  10MEuro: all projects running
   • Societal Transformation in the Face of Climate Change
   • Russian Arctic & Boreal Systems
– 2015 Call for Climate Services : Collaborative Research action on
  Climate Predictability and Inter-regional Linkages (with Belmont
  Forum) approx. 15MEuro: all projects running
   • Drivers and mechanisms linking Poles & Monsoons for societal usefulness
     of climate services
– 2016 ERA-NET COFUND “European Research Area for Climate
  Services” (ERA4CS)
   • Joint transnational co-funded call, with 16 countries and up to 75MEuro:
       – a “cash” topic, supported by 12 RFOs, on co-development for user needs and
         action-oriented projects
       – an “in-kind” topic, supported by 28 RPOs, on institutional integration of the
         research components of national CS
Action Plans - 1
•   Follow up Workshop 6 June / GPC long term strategy (contribution to WP
    2018-2019 and later also 2020 : joint actions with other JPI’s or ERA nets.

•   Development of a new JPI Climate Liaison Strategy: focus on widening
    participation stakeholder engagement (Open Science vision for Europe)

• H2020 call WP 2017
   – ERA-NET COFUND on Climate Services Roadmap: Cross-sector
     impact assessments (evaluation, comparison and integration) – possibly
     in cooperation with Belmont Forum (lead GE)
   – CSA on Widening international cooperation activities on climate
     adaptation and mitigation (lead BE)
•  H2020 WP 2018 – 2019 (2020)
   – both improved cooperation and better alignment with EC and H2020 :
       using co-funding instruments for joint programming (e.g. ERA-Net,
       CSA, etc.) and specific EC instruments (e.g. RIA, IA, PPP, etc.) on
       complementary themes that cannot be supported MS/AC.
Action Plans 2
•   A Multilateral Joint Call for Proposals on Transformations to Sustainability
    (T2S) T2S is a new funding programme for international, transdisciplinary
    projects addressing transformations to sustainability initiated by the Belmont
    Forum and NORFACE network. JPI Climate is involved in this call. Call for
    Outline Proposals is expected to be released in December 2016.
            .

•   Update climate knowledge hub ( CS providers and users) www.climate-
    knowledge-hub.org:Join the ERA4CS network of climate services providers
Action Plans: topics and activities for 2018-20 (to
    be discussed and/or approved at 12th GB meeting
•    Climate Science
       – Next generation of climate science in Europe, Action Group (led by France & UK) -
          Concerning the ocean component of climate, a potential cooperation with JPI Oceans is
          under investigation.
•    Science support to meet SDGs & UN agreements
       – Climate policy impacts on social transformation pathways (incl. very low emission scenarios),
          involving in particular Humanities and Social Sciences.
•    Greenhouse Gas emissions verification (alignment of national programmes and infrastructures)
•    Synergies and trade-off between policies on climate including negative GHG emissions (SDG13)
     and on others SDG environmental policies (e.g. on biodiversity and ecosystem services). A
     potential cooperation with BiodivERsA is foreseen.
•    Disaster risk reduction on key sectors. Climate knowledge synergies are possible with initiatives
     dealing with climate extremes on a given sector, as JPI Water, JPI Urban Europe, JPI FACCE.
•    Integrated regional focus on vulnerable areas in Europe and beyond
•    Quality assessment of climate adaptation policies on vulnerable regions, incl. outside Europe.
     Potential cooperation could be investigated on case by case with appropriate regional initiative,
     e.g. Arctic Science Summit, Art.185 BONUS & PRIMA, EU-Africa STI cooperation, EU-CELAC
     cooperation, etc.
•    In 2017, a suite of Scoping Workshop to contribute to the JPI Climate Scoping Forum will be
     supported by the additional activities of the ERANET for Climate Services (ERA4CS), in close
     cooperation with CSA ClimatEurope, Copernicus Climate Change Services, Climate KIC , the
     European Roadmap for Climate Services and the Belmont Forum
Outreach
•   JPI Climate Guidelines on Open Knowledge

     – to serve the network of research funders and policy makers
       involved in the JPI community.
     – extended version (available at www.jpi-climate.eu) for the
       scientific community and to non-academic stakeholders (e.g.
       practitioners, NGOs, civil society)

•   CIS-climate (+ funding agencies ) is used to inform BE stakeholders
    on the most important JPI activities (e.g. launch of an ERAnet, joint
    calls, …)

•   Researchers often ask us : what is in it for us?
Internationalisation
•   E.C ‘s strategic approach for international cooperation in research
    and innovation
