Publication of the Belgian climate projections

*** The event is fully booked *** 

The event aims to present how the Belgian climate model projections and climate change impact indicators will be centralized and freely accessible through the federal geodata portal. 

In complement to existing international projections, these Belgian climate projections with a high level of temporal and spatial detail are crucial to study climate extremes. The projections follow the emission scenarios or Representative Concentration Pathways as used in the 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and were produced in the context of two former projects (‘CORDEX.be’ and ‘CICADA’).

The Belgian climate projections are currently updated to be in line with the latest emission scenarios from the 6th IPCC Assessment Report. These updated projections are expected to be ready in 2026. In the meantime, this centralized access to the existing projections and impact indicators aims to fulfill the needs of users from the research community, as well as from the policy, public and private sector, mostly linked to adaptation purposes.

The event will be a unique opportunity to connect with the Belgian climate modelling community and with users of climate projections from the research community as well as from the policy, public and private sector.
