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

3 Scope and Vision of JPI CLIMATE

4 Scope and Vision of JPI CLIMATE Promotes joint action in order to tackle the grand societal challenges connected to climate change Provide integrated climate knowledge and decision support services for societal innovation Bridges knowledge production and knowledge application by connecting climate research with policy and decision-making contexts Closes critical knowledge gaps gp by combining and connecting scientific approaches Complements and increases the value of relevant national and EU R&D funding By connecting science and decision making processes, JPI Climate will help to meet the challenge of making European development both climate friendly and climate proof

5 Collaboration increases quality and cost effectiveness Enhanced societal relevance Higher scientific quality Long-term continuity Greater cost-effectiveness Stronger global position

7 Enhancing connectivity Society: connecting scientific insights with the demands of policy makers, decision-makers and other stakeholders Disciplines: connecting different disciplinary approaches in natural and social sciences, Science: connecting top researchers and research groups from different European countries

18 Strategic Research Agenda of JPI CLIMATE overall rationale

19 Strategic Research Agenda of JPI CLIMATE overall rationale Promotes joint research across natural and social sciences within in the realm of climate change and links it to sustainable transformations of society Links climate change research to societal contexts of decision-making on mitigation + adaptation and mainstreaming climate into nonclimate policies and planning Increases the resolution of the physical basis of climate science and connects scales: from global to local and from centuries to seasons Supports the preparation and provision of services to support of concrete decision making questions
