Project Details

Description

The Swedish Centre of excellence on Impacts of Climate Extremes (Climes) commits to overcoming this challenge. Climes will build a new interdisciplinary research field bridging the physical, medical, social and engineering sciences, provide training opportunities and support societal response to climate extremes. Climes focuses on three overarching themes over a 5-year period: improving databases of impacts of climate extremes; using these to better understand the physical and societal interplays determining the impacts of an extreme; and building policy-actionable scenarios of impacts of future extremes.
