Heatwaves hit the most vulnerable hardest

Published 6.11.2026

Climate change is increasingly impacting people's health all over the world. As heatwaves become hotter and more frequent, the most vulnerable suffer the most.

Researchers and experts warn FIFA over World Cup heat risk and player’s health

Published 21.5.2026

Researchers and medical experts are warning FIFA that the measures put in place to address extreme heat during the football World Cup this summer are inadequate and could put players' health at risk.

Will develop advanced early warning and decision-support systems for heat and air pollution in Delhi and Kolkata

Published 18.3.2025

Today, there are separate early warning systems for extreme heat and air pollution in India. A new project will assess exposure and health impacts from concurrent extreme heat and air pollution in Delhi and Kolkata and work to make a joint early warning system for both these challenges.

New tool provides knowledge on heat stress vulnerability in cities for more targeted adaptation

Published 9.10.2024

Heat-related deaths and diseases are a major concern in Europe amid increasing extended periods of extreme heat. This study proposes a novel way of quantifying and projecting future vulnerability to heat stress in different areas of a city, providing local decision-makers with knowledge for designing more effective adaptation strategies to minimize health impacts of heat stress.

Wetlands as game-changers for climate change mitigation and adaptation

Published 16.10.2023

Wetlands are natural water ecosystems that can help to mitigate the physical impacts of multi-hazards and extreme events. Despite its high potential, wetlands have been overlooked and are rarely considered in climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction policies and programmes, argues CICERO researchers together with Wetlands International Europe.

Risk of more fire weather in the North

Published 8.9.2023

There is an increasing risk of large wildfires in high latitude regions, Scandinavia included, concludes a newly published study by researchers from CICERO Center for International Climate Research and the University of Oslo.

Projects

MYRIAD-EU: Improving disaster risk management through multi-hazard and multi-sector risk assessment

The EU-project MYRIAD-EU aims to enable decision-makers to develop forward-looking disaster risk management pathways that takes into account trade-offs and synergies across sectors, hazards and scales.

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.

EXtremeClimTwin: Building capacity on climate extremes through cooperation

Increasing heat extremes, reduced summer precipitation and higher rainfall intensities are some of the climate change impacts facing the Western Balkans. To strengthen local researchers’ ability to understand the current and coming changes in climate extremes, CICERO researchers are involved in an EU funded capacity building project with the University of Novi Sad in Serbia.

ENBEL: Connecting health and climate change research

Climate change is according to the WHO the greatest threat to human health in the 21st century. By bringing together leaders in climate change and health research the CICERO-coordinated Horizon 2020 project ENBEL will contribute with knowledge and policy advice on climate change and health links.

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 health

The climate and health research group is an interdisciplinary group with strong competence within a range of areas of relevance to health impact assessment.

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 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.
