The 3rd phase of the Center of Excellence in Simulation of Weather and Climate in Europe has joined the “Climate Research Communication Network” promoted by the European project ESM25.
Since climate science is an active field of research whose findings are constantly feeding our knowledge about the changing climate, future scenarios and possible solutions, the climate research community plays a key role in informing policy- and decision-makers, businesses and society. Hence, climate researchers are frequently urged to engage in climate change dialogues, as they are crucial stakeholders.
There is often a long gap before published research results reach the policy universe and an even longer time before they reach the rest of society. The “Climate Research Communication Network” aims to push climate research communication so that its results are shared faster, more efficiently, and more broadly.
The network comprises Communication Officers, Project Managers, and Stakeholder Engagement leaders from various EU climate research projects and/or research institutions. It aims to increase the impact of each member’s communication by reaching a broader and more diverse audience as well as having a pool of valuable content to share regularly – to keep our social networks active.
Moreover, the network also seeks to create a community of practice to build common knowledge on best practices and to make climate research communication more impactful, as well as to establish a strong presence of the climate research community in communication networks and on social media.
