Climate Change is a complex reality, which affects European society at large. Understanding and responding to climate change requires coordinated and large-scale European efforts, in research, innovation and in governance.
The Joint Programming Initiative “Connecting Climate Knowledge for Europe (JPI Climate)” is a strategic platform for aligning of national research priorities in the area of climate research and for launching joint activities. Its aims are to contribute to a coordinated knowledge development by improving the scientific expertise on climate change and connecting that knowledge to decision-making and link it to eminent political and practical concerns, such as climate risks and adaptation options in climate-vulnerable sectors, mitigation policies or investment strategies and technological innovation.
This is the first official presentation of JPI Climate. Several renowned speakers – including Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action, – the question of how we can effectively tighten the link between science, practice and innovation in climate research.
The presentations and discussions will be followed by a reception.
