Making Climate Data Actionable: Tailored Products and Tools based on User Needs

Session ID#: 157525

Session Description:
The latest IPCC reports underscore the need for rapid action to mitigate and adapt to climate change. This requires the use of climate data to inform decision-making at all levels of society. To be used effectively, this increasing volume of data needs to be made accessible and available in the formats and scales required by users. There is thus a strong need of having efficient and novel tools to process data in order to generate tailored products, in a FAIR context (Findable Accessible Interoperable Reusable).

We welcome abstracts presenting novel tools and methods that leverage and tailor climate data to a wide variety of end users from diverse communities, including governments and the general public. We also invite contributions on the interaction between researchers and practitioners, on innovative ways to communicate uncertainties of climate predictions and projections, and on state-of-the-art products that help push concrete actions considering the current climate action urgency.
