Europe in a +4° world: can scientists explain it?

Description

At +4°C, Europe will experience unprecedented disruptions: extended heatwaves, water shortages, agricultural losses, and stressed infrastructure.

But how far can science really go? Do we have the tools to understand, predict, and turn these changes into actionable adaptation strategies?

This conference will bring together experts, researchers, and climatologists to assess the current state of knowledge, explore potential scenarios, and examine the limits of our understanding.
