  1. Horizon 2020DG Climate Action policy perspective on Societal Challenge 5

  2. The Objective • "…to achieve … stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere that would prevent interference with the climate system…within a time frame sufficient to allow ecosystems to adapt naturally to climate change, to ensure that food production is not threatened and to enable economic development to proceed in a sustainable manner." • Article 2, • UN Framework Convention on Climate Change

  3. International activities • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) • Understanding of the state of the climate, impacts, and mitigation and adaptation options • Climate change negotiations (UNFCCC) • Internationally-agreed aim to keep global average temperature rise below 2°C above pre-industrial levels • Mitigation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions • Regional impacts and adaptation • Finance and technology transfer

  4. Essential elements • Better understanding of the climate system and the impacts of climate change (global, regional) • Multi- and inter-disciplinary research (joining up communities) • Improved tools for evaluating benefits and costs of different pathways • International engagement for a common understanding and increased uptake • Integrated approach and links to sustainable development

  5. Joining forces & networking • Joint Programming Initiative on climate research • Partners in key third countries • Knowledge and Innovation Community under the European Institute of Technology (Climate-KIC)

  6. Climate change

  7. Climatechangeissuesare also addressed in otherpartsof the Work Programme, e.g. Challenge 2: adaptation to climatechange in agriculture, forestry, marine Challenge 3: low-carbonenergy Challenge 4: decarbonisationoftransport Challenge 7: extreme weatherevents EIT: Climate-KIC RiskFinance: SME 'climatewindow'

  8. Horizon 2020 Mainstreaming • 35% of the total budget to contribute to climate targets • Part of the agreement that 20% of the 2014-2020 EU budget should have a positive climate impact • Methodology for expenditure tracking based on Rio markers: 0%, 40% or 100%
