CHAPEL

CHAPEL has the ambition to provide climate information at impact-relevant spatial and temporal scales for Luxembourg and the Greater Region based on current scientific knowledge.

Innovation

Researchers of the Environmental Research and Innovation (ERIN) department at the Luxembourg Institute of Science of Technology (LIST) will perform long-term climate simulations of past and future conditions at spatial resolutions that allows physical processes (e.g. convective extremes) to be resolved. As such, LIST will refer to the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), namely RCP2.6 and RCP8.5, as a basis for near-term and long-term future climate conditions. The radiative forcing trajectories in the RCPs explicitly explore the impact of various possible combinations of economic, technological, demographic, and policy developments. Read More
