A calendar of international conferences, workshops, seminars, and all kinds of event related to Climateurope activities and topics: Climate Services, Climate Observation, and Earth-System modeling
Are you working on or interested in climate adaptation issues? Are you looking for information about past, current and future climate? The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) User Learning Services organise a free training event in your country on how to use the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS) platform and its content to support your climate change impact assessments. The training programme combines two days online learning and a day face-to-face session.
The future of Europe is uncertain: on top of political and financial troubles come increasing climate risks. The success of implementing the Paris Agreement is up in the air; yet even with a 2°C temperature rise there will be great adaptation needs. Extreme weather events are projected to increase in strength and frequency, and be unequally distributed across the continent. Climate change is expected to further increase migration flows.
Presenter:
Ms. Robin Hamaker-Taylor – Policy and risk analyst – Acclimatise
Discussant:
Dr. Adriaan Perrels – Research Professor at Finnish Meteorological Institute
Moderator:
Dr. Jaroslav Mysiak – CMCC, Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change – RAAS Division
ABSTRACT:
Despite growing data collection and a growing climate service market, uptake and use of climate data and information has largely lagged behind expectations. The EU-MACS project assesses the obstacles and mechanisms that affect the uptake of climate services in EU Member States, with special reference to finance, tourism and urban planning. This webinar presents results from engagement with the finance sector in the EU-MACS project.
In EU-MACs’ engagement with the finance sector, two different worlds meet: climate services and financial services. The finance sector and climate service providers are both highly technical and data-driven though operate in vastly different spaces, each with their own expertise and jargon.
Climate experts, for example, are still discovering how risks are approached in the financial sector.
This webinar seeks to help in bridging this gap by offering mutual insight for each group. Both structural and operational obstacles and drivers for climate service uptake in the finance sector will be reviewed. Current use of climate services, as encountered in the study, will then round out the discussion to allow for both climate service users and providers to further gain insight.

“Are we – scientists and engineers – ready to deliver CCUS for large scale deployment? What are the challenges and hurdles towards implementation? What are the technical solutions and scientific breakthroughs emerged or about to emerge? We will discuss these questions and many more in an interdisciplinary framework at the 2019 Gordon Research Conference on CCUS (the third of a series), where participants junior and senior will be stimulated by the highly interactive atmosphere typical of the GRCs and inspired by the natural landscape surrounding the conference venue, for the first time in Europe.”
The Fifth JCOMM “Workshop on Advances in Marine Climatology” (CLIMAR-5) will be held in Hamburg, Germany, from 6-8 May 2019.
In conjunction with the In Situ Wind Workshop on 9 May 2019, the meeting aims to build on the outcomes of the four previous CLIMAR workshops and on the outcomes of the alternating and closely related “Advances in the Use of Historical Marine Climate Data” (MARCDAT) workshops. All these workshops have brought together a wide spectrum of marine data users and managers of marine data and products.
Invited and contributed presentations will explore recent advances in marine climatology and its applications, covering meteorological and oceanographic aspects.
Participation is invited and anticipated from a wide range of professionals involved in the fields of applications of marine climatology, climatological data archival and retrieval, climate research including modeling, and users of marine climate data and products.
Organization and Sponsors
The Workshop is being organized jointly by Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and JCOMM.
Ocean scientists, ocean observation specialists, industry representatives, service providers and users of ocean data & products from across the local, national & international operational oceanography community will gather in Halifax for the GODAE OceanView Symposium, OceanPredict ‘19.
The event will present high-level speakers providing expert insight into the latest ocean research & development efforts, products and services and applications, and offers participants to engage in special science splinter meetings, poster sessions, booth exhibitions and discussions to explore and define the direction of future operational oceanography.
