G20 Climate Risk Atlas: Impacts, policy, economics
The Climate Risk Altas are now available: 20 countries, 11 factsheets, for a comprehensive picture of the historical trends and future changes in climate.
The factsheets, designed with a mix of infographics, maps, and short descriptions, shed light on the risks faced by each
country, using a clear and functional structure, with novel communication of climate risks at different levels and for different audiences.

Information session on the EU Mission Adaptation to Climate Change
Last September, the EU launched a Mission to foster Europe’s resilience to climate change at individual, city and regional level, in both the public and private sector.
The Mission Adaptation to Climate Change will help prepare for unavoidable climate impacts and accelerate Europe’s transformation into a climate-resilient continent.
Rooted in research and innovation, the mission has set concrete objectives for a common effort and will deliver tangible solutions for Europeans. The aim is to support at least 150 European regions and communities to move towards climate resilience by 2030. To achieve this, we will help regions better understand, prepare for and manage their climate risks and opportunities, support innovative climate resilience solutions and help them source additional investments.
On 23 November, from 14:30 – 16:00, Clara de la Torre, Mission Manager, will be joined by John Bell (Deputy Mission Manager) and Dirk Beckers (Director of the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency CINEA) to present the concept and implementation mechanisms of the Mission, and explain how the regions can engage in the process. This will be followed by a Questions and Answers session via SLI.DO.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue for the Journal of Choice Modelling (JOCM): Informing decisions about climate change adaptation by choice modelling
As it becomes more and more unlikely to limit global warming to 2°C or less, as agreed in the Paris Agreement, the importance of adaptation and the challenges associated with selecting cost-effective and suitable adaptation options are coming to the fore. Further, recent events such as heatwaves, flooding and forest fires indicate that adaption to climate change is more urgent worldwide than previously thought.
Adaptation requires trade-offs from those affected and involves many stakeholders, i.e., a broad variety of public and private institutions. Choosing specific adaptation measures or strategies goes hand in hand with sacrificing other objectives. This special issue has two objectives: On the one hand, we seek methodological contributions to choice modelling that present innovative applications in the field of climate change adaptation. On the other hand, we target case studies – employing, for example, revealed or stated preference data or using Big Data – to demonstrate how the results of choice modelling can inform decision-making about the trade-offs societies will face in the future.
As climate change affects all spheres of society, contributions from all areas – agriculture, environment, energy, health, infrastructure, tourism, or transportation, to name but a few - are welcome. Moreover, applications concerned with migration or social adaptation processes such as adaptation to heat stress by shifting working hours or the recent trend towards working from home, are also of interest if they are related to climate change adaptation.
