ExtremeEarth

     · “...Environmental extremes are responsible for thousands of casualties and billions of € in damages in Europe annually. Societal risks associated with many of these extremes are poorly understood in today’s climate – even more so as climate changes. Knowledge gaps arise from the inadequacy of existing models, which are unable to capture key physical processes and hence cannot fully incorporate an expanding palette of observations. ExtremeEarth will deliver the methods needed to achieve a step change in simulation accuracy and data integration, to allow scientists to understand the drivers of extremes and application communities to anticipate their impact. ExtremeEarth will develop the technologies for a required thousand-fold increase in computation, and fundamentally redesign workflows to dynamically expose the full information content of a new generation of models and data to users.”

Friends of the Earth Europe

Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP)

     · “The Institute for European Environmental Policy is a sustainability think tank. Working with

       stakeholders across EU institutions, international bodies, academia, civil society and industry,

       our team of economists, scientists and lawyers produce evidence-based research and policy

       insight. Our work spans nine research areas and covers both short-term policy issues and long-

       term strategic studies. As a not-for-profit organisation with over 40 years of experience, we are

       committed to advancing impact-driven sustainability policy across the EU and the world.”
