Climate extremes have multifarious socio-economic impacts. Gaining a detailed understanding of these is essential for building a resilient society, yet is not easily realized.
Limitations in impact databases and the complex socio-physical feedbacks underlying the genesis of impacts pose a formidable challenge to current analysis techniques.The Centre of excellence on Impacts of Climate Extremes under global change (ICE) commits to overcoming this challenge.
ICE will build a new interdisciplinary research field bridging the physical, medical, social and engineering sciences, provide training opportunities and support societal response to climate extremes.
ICE focuses on three overarching themes over a 5-year period: improving databases of impacts of climate extremes; using these to better understand the physical and societal interplays determining the impacts of an extreme; and building policy-actionable scenarios of impacts of future extremes.ICE promotes excellence in science by seamlessly combining interdisciplinary methodological and conceptual innovations and coordinating an international exchange program.
These will boost Sweden’s visibility and competitiveness in the study of impacts of climate extremes. Excellence in training is pursued by a synergistic offer of master´s courses and a doctoral graduate school.
Excellence in supporting societal response is promoted through policy-actionable research outputs developed together with public and industry stakeholders.
