Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.

Heatwaves linked to carbon emissions from specific companies Nearly one-quarter of heatwaves would have been ‘virtually impossible’ without global warming — and can be attributed to the emissions of individual energy producers.

Published in Nature (www.nature.com/articles/s41... & www.nature.com/articles/d41...), the research has been making global headlines in CNN (edition.cnn.com/2025/09/10/c...), The Guardian (www.theguardian.com/environment/...), and beyond.

SPARCCLE Project - Research

Ever wondered who is making severe heatwaves worse – or even possible?🤔🔥

A groundbreaking study by #SPARCCLE researchers shows that GHG emissions from just 180 fossil fuel and cement producers have significantly intensified global heatwaves.

SPARCCLE Project, Wildfires study

🔥🔥Wildfires are becoming longer, stronger, and more destructive. A new study in Environmental Research: Climate, co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers, shows that addressing social and economic vulnerability across countries will be a key factor in mitigating the scale of resulting financial damage.

SPARCCLE Project, World Population Day 2025

This year’s #WorldPopulationDay highlights declining fertility rates and the wide-ranging impact this trend has on sustainable development. Within the #SPARCCLE project, we are working to better understand these demographic developments by producing sub-national population projections across Europe.

Global emergence of unprecedented lifetime exposure to climate extremes - Nature Climate models, impact models and demographic data are used to estimate the number of people projected to experience unprecedented lifetime exposure to extreme climate events across multiple dimension...

SPARCCLE Project, Global emergence of unprecedented lifetime exposure to climate extremes

📢A new global study published in Nature - co-authored by #SPARCCLE researchers @lukasgudmundsson.bsky.social, @soniaseneviratne.bsky.social and @wimthiery.bsky.social – finds that children born in 2020 will face “unprecedented lifetime exposure” to extreme weather events.

SPARCCLE Project, World Oceans Day 2025

🌊 Happy #WorldOceansDay! 🌊

❓ Did you know that our oceans absorb about 30% of carbon dioxide produced by humans? This vital process helps buffer the impacts of global warming, making our oceans essential allies in the fight against climate change.

#SPARCCLE #HorizonEU #Climate #Resilience #Europe

A new study published in Nature Climate Change - co-authored by #SPARCCLE researcher @carlschleussner.bsky.social - finds that the world’s wealthiest 10% caused two-thirds of global warming since 1990.

This #EarthDay, we reaffirm our commitment to building a climate resilient Europe through the #SPARCCLE project.

Let's celebrate our planet by protecting its future. 🌍 🌱

SPARCCLE Project - World Health Day 2025

Heat stress🌡️is dangerous for everyone, but pregnant women🤰are especially vulnerable.
In #SPARCCLE, we work on assessments that would help us better understand where Europe’s most vulnerable women are and how climate-intensified heat stress may impact them. #WorldHealthDay
