The underpricing of climate damages in the financial system

Published 6.11.2026

Climate change is no longer a distant threat— it’s a present and intensifying risk to the global financial system. Earlier this year CICERO Center for International Climate Research and Carbon Tracker engaged with financial stakeholders on the underpricing of climate damages in the financial system.

Managing hydrogen emissions is key to maximizing climate benefits as hydrogen use expands

Published 4.6.2026

Current estimates of hydrogen’s climate impact are now sufficiently robust to inform policy and business decision-making, according to researchers in a new review article on the climate impacts of hydrogen emissions.

Separating land carbon uptake from net-zero emissions

Published 19.11.2024

How are net zero emissions defined? It matters. It is the difference between either halting or continuing global warming, writes senior researcher Glen Peters in this blog about a new study published in Nature.

Leading experts to investigate climate impacts of a hydrogen economy in new research project

Published 4.9.2024

Pulling together experts on hydrogen from 12 institutions throughout Europe, HYway, a new research project funded by the European Union sets out to provide an understanding of the climate and environmental risks and co-benefits of a hydrogen economy – and to advise on options for addressing those risks.

Large uncertainty in warming outcomes of current policies and emission pledges

Published 22.11.2021

During the recent Glasgow Climate Conference (COP26) there was a lot of focus on the climate outcomes of new climate policy pledges. A new analysis shows that these outcomes are more uncertain then often assumed.

CN-coESM - Permafrost, wildfire, climate change processes, interactions, and feedbacks: co-development of Earth System Models between China and Norway

Arctic-boreal regions are warming at a much faster rate than the global mean. Arctic-boreal ecosystems combined are the largest reservoirs of terrestrial carbon and have long snow covered seasons. As a result, processes involved in these ecosystems have a high significance for global climate.

BUDGET: Constraining future precipitation changes in Europe and the Arctic from historical observations of the atmospheric energy budget

BUDGET will increase our understanding of the causes to why climate models have such large differences in future Arctic rainfall and summer precipitation in northern Europe. This will be accomplished using satellite data and climate model calculations over the last 40 years. The analyzes will provide knowledge of whether processes related to transport in the atmosphere, evaporation or absorption of radiation are the reasons for different results from the climate models. By using and developing the climate models with most realistic precipitation changes and largescale processes in accordance with ground-based observations and satellite measurements, we can improve estimates of precipitation change and related climate extremes.

PROVIDE: Paris Agreement Overshooting – Reversibility, Climate Impacts and Adaptation Needs

Overshooting the Paris Agreement 1.5°C temperature thresholds is a distinct possibility, but what does such temperature overshoots imply for the planning and design of adaptation action? The PROVIDE project will deliver information on overshoot scenarios and expected impacts and their reversibility, covering both sectors and geographical regions. The information will directly feed into adaptation action.

EPIC - Extreme Precipitation In Cleaner air

In EPIC we are investigating a possible link between changes in air pollution and a trend towards more hazardous extreme precipitation. Our overall goal is to increase our understanding of what controls extreme precipitation and reduce the uncertainty in estimates of future extremes. At this stage of our project, we are analyzing observational data and running cloud models to investigate how heavy precipitation reacts to our particle emissions.

Research groups

Atmospheric Sciences

The research group covers a broad range of topics within the atmospheric sciences. We are primarily a modelling group, studying radiative forcing of the climate system, and the role of gases, aerosols and clouds.

Climate and nature risk

The research group models and analyzes climate impacts on nature, society and the economy, performs scenario analyses, and conducts stress tests based on its knowledge and expertise in using climate and economic models and climate and other environmental data.

Climate Economics

The Climate Economics group is an applied, policy-oriented research team specializing in the design and evaluation of climate policy. The group combines economic modeling, statistical analysis, and behavioural and experimental methods to assess the cost effectiveness, distributional impacts and political feasibility of climate policies.

Climate System

The Climate System group conducts research to understand the physical changes and evolution of the global and regional climate system, the underlying driving human-induced and natural processes, and the subsequent consequences.
