IRISCC Consortium

Our partners contribute a wealth of expertise, resources, and diverse perspectives, enriching our work and maximising our collective impact.

The IRISCC consortium brings together the main research infrastructures providing climate change risks related services in Europe. The RIs have the maturity and operational capacity required to provide climate change risk services and further integrate their services into cross-RI climate change risk services for various user communities. A high technical maturity level of the participating RIs will ease the effort to provide a sustainable offer of services beyond the duration of the project responding to R&I and societal needs, incl. EU partnerships, Missions, and Horizon Europe Pillar II clusters.

The RIs within IRISCC are grouped based on their areas of expertise to tackle various aspects of climate change risks: 

  • Natural Hazards: Several RIs focus on observing and modeling Earth’s systems, providing data and tools to study slow-onset processes and extreme events related to natural hazards. 
  • Indirect Hazards: Other RIs address indirect hazards like wildfires, landslides, and disease outbreaks, offering services and data relevant to these threats. 
  • Marine and Terrestrial Ecosystems: RIs specialising in marine and terrestrial ecosystems provide access to experimental platforms and long-term observation data to understand how these systems are impacted by climate change. 
  • Human Health: Specific RIs concentrate on climate change’s impact on human health, offering expertise on exposure to chemical toxins, pollutants, and air quality. 
  • Socio-economic Impacts: RIs contribute data and expertise on the societal and socio-ecological consequences of climate change risks.
