We are excited to launch ACCLIMATE Explained, where our researchers and experts will answer key questions about the project & unpack complex climate issues! To kick things off, who better to introduce the project than Wolfgang Obergassel from @wuppertalinstitut.bsky.social !

A new open-access paper from ACCLIMATE's team is introducing a breakthrough framework to bridge this gap: “IAM-FIRE: A Climate Emulator–Based Framework to Project Wildfire Impacts and Risks for Integrated Assessment Models”. 🔗 Read the full study here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

📍Call for papers - Constructing futures through climate modelling. Submission deadline: 30/6 This special issue invites short communications (up to 3,000 words) on how climate models shape futures, policy, and public debate. More info 👇

📍 The ACCLIMATE Project Meeting and Summer School are officially underway in Paris, hosted by our colleagues at IDDRI! All 20 partners from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas have come together to review our latest scientific results, exchange ideas and map out the next steps!

🎯 How ambitious is the EU’s 2040 climate target? A 90% reduction goal is set to be added to the European Climate Law, but risks remain: below ESABCC advice, carbon credits, weaker review rules and delayed implementation to 2026. Read @oberthuerseb.bsky.social & @katikulovesi.bsky.social's blog👇

I think the most important issue at stake at #COP30 in #Bélem on mitigation is whether the #UNFCCC continues addressing the transitions needed to achieve the mitigation objectives of the #ParisAgreement - or gets forced back into discussing the global emissions gap only in abstract terms
