About
This video explores the crucial importance of developing and integrating research institutions to address climate change. By fostering collaboration, sharing data, combining expertise, and advancing forecasting capabilities, we can take a comprehensive approach to the challenges posed by global warming. Strengthened cooperation between research bodies enables us not only to better understand climate dynamics, but also to positively influence outcomes - helping to monitor, mitigate, and prevent natural disasters and the far-reaching impacts of climate change.

Story
Our planet is changing.
Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural hazards such as wildfires, droughts, landslides, and floods.
These challenges threaten human health, economic stability, food security, and biodiversity.
Addressing these risks requires high-quality research with data, tools, and collaboration across borders and scientific fields.
But researchers often face significant challenges.
Finding the data, accessing the right facilities or computing resources, or data integration challenges - these are just some of the barriers standing in the way.
Data silos and fragmented resources hinder comprehensive analysis, making it harder for scientists to piece together the full picture of climate risks.
Research Infrastructures (RIs) are essential for advancing climate science.
But most research Infrastructures focus on specific disciplines - atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, health or social sciences - making it difficult to respond to complex climate risks. IRISCC is changing this by uniting 14 leading European Research Infrastructures, offering a unique platform to integrate data, services, and expertise from across Europe.
Through IRISCC, users gain access to state-of-the-art observational platforms, experimental facilities, data, modeling tools, and digital infrastructures - all designed to support high-impact climate research and solutions.
How does it work? The IRISCC user journey is simple:
1. Identify a research need or idea related to climate risk.
2. Explore the IRISCC Catalogue of Services to find the right tools & resources.
3. Apply for access through one of our Transnational (TA) or Virtual Access (VA) calls.
4. Use IRISCC services to conduct research, analyse data, and test solutions.
5. Translate research findings into knowledge that helps to predict, mitigate, and adapt to these risks.
