2. JPI Climate: Point of Departure and Motivation Climate Research in Europe Multitude of players: 562 partners involved in FP7 projects in 2007-2010 Considerable national research contributions: EC-FP7: 141,7 Mio EUR (2007-2010) JPI-NRP: more than 200 Mio EUR per year Predominantly natural-science based Weak link between knowledge production and application (science and decision-makers)

6. Fast Track and Scoping Activities Module 1: Decadal prediction including relevant observation, understanding, processes. Towards a European strategy for climate modelling: coordination and next generation of climate models. Changing cryosphere in the climate system, from observation to climate modelling. Greenhouse gas verification. Module 2: Mapping users’ requirements: What do we know and what not? Mapping climate services providers in Europe. Module 3: Scoping, reviewing and facilitating social science contributions to climate change research. Module 4: Development of science-practice laboratories (with JPI Urban Europe?). Effectiveness of knowledge transfer at the occasion of the publication of the IPCC AR5. Economic research programming Impact modelling intercomparison programme ISI-MIP).

7. Increasing attention to crosscutting issues The assessment of probabilities, risks and consequences of plausible climate futures requires joint learning, synthesis and knowledge exchange across the boundaries between natural and social sciences and between modules. – Integrated socio-economic policy and response analysis. – Integration of observations, models and tools. – Framing of policy and research questions Cross-cutting integration involving all the modules recognises the need for the integration of climate and other relevant knowledge to better inform users’ needs. – Integrated climate services. – Integrated hot-spots or sector studies. – Science-practice laboratories.

8. Implementation Plan Instruments for differential implementation Coordinated Calls and alignment of Existing Activities Joint Calls (first set in 2014, approx. 10MEuro) – Societal Transformation in the Face of Climate Change. – Russian Arctic & Boreal Systems. ERANET – integrating approach across the JPI Climate clusters – ERANET Climate Services under preparation – ERANET climate smart and resilience proposed (with JPI Urban Europe) Joint Research Infrastructure (ESFRI) Joint Knowledge Sharing Activities Sustainability, Adaptability, Stakeholder Orientation, Transparency, Cost Efficiency
