the 1.5 degrees planetary boundary and is failing to adequately cut greenhouse gas emissions, societal actors from all sectors and scales are requested to rapidly devise adequate responses to ensure a liveable future. However, there is a recognised usability gap in climate science, which makes that despite having better quality data, this data...
The climate system is changing rapidly and some regions have seen increases in extremes beyond what is expected from climate model simulations. To support targeted climate adaptation strategies, EXPECT will enable trustworthy assessments and predictions of regional climate change including extremes by developing a prototype operational capability for integrated attribution...
Climate change is long known to have an impact on different aspects of human health. CLIMATICAT addresses the impacts of climate on the health of the Catalan population, focusing on mental health. We address this topic by integrating different kinds of data: temperature, air pollution, geographic movement, and health (diagnoses, exacerbations, deaths). Our analyses will lead...
The INSPEnCaT project aims:
- To develop a regional climate-chemistry modeling system in order.
- To assess this impact of climate change on air pollution in Catalonia with respect to other European regions.
- To quantify the associated effect on policy-related metrics for human and vegetation exposure, and corresponding...
The ICEBERG project has a two-fold aim: to comprehensively assess sources, types, distributions and impacts of pollution in combination with chronic climate-induced stressors on ecosystems and communities in the European Arctic's land-ocean continuum using a One Health approach, and to develop strategies for enhancing community-led resilience, as well as pollution-control...
Cloud, aerosols and their interactions are key regulators of climate. However, uncertainties in the magnitude of the net cooling impact of aerosols on climate and in the cloud response to evolving anthropogenic emissions and climate change induced feedbacks on natural emissions are major challenges that limit our understanding of how global and regional climate, including...
The European Union's flagship Space programme Copernicus provides a key service to the European society, turning investments inspace-infrastructure into high-quality information products.
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS, https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu) exploits the information content of Earth-Observation data to monitor the...
AI4Deunk aims to develop 4 human-centered AI-powered interfaces: a web plug-in, a collaborative platform, a smartphone app, andan AR interface. All these solutions will be built upon a "debunking" API.
To develop such an API, AI4Debunk will focus on 2 peculiar disinformation topics: the war in Ukraine and disinformation related toclimate change. By...
Natural hazards, such as extreme weather events, are exacerbated by climate change. As a result, emergency responses are becoming more protracted, expensive, frequent, and stretching limited available resources. This is especially apparent in rapidly warming regions. MedEWSa addresses these challenges by providing novel solutions to ensure timely, precise, and actionable...
The aim of the BOREAS project is to blend knowledge from climate predictions and projections to make the Spanish energy sector more resilient to climate variability and climate change, hence contributing to the better management of the current climate and energy crises.
Spain has the objective to reach climate neutrality by 2050, which is part of the...
