Consortium
Consortium
ClimaMeter has rapidly expanded into a wider international consortium under Davide Faranda’s coordination. The initial team was formed by Mathieu Vrac, Pascal Yiou & Robert Vautard at IPSL, together with Tommaso Alberti (INGV), Gabriele Messori (UU), and Erika Coppola (ICTP), bringing together scientists from multiple institutions and disciplines to analyze extreme events in real time and place them in the context of climate change.
The Scientific Core Group selects the extreme events to be analysed, performs the studies, writes the reports, and responds to press requests. We are open to collaboration! If you are a climate scientist and wish to join as an external collaborator, please contact us by mail : climameter@lsce.ipsl.fr

The ClimaMeter methodology was developed over several years by the ESTIMR team at LSCE. Davide Faranda, together with Pascal Yiou, Mathieu Vrac, Robert Vautard, Soulivanh Thao , Flavio Pons and Greta Cazzaniga, collectively designed and refined the methods that now underpin ClimaMeter’s functionality. International partners such as Tommaso Alberti , Gabriele Messori, Erika Coppola and greatly contributed to improving the methodology. The communication of ClimaMeter reports is performed in collaboration with the GSCC network and Climate Nexus and together with Patrick Brockmann (IPSL-CEA Saclay)Patrick Brockmann, Andreia Hisi, Yoann Robin, Lia Rapella, Nemo Malhomme, Nada Caud, Stella Bourdin, Camille Cadiou, Lucas Fery, Burak Bulut, Miriam d’Errico, George Miloshevich, Pradeebane Vayttinada, Marion Saint-Lu, Darri Stuber, Greta Cazzaniga (IT/EN/FR)
HorizonEU "CLOSER": The project CLOSER (Close the Loop: Attribution of complex climate disasters to climatic and to policy changes) is a Horizon Europe research project running from 2026 to 2030 and coordinated by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. It brings together fifteen partners across Europe and beyond to build an integrated science of event attribution, forecasting and impact. Working through six real-world Case Applications on four continents, CLOSER develops the methods and data needed to attribute these events and their impacts from local to global scale, and turns this understanding into decision-making frameworks for communities, agencies and policymakers.
MSCA-ITN "CLIMES": CLIMES DN brings together expertise from climate science, hydrology, urban sociology, electrical engineering, data science, epidemiology and more. Doctoral candidates work on research projects that cut across these fields, supported by an internationally-leading supervisory team. CLIMES DN further trains doctoral candidates in transferable and soft skills through tailored network-wide training events. In CLIMES, I'm workpackage leader for the doctoral network training and I'm supervising a PhD thesis devoted to understanding Energy droughts at seasonal and subseasonals scales.
The funding from the French ANR (Agence Nationale de La Recherche) and PEPR (Programmes et Équipements Prioritaires de Recherche) with the projects TASE (Transition, Adaptation et Soutenabilité des Énergies) – PowDev and TRACCS (TRAnsformer la modélisation du Climat pour les Services climatiques) – Extending support the ClimaMeter initiative by reinforcing its scientific methods and extending its scope for the attribution and communication of extreme weather events under climate change.
FutureMed will foster new climate change-related science and synergies serving as a transdisciplinary and integrative platform effectively connecting scientific knowledge on high-impact weather (HIW) events and climate change impacts with stakeholders from priority socio-economic sectors such as energy supply and demand, agriculture, health and migration.
XAIDA brings together experts in artificial intelligence, statistics, and climate modeling. Together, they design new methods and apply them to recent high-impact events to examine their connections with climate change. Together we will design new methods and apply them to recent high-impact events to understand the role of climate change. Further, we will study if such events, or even more-intense ones, will occur in the future. We will collaborate with concerned stakeholders from different sectors to prepare risk assessment and adaptation strategies for extreme weather. Xaida has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101003469.
The CNRS project CROIRE have created a bridge between statistical physics, statistics, dynamical systems theory, and climate science to study high-impact persistent climate events such as heatwaves, cold spells, and cyclones triggered by extremely zonal or blocked conditions in mid-latitudes
EDIPI (european weather Extremes: DrIvers, Predictability and Impacts) is an international consortium aiming to further our holistic understanding of temperature, precipitation (incl. drought) and surface wind extremes over Europe. One of EDIPI’s key goals is to train a cohort of Weather Extreme Experts, who combine a physical understanding of high-impact weather extremes with a practical knowledge of predictability tools and an appreciation of user-relevant information required by the private sector. EDIPI has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant No. 956396.
