climes

Swedish centre for impacts of climate extremes

An interdisciplinary effort to understand impacts of climate extremes

Climes is a research platform to understand and mitigate the impacts of climate extremes. We bridge the medical, social and engineering sciences and connect them to society.

Upcoming events

What is new?

 

CLIMES DN Kick Off approaching

The kick-off meeting for the CLIMES Doctoral Network is approaching. The event will bring together supervisors, and partners to align on objectives, collaboration structures, and planned activities, marking the formal start of the network and its interdisciplinary work on climate extremes and societal resilience. Recruitment of doctoral students starts soon.

 

New affiliates

We welcome new afiliates of climes. Prof. Giuliano Di Baldassarre (UU), Dr. Louis Delannoy (SRC/SU), Riccardo B. Navarro, Manuel M.O. Nocentini, Markus Simon (KI), and Fan Wang (RISE). Their diverse expertise strengthens our community’s research on climate extremes, resilience, and societal impacts.
 

AI-guided urban greening

Led by Olof Mogren (2024–2027), this project develops an AI- and GIS-based decision-support tool to identify how impervious urban surfaces can be transformed into multifunctional green spaces—strengthening climate resilience, enhancing ecosystem services, and improving urban quality of life.

Discover climes

Climes fosters the next generation of climate researchers through advanced doctoral and postdoctoral training. Our graduate activities link universities, research institutes, and partner networks across Sweden and beyond. We combine scientific excellence with real-world relevance—helping early-career scientists develop the skills, networks, and leadership needed to understand and address climate extremes.

Graduate School & Training

Events

Climes hosts and co-organizes seminars, workshops, and conferences that bring together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share knowledge and spark new collaborations. From thematic meetings to national climate symposia, our events aim to strengthen scientific exchange and support transformative action on climate resilience and adaptation.

Research Hub

The research hub connects climes projects, publications, and data resources in one place. Here you can explore our ongoing research on climate extremes, risk modelling, and societal impacts, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations. The hub highlights how climes researchers contribute to understanding complex climate risks and enabling informed decision-making.

Community and Outreach

Climes engages actively with communities, decision-makers, and the public to bridge science and society. Through outreach initiatives, media engagement, and educational collaborations, we share insights from climate extremes research and co-create pathways toward resilience. Our outreach strengthens mutual learning and supports inclusive responses to climate challenges.
