What does extreme weather do for transport system? See the report developed in EWENT under the leadership of German Aerospace Center. The report gives almost a 360 degree view of the consequences of extreme weather. D3.4 Consequences of extreme weather

How is extreme weather going to change in the future? To what should we prepare for? See the report developed under the leadership of Finnish Meteorological Institute. The report pinpoints the changing probabilities of extreme weather phenomena far to the future. Deliverable D2.1 Probabilities of adverse weather affecting transport in Europe: climatology and scenarios up to the 2050s The FMI report (shortened EWENT D2.1)
