climes

The Swedish Centre for Impacts of Climate Extremes (climes) is a research and training platform building an interdisciplinary field on how climate extremes affect people, ecosystems and infrastructure in a changing world. The Centre brings together physical, medical, social and engineering sciences—disciplines rarely combined—to advance knowledge, shape the Swedish research landscape and strengthen societal resilience. Our work centres on three themes: compiling high-quality data on the impacts of climate extremes; analysing the physical–societal interactions that drive consequences; and developing policy-actionable scenarios to prepare for future extremes.
