SUMMARY:Webinar: Climate services for energy: sharing knowledge through case studies
DESCRIPTION:The Climateurope project is organising the webinar: 'Climate services for e
 nergy: sharing knowledge through case studies'.\nRenewable energy is centra
 l to the global effort to move to less carbon-intensive economies that supp
 ort the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the g
 eneration of renewable energy and its operational planning are strongly aff
 ected by weather and climate variability, which causes wide variations in b
 oth energy supply and demand. To better deal with climate variability, inte
 rnational efforts are directed to enhance the quality, quantity and applica
 tion of climate services in support of decision-making by renewable energy 
 producers.\nThe limited uptake of climate predictions by the renewable ener
 gy sector identifies the need for enhanced communication of their usefulnes
 s. Case studies - events that users identify as relevant because they affec
 ted their businesses in the past - offer a suitable way to communicate and 
 share knowledge with potential users. Case studies can help showcase how cl
 imate information and knowledge would have been useful if available at the 
 moment of the event and also illustrate how to translate probabilistic mode
 l outcomes into deterministic decision-making.\nSome efforts to co-develop 
 case studies for the energy sector are led by European H2020 projects such 
 as S2S4E (Sub-seasonal to seasonal climate predictions for energy), APPLICA
 TE (Advancing polar predictions in the Arctic and beyond) and PRIMAVERA (Hi
 gh resolution climate change projections carried out with a new generation 
 of climate models). Examples of how case studies are used to analyse past p
 eriods with unusual climate behaviour affecting the energy market  will be 
 presented during this webinar, including three different project perspectiv
 es and expertise.\n \nModerator:\nIsadora Christel Jiménez, Earth Sciences
