SPARCCLE: Socioeconomic Pathways, Adaptation, and Resilience to a Changing CLimate in Europe
SPARCCLE will establish new methodological frameworks to link knowledge across disciplines from research communities working on climate impacts and risk in Europe.
SPARCCLE will establish new methodological frameworks to link knowledge across disciplines from research communities working on climate impacts and risk in Europe. Bottom-up assessments of multidimensional climate vulnerabilities, risks, damages and adaptation will be combined with top-down integrated assessment frameworks (IAFs) and leading multi-sectoral macro-economic models.
This will deliver new, cutting-edge European capabilities to identify the characteristics of both sectoral and systems-level transformations required for climate-resilient and just development that reduces socioeconomic risks for Europe related to both sudden extreme events and slow onset processes.
The main goals of SPARCCLE are:
- Accelerate new probabilistic emulators of climate hazards, damages and risks, incorporating cross-sectoral interactions, spillovers, monetization of climate impacts.
- Develop granular socioeconomic projections, including gender and socioeconomic heterogeneities and multidimensional vulnerabilities informed by empirical assessment.
- Develop insights on mitigation-adaptation synergies and trade-offs, sectoral risks, and provide region-specific recommendations on short and long term climate policy responses, considering energy security and import dependence.
- Co-creation with public and private stakeholders through knowledge transfer, capacity building activities, and open science.
- Co-design stress-test scenarios that exploring socioeconomic climate risks with stakeholders and policymakers, including sectoral stress tests.
