#WorldOzoneDay 🌍 This year’s theme, “From Science to Global Action”, resonates strongly with what we're doing in #SPARCCLE: transforming climate science into strategies for a resilient, just Europe - and beyond. #HorizonEU #Climate #Resilience #Europe

💡How can Europe strengthen resilience in the face of escalating climate impacts? 🇪🇺The new EU factsheet “Climate Resilient Europe” highlights EU-funded projects providing knowledge, tools, and policy-relevant solutions – with #SPARCCLE among them. Find out more 👉 cinea.ec.europa.eu/document/dow...

🔥🔥Wildfires are becoming longer, stronger, and more destructive. A new study in Environmental Research: Climate, co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers, shows that addressing social and economic vulnerability across countries will be a key factor in mitigating the scale of resulting financial damage.

This year’s #WorldPopulationDay highlights declining fertility rates and the wide-ranging impact this trend has on sustainable development. Within the #SPARCCLE project, we are working to better understand these demographic developments by producing sub-national population projections across Europe.

📢A new global study published in Nature - co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers @lukasgudmundsson.bsky.social, @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social and @wimthiery.bsky.social – finds that children born in 2020 will face “unprecedented lifetime exposure” to extreme weather events. 🔗Link in the comments 👇

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊 ❓ Did you know that our oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans? This vital process helps buffer the impacts of global warming, making our oceans essential allies in the fight against climate change. #SPARCCLE #HorizonEU #Climate #Resilience #Europe

A new study published in Nature Climate Change - co-authored by #SPARCCLE researcher @carlschleussner.bsky.social - finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% caused two-thirds of global warming since 1990. 📈 Find out how stark the imbalance is: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Our latest study shows that climate solutions are more effective when #gender equality is part of the equation. On #IWD2025, we take the opportunity to envision different worlds – ones where women have equal opportunities and resources, and others where their rights are backsliding. #LinkInComment

Healthy ecosystems fight climate change by absorbing carbon and regulating temperatures. Yet, climate change threatens them, endangering wildlife and people. As part of the #SPARCCLE project, we identify risks to ecosystems from climate change and develop sustainable land use and forestry pathways.

📢Live from the Lorentz Center! The ‘Adaptation Pathways and Scenarios for Climate Change Research’ workshop is in full swing this week, with discussions on: 🔹 Developing adaptation scenarios 🔹 Integrating adaptation pathways into modelling tools 🔹 Quantifying adaptation-relevant information

Our proud contribution to this #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience is a recent publication "Representing gender inequality in scenarios improves understanding of climate challenges". 👩‍🔬 Read the paper in Nature Climate Change here 👉 trebuchet.public.springernature.app/get_content/...

Have you ever wondered if the global leadership on climate would be less depressing if we had more Luisas and fewer Elons? With gender equality backsliding everywhere, it’s super important to stress its role in addressing the climate crisis. A 🧵 on our new paper on gender equality & scenarios:

Wetlands play a vital role in climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, and freshwater availability – yet we’re losing them at an alarming rate! This #WorldWetlandsDay, let’s raise awareness and take action to protect these valuable ecosystems. #SPARCCLE #Climate #Resilience #Europe

This #WorldSustainableTransportDay, let’s join forces for a sustainable future.🚶🚴🚍 Small actions - like taking public transport, cycling, or walking - can help reduce emissions and make a significant difference in combating climate change. Every journey counts! 🌳

Previous work by SPARCCLE researchers highlighted the increased exposure of younger generations to hazards like heatwaves, drought, wildfires and more - work that will be extended in the SPARCCLE project. This #WorldChildrensDay, let’s act for a climate-resilient future for all.

🚽#WorldToiletDay Reminder❗️ Access to sanitary facilities in widespread in the EU, but rising surface and groundwater pollution remains a significant challenge. With🌡climate change increasing droughts, the challenge is only set to grow. Let's act to protect our water resources!

Emissions continue to rise and so are calls for ‘admitting’ that the temperatures will cross 1.5°C and we should move on E.g. by @glenpeters.bsky.social journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.... This is problematic. Scientifically and even more so ethically. Here is why: 1/
