A new CEN Workshop is being planned as part of the activities of the EU project 'Climateeurope2'. The aim of this project is to provide reliable and usable quality-assured climate services to benefit society.
Across many industries, there is increasing demand for precise climate-related insights to inform decision-making. Combined with this need is the reality of a fast-evolving climate-service market which seeks to provide accurate information while adapting to the growing awareness of climate risks and opportunities shaping the market environment.
In such a changing landscape, standardized ways of working are necessary. The Climateeurope2 project has identified a need for guidance for co-production processes across the climate service lifecycle. The proposed workshop will bring together a diverse group of participants from the climate services ecosystem. Their collective expertise will aid climate service provision in becoming more consistent, effective and transparent in a way that really benefits climate service users.
The proposed CEN Workshop Agreement will be a key deliverable of the Climateeurope2 project. It will support the goals of providing climate information that is credible, relevant, and useable, and will uphold scientific robustness, accessibility and responsiveness to the needs of industry. More concretely, it will offer a framework for an integrated and transparent approach to service development. For users this means confidence in the climate information and the reliability and relevance of the outputs of the co-production processes due to the development of a standardized and clear methodology.
The work undertaken in this workshop will complement the activities of CEN/TC 467 'Climate services – principles, requirements and guidelines'.
The kick-off meeting for the Workshop will be an online meeting on 18th March 2026 from 9.00 am to 1.00 pm (CEST): Join the Teams Meeting
All interested parties are invited to submit comments on the draft Project Plan using the commenting form below, to the Workshop Secretary, Saskia Maresch (Saskia.Maresch@din.de), by March 17th, 2026.
