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
Discover the PROVIDE Climate risk dashboard
Unlock vital data with the PROVIDE Climate risk dashboard, an innovative tool offering local and global climate impact insights tailored for adaptation planners. Watch our new video to learn how this dashboard can enhance your urban and regional climate adaptation strategies.
New Dashboard version and demo video available
A new version of the PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard has been launched! New data on glacier retreat, biodiversity loss and the impacts of heat stress on people in cities has been added. Explore the tool to find out how the climate crisis could affect you.
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.

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.

Explore urban climate futures: launching the PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard
In this virtual launch event, PROVIDE research on urban climate projections for cities will be presented and the new version of the PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard tool demonstrated. This innovative webtool allows practitioners and policy makers to access information on risks of future climate impacts and how to avoid them.
Dashboard demo video
This demo video shows which features and functionalities the PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard offers to its users. It explains how to use this webtool and to explore future climate change impacts and how to avoid them.
Dashboard launch event recording
The new version of the PROVIDE Climate Risk Dashboard tool has been launched end of January 2024. This innovative webtool allows practitioners and policy makers to access information on risks of future climate impacts and how to avoid them.

SRF news interview with PROVIDE researcher Prof. Thomas Frölicher
COP28 just started in Dubai and the WMO released its provisional report on the 2023 climate status. Thomas Frölicher commented in the SRF news.
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)
PROVIDE Webinar Recording: Overshooting 1.5°C: the latest science on the risks and action needed
PROVIDE successfully hosted a webinar on 8th September 2023, looking at climate overshoot. It featured presentations and expert discussion on what the latest science suggests overshoot of 1.5°C could look like, what the implications are for our planet and societies, and how this should inform climate action today.
PROVIDE Webinar: Overshooting 1.5°C: the latest science on the risks and action needed
Climate action is accelerating, but greenhouse gas emissions are yet to peak. This webinar is looking at climate overshoot, will feature presentations and expert discussion on what the latest science suggests overshoot of 1.5°C could look like, what the implications are for our planet and societies, and how this should inform climate action today.
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.

EGU 2023 session highlight: PROVIDE featured in nature geoscience journal
Temporarily overshooting climate targets is a distinct possibility given our current emissions trajectory. It is crucial that we understand which of the associated impacts are reversible, and to what extent.
