Deadline: 14-Sep-21
European Commission is calling for proposals for a Better Understanding of the Interactions between Climate Change Impacts and Risks, Mitigation and Adaptation Options.
Scope
- Actions should deliver progress in integrating the analysis of the impacts and risks of climate change, mitigation pathways and adaptation strategies into a single framework to help understand and quantify their numerous interactions.
- Progress is needed to better reflect the economic damages and reduced well-being due to climate change in mitigation pathway analysis. Actions should integrate state of the art climate science stemming from Earth System Models, Reduced Complexity Models and similar into a common integrated assessment framework.
- This could include climate change impacts, biodiversity and ecological considerations, Earth system feedbacks and extreme events, and their interaction with mitigation pathways.
Funding Information
Grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000 except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to some of the following expected outcomes:
- Enhanced understanding, supported by quantitative and qualitative analysis, of the interaction, complementarity and trade-offs between adaptation and mitigation measures and policies helping to overcome the silo approach within and between them and leading to more effective climate action policies.
- Better knowledge about the risk and impacts of climate change and their interaction with mitigation pathways, including their feasibility across various scenarios of global warming.
- Enhanced legitimacy and robustness of integrated assessment frameworks based on more realistic representation of climate processes and their impacts.
- Contribution to enhanced collaboration among Working Groups I, II, and III of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
- Support and interaction with the activities of Horizon Europe Mission “Adaptation to climate change including societal transformation”.
Eligibility Criteria
- Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisations (including international European research organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not), provided that the conditions laid down in the Horizon Europe Regulation have been met, along with any other conditions laid down in the specific call topic.
- A ‘legal entity’ means any natural or legal person created and recognised as such under national law, EU law or international law, which has legal personality and which may, acting in its own name, exercise rights and be subject to obligations, or an entity without legal personality.
- To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions;
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States;
- eligible non-EU countries:
- countries associated to Horizon Europe
- low- and middle-income countries.
