The Climateurope2 project marks its first year with the launch of its first newsletter. In this brief recap, Francisco Dobles-Reyes and Ángel Muñoz, leading the project’s coordination, share a few words about the efforts that have been made this year on setting the stage to:

• contribute to the quality, legitimacy and salience of climate services both in Europe and beyond, through a set of recommendations for their standardisation;
• identify ways to optimise the always limited resources by offering a meeting place to the climate services community;
• increase the uptake of trustworthy climate services by those vulnerable to climate variability and change; and
• contribute to the current climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.

Three key deliverables during the first 12 months of the project are the co-development of a common glossary of sectoral vocabulary, an analysis of the current landscape of initiatives and standardisation norms and approaches, and a framework for standardisation.
