NEVERMORE ACTIONS

NEVERMORE acknowledges that policy-makers and civil society must spearhead climate action and should be the main recipients of scientific knowledge, and puts them at the core of climate change action for:

ADVANCING on interdisciplinary co-production of knowledge with the participation of stakeholders in climate science and policy making. On the path toward climate neutrality and climate resilience, the development of integrated methods is necessary to support decision-making in the transition to the necessary transformation pathways (e.g. energy, society, etc.).

Therefore, among the actions we undertake is the ADVANCE on interdisciplinary co-production of knowledge with the participation of stakeholders in climate science and policy by:

• Downscaling algorithms for climate data
• Cross-sectoral methodology for modelling CC impacts, risks, A&M effects
• Open-source-code IAM

EVALUATING climate change impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities from global to EU, national, and local scales, and adaptation and mitigation strategies. The NEVERMORE integrated common assessment framework will be the backbone for evaluating climate change impacts, risks and vulnerabilities from global to EU, national and local scales, and adaptation and mitigation strategies in a robust, reliable, detailed and transparent way.

It will be validated in the five case studies through: 

• KPI Panel consistent across scales
• Catalogue explorer of A&M strategies

SUPPORTING policy-makers in decision-making to tackle climate change and promote the necessary societal transformations by delivering user-friendly tools tailored to their needs.

SUPPORTING climate-policy assessment:

• Integrated common assessment framework
• 6 Policy briefs (technical and policy recommendations)
• NEVERMORE ICT toolkit:
a) EU Scale tool
b) Case Study tool
c) Gamification tools

INFORMING stakeholders and end-users (citizens, policy-makers, investors, consultancies, associations, NGOs, renewable energy companies, land-owners, farmers, etc.) on the societal transition by increasing their knowledge and attention on climate change and providing a better understanding of its effects and future scenarios.

INFORMING on CC impacts, risks and vulnerabilities at different scales and under different scenarios through D&C material tailored to the target groups.

• Knowledge exchanger:
a) Scientific papers 
b) Handbook
c) 2 Insights
d) 5 Joint activities

UPTAKING NEVERMORE research outputs to promote international cooperation (e.g. through the dissemination of the project to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy or The European Climate Adaptation Platform – Climate ADAPT), create partnerships with researchers, stakeholders and end-users, and build the capacity for coordinated global climate action in line with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UPTAKING research outputs:

• Training programme:
a) 1 MOOC
b) 3 EU focused webinars
c) local workshops
