Title
SCENIC: Storyline scenarios of extreme weather, climate, and environmental events along with their impacts in a warmer world
General information
What would the 2019 and 2022 summer heatwaves in Germany have been like if they had taken place in a cooler climate without human-induced climate change? Would the numerous severe rainfall events in 2024, which led to the flooding of large areas in Europe, have been less severe without climate change? How would these and other extreme weather situations unfold in a globally 4 °C warmer world – and what would be the impacts on hydrology, agriculture, health, etc.? In the SCENIC project, all seven Helmholtz Earth & Environment Centres have collaborated to address such questions based on event-based storyline simulations with a hierarchy of global climate to regional impact models...
