REmote Climate Effects and their Impact on European sustainability, Policy and Trade (RECEIPT)

The RECEIPT project develops and implements a novel stakeholder driven storytelling concept that maps representative connections between European socio-economic activities and remote climatic hazards, in order to provide relevant and quantitative information on the European risks from remote global climatic features. 

In particular, RECEIPT has the following key objectives:

• Mapping of global hotspots of remote areas with climate features relevant for Europe, using state-of- the-art climate and climate-impact databases;
• Science-based sectoral storylines co-developed with societal partners, describing the impacts of remote climate change on European food security, the financial sector, international development, commodities and European coastal infrastructure; it's possible to explore the Climate Storylines on the RECEIPT visualiser;
• Assessment of European socio-economic impacts along each of the selected storylines under different future climatic conditions, including high-end climate scenarios;
• A robust synthesis of the storyline results into a pan-European socioeconomic risk assessment focusing on the difference between high-end and moderate climate change conditions;
• Innovative web-based concepts for visualizing potential impacts of remote drivers and mapping risk mitigation options.
