This call aims to support the generation of scientifically robust climate projections to aid decision-makers and institutions in accessing timely and accurate climate information. Projects funded under this call are expected to improve the understanding of climate change impacts, risks, and implications of various temperature overshoot scenarios. A coordinated European research community will enhance contributions to the IPCC and other major scientific initiatives, supporting global, European, and national climate efforts.
The projects should address the need for accurate, reliable, and actionable climate information at global to local scales, for various time horizons. This includes generating future global climate projections using state-of-the-art Earth System Models (ESMs), designed to meet policy demands and to support the IPCC assessments, including the Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) and later ones. Actions should also design simulations considering socio-economic scenarios from the most up-to-date Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), including greenhouse gas emission pathways based on various societal choices.
Furthermore, projects should explore the impacts of global warming overshoot on the Earth system and the feasibility of bringing global temperatures down sustainably after an overshoot. Coordination between international programmes like IAMC, CMIP, CORDEX, and ISIMIP is expected to enhance outcomes and better respond to policy needs.
Actions should also improve the existing infrastructure landscape to support the delivery of global and regional climate projections, building on the legacy of previous EU projects. Funded projects are encouraged to collaborate, network, and share results to maximise complementarities.

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.
Expected Outcome
• Institutions can access timely and robust climate projections; decision-makers and society better understand impacts and risks of temperature overshoot pathways; European research community provides coordinated contributions to IPCC and other initiatives; international programmes are better coordinated with consistent outcomes responding to policy needs; European contributions are supported by an improved and interconnected infrastructure.
Scope
• Generate future global climate projections with state-of-the-art Earth System Models (ESMs); design climate simulations considering socio-economic scenarios from the latest Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs); deliver scenarios with different levels and durations of warming overshoot; update and coordinate data sets underpinning various climate science communities; design a framework to coordinate global and regional climate projections; improve existing infrastructure to support projections and analysis.
