Local climate change projections
We design tools to simulate expected changes in future climate and assess how they may affect us through risk and vulnerability analysis.
About the project
AGROecología para la lucha contra el cambio CLIMático y la variabilidad EXtrema or AGROCLIMEX is a study funded by the call for research projects for non-profit foundations granted by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge during the year 2022.
Objectives
AGROCLIMEX aims to:
- Analyze the possibility of generating early warnings through the integration of extreme weather forecasts and future climate characterization.
- Define climate risk thresholds designed on the basis of indicators specifically defined for each of the selected case studies. Local climate projections generated using a two-step statistical downscaling methodology developed by the FIC (Ribalaygua et al., 2013) applied to climate models belonging to the sixth IPCC report are used for this purpose.
Funded by
Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge through grants to third-sector entities or non-governmental organizations that carry out activities of general interest considered to be of social interest in the field of scientific and technical research and environmental protection under state jurisdiction. This research has been funded by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge but does not express its opinion.
