Extreme weather to strengthen rapidly over next two decades

Published 11.9.2024

70 percent of the global population can expect strong and rapid changes in extreme temperatures and rainfall in the next 20 years unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut dramatically, according to a new study.

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.

Global warming potential of hydrogen estimated

Published 7.6.2023

The global warming effect of leaked hydrogen is almost 12 times stronger than co₂, shows a new study by CICERO, a climate research centre, published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.

New dataset on climate extreme indices and heat stress indicators

Published 22.3.2022

The dataset provides climate extreme indices related to temperature and precipitation as well as selected heat stress indicators derived from global climate projections.

Projects

Combined impact of heat and air pollution exposure on human health in India: Evidence and solutions (COPE)

The COPE project will develop advanced Early Warning and Decision-support Systems for heat and air pollution in the two major Indian urban conglomerates - Delhi and Kolkata.

HYway: Climate Impacts of a HYdrogen economy: the pathWAY to knowledge

The HYway project contributes to the understanding of the climate and environmental risks and co-benefits of a hydrogen economy and aims to advise policymakers and industry on options for addressing those risks.

HYDROGEN

Hydrogen is often considered a green energy carrier that has the potential to replace oil, but little is known about its environmental and climate impacts. Over the next three years, CICERO will therefore study what these impacts are.

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.

AVIATE: How can aviation contribute to a low-carbon society?

The AVIATE (Aviation in a low-carbon society) project will provide better understanding of the climate impact of aviation, both for Norway and globally, and explore options for reducing that impact.

Research groups

Climate Mitigation

The research group works to understand the trends and drivers of historical and future emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate forcers, and their effect on the climate.
