SUMMARY:Climate Extremes & Societal Risks Final Event
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: As the impacts of clima
te change intensify, the connection between science, risk, and policy
has never been more crucial. Join us for an open and insightful even
ing exploring the state of the climate, the latest science on extreme
weather and risk, and what must be done now to shape resilient and e
vidence-based climate policy.
December 17th, the event will fe
ature keynote presentations from:
- Prof. Dr. Robert
Vautard, Chair of IPCC Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis)<
/li>
- Prof. Dr. Bart van den Hurk, Chair of IPCC Working Group II
(Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability)
- Jenty Kirsch-Wood
, Head Global Risk Analysis and Reporting Section, UNDRR
- Ta
mara Happé, PhD candidate part of project XAIDA
- Sophie Bui
js, PhD candidate part of project MYRIAD
Together, these
presentations will illuminate the pathways from scientific understand
ing to effective climate action. Following the talks, there will be a
mple time for discussion with the audience — including invited jour
nalists, policymakers, scientists and other stakeholders.
Decem
ber 18, the following morning, around 50 scientists — a mix of seni
or and early-career researchers from XAIDA, MYRIAD, and beyond — wi
ll gather for a focused scientific workshop. The program opens with t
wo hours of inspiring overview talks from keynote speakers including:
- 8:30-9:10: Impact Attribution (Paolo Scussolini, VU Ams
terdam)
- 9:10-9:50: Artificial Intelligence and meteorology
(Laure Raynaud, Météo France)
- 9:50-10:30: Other emerging
frontiers in climate risk research (Judith Claassen, MYRIAD)
Bart van den Hurk, Robert Vautard, and Jenty Kirsch-Wood wil
l reflect on the discussions in real time, offering insights from an
IPCC as well disaster risk reduction perspective. The morning conclud
es with poster sessions (10.30-13.00) and informal networking, provid
ing space for collaboration and idea exchange among scientists across
disciplines.
