The climate services sector in Europe is quite well established. [27] One example in Europe is Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), which provides free and open access to climate data, tools and information used for a variety of purposes. [7] Another example is Participatory Integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA). This is a ...
The Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI), also referred to as Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), is a tool that identifies places that are susceptible to floods and heat-related effects of climate change by combining built, social, and ecological elements. [1] [2] It is also described as a systematic tool to rapidly assess climate change ...
Climate projections are based on emission scenarios. The emission scenarios used by the IPCC and by mainstream climate scientists are largely derived from the predicted demand for fossil fuels, and in our view take insufficient consideration of the constrained emissions that are likely due to the depletion of these fuels.

Historic risk data and 10-day weather forecasts are no longer enough to plan disaster response and decide locations for hospitals, schools, and housing.
PRECIS is a regional climate model (RCM) ported to run on a Linux PC with a simple user interface, so that experiments can easily be set up over any region of the globe. . PRECIS is designed for researchers (with a focus on developing countries) to construct high-resolution climate change scenarios for their region of inter
Working Group I, dealing with the scientific aspects of climate, stated that carbon dioxide remains the most important contributor to anthropogenic forcing of climate change; projections of future global mean temperature change and sea level rise confirm the potential for human activities to alter the Earth's climate to an extent unprecedented in human history; and the long time-scales ...
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a component of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for cybersecurity and infrastructure protection across all levels of government, coordinating cybersecurity programs with U.S. states, and improving the government's cybersecurity protections against private and nation-state hackers.

The YPCCC website also offers tips on how activists and everyday people can communicate more effectively about climate change. [2] YPCCC has collaborated with the George Mason Center for Climate Change Communication to assemble a freely available dataset, which has been used to create interactive partisan climate opinion maps of the United States.
