IRISCC is building a bridge between existing environmental research infrastructures and the critical need for actionable solutions in climate change risk research.
Demonstrators

Why are Demonstrators Important?
- Tailored Solutions: They create value-added services that directly address specific climate risk areas.
- Improved User Experience: Demonstrators make sophisticated data and analysis tools more accessible to researchers and decision-makers.
- Building the Future: The insights gained from these projects will guide the development of a sustainable and scalable service portfolio within IRISCC.
Demonstrator 1: Risk on human health in urban areas during heatwaves associated with deteriorated air quality
Combines health and air-quality data to protect human well-being in European cities. Supports construction and real estate planning to design healthier, climate-resilient urban environments.
Demonstrator 3: Risk on terrestrial ecosystems functioning and services due to droughts and heatwaves
Links water and carbon cycles to forecast ecosystem responses. Informs agriculture and forestry industries, while helping authorities secure food production and ecosystem services.
Demonstrator 4: Risk on marine ecosystems biodiversity, functioning and services caused by ocean acidification, warming and deoxygenation
Assesses impacts on marine ecosystems critical to biodiversity. Supports the blue economy (fisheries, aquaculture, shipping) in adapting to changing ocean conditions.
Demonstrator 6: Risk on multiple systems (human health, environmental matrices, and socio-economic sectors) due to wildfires in Europe
Provides near-real-time monitoring of wildfire plumes for emergency services. Supports forestry, insurance, and energy sectors in managing risks and protecting communities.
