For Decision and Policymakers

ESM2025 is building the next generation of Earth System Models and Integrated Assessment Models tailored to inform mitigation strategies in support of achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement.

ESM2025 will foster a science-policy knowledge exchange to inform the implementation of the Paris Agreement and contribute to the advancement of European leadership in climate science.

 

PROJECT STRUCTURE

The structure of the project has been designed logically, from fundamental research (component development, process parameterisation, couplings) to interactions with the integrated assessment modeling community, and to outreach and knowledge exchange. Project activities are divided into 4 main work areas (Core Themes – CTs) ranging from scientific activities (CT1, CT2, CT3) to knowledge exchange and outreach (CT4).

Project team

ESM2025 relies on an international team of 19 European institutes and an Australian university. The team is composed of Earth system scientists and model developers, experts in machine learning for ESM analysis and data-driven hybrid modelling, model evaluation and feedback analysis, as well as specialists in climate education and science-policy dialogue.
