Chapter 12 : Climate change information for regional impact and for risk assessment
Climate services development
Society needs are numerous when facing climate change. A number of industry and public decision makers are considering climate change for their risk management plans. For instance centennial extreme events may not be centennial anymore and historical observations are often outdated to design future plans or even to estimate current risks. We develop an approach mixing observations and climate projections in order to taylor data for planning. An example is the preparation of model projections for energy mix scenario design. Projections, correctly calibrated with observations, can be used to identify critical future situations for more renewable-energy intensive energy mixes.
Such an approach is largely using data provided by the Copernicus Climate Change Service. We are also participating in building the C3S through several contracts.
Regional climate and energy modeling
How will European climate affect the weather and its variability in a few decades? How will this interact with energy transition need? This is one of the main question I want to address. This requires models that simulate the earth system, such as the IPSL global model, together with models downscaling both the climate and the impacts of its variability and changes at a much smaller scale. In particular I have been addressing the impacts of climate change on renewable energy sources. In order to fully understand this I have conducted projects and studies leading to a chain of models enabling investigation of the impacts of climate change on regional weather, renewable energy systems and also other factors affecting health such as pollens.
Through the ongoing CLIM4ENERGY Copernicus C3S project, results of this research is provided as a demonstration of climate services.
Extreme events in the context of climate change
Another aspect of understanding climate change is through current climate. How does human-induced climate change affect the extreme events we are witnessing? We have developed methods to quantitatively investigate this questions. These methods involve mathematics, climate science and modeling. Through several projects (EUCLEIA, EXTREMOSCOPE) our findings based on recnet cases show a general trend of heat wave and heavy precipitation events to have increased probabilities relative to a climate that "might have been without influence". The decription of such a pristine climate remains a challenge and an anchor to understanding future changes and adaptation to bring.
