The Climateurope2 Webstival will take place on 19 and 20 September 2024. This virtual event will provide a platform for exchange on the development, use and quality of climate services and their importance for innovation and policymaking. The Webstival ties in with the 2022 and 2023 editions and will once again address topics relevant to the application of climate services. Registration for the Webstival is still open. Take the opportunity to participate in exciting discussions on the future of climate services.

The future of climate services depends on your input! The EU project Climateurope2 is working to improve the development and quality standards of climate services to ensure they are trustworthy and effective. Dr. Grit Martinez of Ecologic Institute invites you to take part in an important survey that will help guide this effort. By sharing your insights, you can contribute to the creation of standardisation procedures for climate services that support both adaptation and mitigation efforts. Take the survey now and help shape a more sustainable future!

Organized by the Euro-Mediterranean Climate Change Center (CMCC) in close collaboration with the EU Climate Change Adaptation Mission, the European project Climateurope2 celebrated a festival uniting science, services and standards for a climate resilient future from 11 to 13 March 2024. Dr. Grit Martinez of Ecologic Institute contributed to the festival with a set of activities spanning from facilitation of fishbowl discussion and break out groups with practitioners to an interview with the media team of Climateurope2. Climateurope2 team wishes to thank all participants for actively participating in the Climateurope2 Festival. The insightful discussions, presentations and debates that took place over the three days of the event laid the basis for fostering new connections within the European climate services community.

Climateurope2 is a 4.5-year Horizon Europe project that addresses the need for timely delivery and effective use of climate information. The project aims to support the climate services community and propose standardisation procedures for future equitable and quality-assured climate services, useful for decision making in all sectors of society.
