INVITATION: From drifting to steering – Climate risk management in Europe

INVITATION: From drifting to steering – Climate risk management in Europe

Europe is the fastest warming continent in the world, experiencing rapidly intensifying flooding, drought, fires and heat. As Europe, we are not prepared for what’s ahead.

What can we still avoid with action?
What must change in climate risk management?
How can new risk assessment tools help?

Please join us exploring these very topical questions together with scientists and practitioners, as we navigate the avoidable, unavoidable and irreversible in climate risks management.

Date: 25 October 2024, 10:00–11.30 Helsinki time (9:00–10.30 CEST)
Place: Eurooppasali (Malminkatu 16, Helsinki) and online

PROVIDE Webinar: All that we can save

PROVIDE Webinar: All that we can save

Climate impacts are hitting hard around the world, as communities are struggling to cope with the intensity of flooding, fires and heat. In this webinar, scientists will present new findings on future impacts of climate change we could avoid by reducing our emissions today. There will be a particular focus on heat extremes, species loss, glacier loss and hits to labour productivity. Experts in relevant fields will join a panel discussion to discuss the findings, followed by a Q&A.
3 July 2024, 15:00 – 16:00 CEST

Berlin TV Show Highlights PROVIDE Project Coordinator

Due to the great housing shortage in Berlin, densification between existing buildings is urgently needed. The previous residents often protest because they fear worse living conditions: less space, more heat. How this could be done in a climate-friendly way has now been investigated by PROVIDE partner Climate Analytics.
In conversation with: Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, Climate Analytics

COP28 Cryosphere Pavilion: Why Overshoot Pathways Will Leave the Cryosphere Behind

COP28 Cryosphere Pavilion: Why Overshoot Pathways Will Leave the Cryosphere Behind

On 8 Dec. 2023, 13:00, the PROVIDE side event at the Cryosphere Pavilion at COP28 will showcase research on policy-relevant climate overshoot scenarios, where temperatures would temporarily exceed 1.5°C before being brought back down below 1.5°C at the end of the century. This explores impacts associated with such trajectories, and if, as emissions descend, impacts could be reversed. Adaptation practitioners and civil society members will join for discussion about what overshoot would mean for the cryosphere, and how that could inform climate action today.
Panelists: Prof. Carl-Friedrich Schleussner (Humboldt University Berlin), Dr Fahad Saeed (WCS), Prof. Fabien Maussion (University of Bristol / Innsbruck) and Kaisa Kosonen (Greenpeace)

Policy Maker Workshop: EU Implications of Overshoot Adaptation

Policy Maker Workshop: EU Implications of Overshoot Adaptation

An in-person workshop for EU level policy makers will be held in Brussels on 6 September 2023 to share knowledge on overshoot in the context of adaptation, explore the PROVIDE Overshoot Proofing Methodology, and introduce the Climate Risk Dashboard. Consortium members will be in attendance to lead discussion and take up feedback. If you have interest, or know someone who may be appropriate for these conversations.
