NEVERMORE (New Enabling Visions and tools for End-useRs and stakeholders thanks to a common MOdeling appRoach towards a climatE neutral and resilient society) is a 4-year project funded by the EU determined to support excellence in research on climate science and climate policies. The NEVERMORE project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme, aims to develop integrated models and tools for simulating and assessing the impacts and risks of climate change, as well as to realise new interactive digital tools useful for citizens and policy-makers to learn about future scenarios and to make mitigation and adaptation policies more effective. Within this scenario, Stakeholder Councils at the local and transnational levels are established in five case study areas to ensure the active involvement of public and private actors in the co-design, co-creation and co-assessment of activities based on social innovation
The 5 actions of the NEVERMORE project in a nutshell:
- ADVANCING on interdisciplinary co-production of knowledge with the participation of stakeholders in climate science and policy making.
- EVALUATING climate change impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities from global to EU, national, and local scales, and adaptation and mitigation strategies.
- SUPPORTING policy-makers in decision-making to tackle climate change and promote the necessary societal transformations by delivering user-friendly tools tailored to their needs.
- INFORMING stakeholders and end-users (citizens, policy-makers, investors, consultancies, associations, NGOs, renewable energy companies, land-owners, farmers, etc.) on the societal transition by increasing their knowledge and attention on climate change and providing a better understanding of its effects and future scenarios.
- UPTAKING the NEVERMORE research outputs to promote international cooperation (e.g. through the dissemination of the project to the Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy or The European Climate Adaptation Platform – Climate ADAPT), create partnerships with researchers, stakeholders and end-users, and build the capacity for coordinated global climate action in line with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
