Oscar Higuera Roa (IIASA) and colleagues held a systematic literature review that examined recent developments in CRA, focusing on how climate risks are framed and assessed and highlighting challenges and opportunities for future research.
In the latest update of the report, CLIMAAX and its sister project Pathways2Resilience were chosen as case studies of tailored support for regional and local authorities.
The 2025 edition of the EGU General Assembly will take place in Vienna, Austria, from 27 April to 2 May 2025 in a hybrid format. CLIMAAX researchers are participating in four sessions, presenting the project’s work to fellow scientists and experts in the geoscience field.
Project coordinator Frederiek Sperna Weiland (Deltares) presented the CLIMAAX project in the event held in Warsaw on 25-26 March 2025, under the framework of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
On April 9, in Zagreb, Jeremy Pál (CMCC) showcased the Framework and the Toolbox developed by the consortium, concluding his speech with a presentation of the Community of Practice.
Stefan Hochrainer-Stigler (IIASA) and colleagues suggest ways to tackle challenges in managing disasters induced by natural hazards in an integrated and comprehensive manner by applying key concepts from systemic risk research to triple- and multiple-dividend approaches.
The newly selected Regions, that applied for the 2nd and last CLIMAAX call for applications, belong to 19 countries and will receive more than EUR 6,6 million cumulated funding. As a whole, the project will give financial and technical support to 69 Regions in their path to the climate resilience.
The study, authored by Benedetta Sestito (IVM) and colleagues, presents the first dynamic heat vulnerability assessment for Europe, incorporating spatial and temporal dimensions through ordinary least squares regression.
