Imagine having a high-tech weather map that doesn't just show rain, but tells you exactly how that rain affects your specific farm or factory over the next decade. It's like a GPS for climate survival, helping local leaders and business owners pick the best path to avoid disasters. Instead of guessing, they use real data to protect their livelihoods from heatwaves and floods.
Regional businesses in Southern Europe lack accessible, granular climate data to make informed investment and adaptation decisions, leaving them vulnerable to wildfires and water shortages.
A generic interface to the C3S Climate Data Store and a set of data-driven hazard and risk assessment services including screening tools for comparing adaptation strategies.
If you are a commercial farm dealing with water shortages and unsustainable farming—this project developed data-driven risk assessment services that help you compare different adaptation strategies to keep your crops viable.
If you are an insurer dealing with increasing wildfires in Southern Europe—this project developed a generic interface to the C3S Climate Data Store that provides high-quality hazard data to better price risk in 5 high-risk regions.
If you are a resort operator in Costa del Sol dealing with climate-driven migration and environmental decay—this project developed decision support services for strategic planning to ensure your business remains sustainable.
Based on available project data, the services primarily rely on open data and open service infrastructure, suggesting a focus on accessibility rather than a commercial price list.
The project creates generic interfaces and tools designed for 5 different Southern European regions, indicating the system is built for regional scaling across diverse geographies.
Based on available project data, the project emphasizes open data and open service infrastructure, though specific licensing for the developed interfaces is not detailed.
The tools are designed to cross-link pan-European data with data sampled locally to improve granularity and validate predictions.
The project period runs from 2023-09-01 to 2026-08-31, with early prototypes already developed during the first phase.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and public entities, with 6 research organizations and 6 'other' entities. Industry representation is very low at only 7% (1 partner), suggesting the project is currently driven by scientific validation rather than commercial market-pull.
