VERA Showcased at the XIII International AEC Congress

Emilio Diego from Meteogrid presented the latest advancements of the VERA project at the "XIII Congreso Internacional de la AEC: Cambio Climático y Sociedad: de la Ciencia Básica a los Servicios Climáticos," held in El Escorial, Madrid. Speaking in the session titled "Forest Fires and Landscape," Emilio highlighted VERA’s progress in the development of a multi-risk methodology and the selection of critical frontiers, sharing key results achieved by the project.

The VERA initiative focuses on improving cross-border risk management mechanisms with a multi-risk approach, leveraging data from European services such as Copernicus and Galileo. This work aims to enhance preparedness, prediction, mitigation, and adaptation strategies for natural disasters, with a particular emphasis on transboundary landscapes and climate risks.

Emilio’s presentation emphasized the project's contribution to tackling the increasing complexity of forest fires and their impact on landscapes and communities. Attendees gained insights into how VERA’s innovative methodologies are shaping the future of climate services and risk management in vulnerable regions, especially along European borders.

The XIII International AEC Congress brought together leading experts, researchers, and policymakers to explore the intersection of climate science and societal needs. The event serves as a platform to translate basic research into actionable climate services, promoting collaboration to address the challenges of climate change effectively.
