| Summary: | Poster on WP5 case studies of the Blue-Action project: in Blue-Action a set of five case studies bring scientists together with stakeholders and often small and medium enteprises to co-develop products that “translate” the model outputs and improved modelling skill developed in WPs 1-4 into societal- and sector-relevant products. The value of these products to both stakeholders and end-users will be quantified, preferably in financial terms where possible. The case studies address the following sectors: Winter tourism centers in Northern Finland Temperature-related human mortality in European regions Extreme weather risks to maritime activities Climate services for marine fisheries Yamal 2040: Scenarios for the Russian Arctic Each case study follows a broadly similar pattern, involving: identification of end-user/stakeholder requirements development of products evaluation and valuation of products and the increased skill delivered by Blue Action and dissemination of results More can be read here: http://blue-action.eu/index.php?id=4662 This poster has been updated for the workshop "Climate services at work, Projects exchange and networking lab", held in Brussels, 29 -30 November 2017 - CDMA building. Organiser: European Commission More about this workshop: Through climate services, the best (climate) science serves the need of a wide range of users - from public authorities to business to citizens - to factor in the climate signal in their decisions, in order to minimize risks and seize possible opportunities. That is why the use of climate services can play a crucial role for the transition to a low carbon economy and to a more informed, resilient society, and support the implementation of the Paris Agreement. This makes user-driven climate services and the emergence of a related market a key research and innovation priority identified by the EU and supported through a number of funding programmes and initiatives. This vision, which has been pinpointed in the European research and innovation roadmap for climate services, is being turned into action also through a new wave of project activities - recently started or in pipeline to kick-off – which promise to deliver added value to the decision making and planning processes they address. The objectives of this event organized by Executive Agency for SMEs (EASME) in cooperation with JPI-Climate are: to bring together participants in climate services projects (mainly from Horizon 2020 and JPI-Climate ERA4CS); facilitate exchange and discussions on topics of mutual interest; enable the individual projects to position themselves and identifying synergies and cooperation opportunities with other projects; allow (perspective) users and stakeholders to get a snapshot of what is going on in the field; help identify activities and means to maximize the projects' impact and outreach and contribute towards increased coordination, complementarity and visibility of project activities. : Blue-Action: Arctic Impact on Weather and Climate is a Research and Innovation action (RIA) funded by the Horizon 2020 Work programme topics addressed: BG-10-2016 Impact of Arctic changes on the weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere. Start date: 1 December 2016. End date: 1 March 2021. We support Blue Growth! Visit us on: www.blue-action.eu Follow us on Twitter: @BG10Blueaction |
