The Climateurope2 Platform

Climate services are key to building a resilient Europe and supporting society to find ways to mitigate and adapt to climate change. Yet, the field still faces important challenges: limited awareness of the value of climate knowledge for adaptation, insufficient interdisciplinary collaboration, and the absence of widely adopted quality standards. The Climateurope2 Platform has been created to address these needs. It offers a dedicated space to advance towards the standardisation of climate services through knowledge co-production and the support of a strong community. The Platform fosters dialogue, capacity building, and the co-creation and exchange of guidelines, good practices, and useful resources.
The Climateurope2 platform offers four main sections:
- Co-create documents: The Platform enables users to open focused discussions on the standardisation of climate services and their components. By sharing early versions of documents, the climate services community can provide feedback that supports their revision and improvement. This process fosters the co-production of knowledge in line with open science practices and encourages the involvement of all relevant actors, with the ultimate goal of building consensus.
- Explore the library: This section contains final consensuated documents approved for public access with information about good practices, recommendations, vocabularies and standardisation processes for climate services. The platform serves as a valuable knowledge hub for researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders in the climate services value chain.
- Connect with the Network: This section helps build and strengthen an equitable climate services network across Europe and beyond. Users can connect with peers, exchange messages, and explore who is working on what within the climate services landscape.
-
View Analytics: This section features a visual analytics dashboard, a tool for exploring trends and discussions around climate services and other topics of interest. It draws insights from media news, company reports, NGOs, public bodies, and research papers to help users understand the landscape and key topics.
While the visual analytics dashboard and the library section are open to everyone, visitors need to sign up to upload documents, leave comments, and register and contribute to the networking section.
Join our platform to co-create, connect, and shape the conversation on climate services standardisation.
