Climate research
in support of
the Paris Agreement
ESM2025 – Earth system models for the future is a European research project on Earth System modelling that is building a new generation of Earth system models fitted to support the development of mitigation and adaptation strategies in line with the commitments of the Paris Agreement.
Our missions
- 01
A novel generation of Earth System Models to produce an improved set of climate projections
We aim to develop a novel generation of Earth system models tailored to deliver relevant scientific knowledge to support mitigation and adaptation actions contributing to the successful implementation of the Paris Agreement.
Know more - 02
Relevant scientific knowledge for robust and ambitious climate policy–making
Know more
We are co-developing with a panoply of stakeholder communities relevant scientific knowledge and guidance for the design of robust policies to support the societal transformations needed to build a future net-zero carbon and climate change resilient society. - 03
Climate education actions for the next generation of European citizens
We specifically target the younger generations of European citizens by developing educational resources for climate education, aiming at increasing public understanding and support for the societal transformations needed to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.
