Climate change is manifested by pronounced negative impacts on the society and ecosystems.
Increasing heat extremes, heavy precipitation events, droughts and other hazards, put a strain on the
health systems, economies, and natural environments of Europe. Therefore, understanding and
projecting future hydro-meteorological variability and occurrence of extremes, as well as their impacts
are key scientific challenges crucial to the development and implementation of sustainable management
practices and policies.
