Insights on Climate, Climate Risk, Adaptation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Comprehensive academic research platform for sustainability report analysis and ESRS benchmarking by leading researchers.

Ten HORIZON-CL2-2026-01 topics under Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society), worth EUR 103 million in total, all opening 12 May 2026 and closing 23 September 2026. Budgets, action types, and a detailed overview page for each.

Climate change and misinformation are interconnected crises. A short Nature Human Behaviour piece draws six actionable insights from climate psychology for misinformation researchers who want stronger policy relevance, systems thinking, and resilience to attacks.

MSCI's website hosts a PDF of Verdantix's Green Quadrant report on climate financial data and analytics providers — but the version MSCI distributes contains only MSCI's own vendor profile, not the other nine providers assessed. Useful for its evaluation criteria, not for independent comparison.

There is no global crisis of trust in science — but there is a real, well-documented gap in who feels invited into it. We think closing that gap, building science-aware societies and citizen scientists, is the logical next step after the climate-communication lesson.

Green IO Paris doubles down in 2026: two language tracks, 1,000+ responsible technologists, and the capstone European edition after six global cities — green software, responsible AI, and GreenOps from practitioners across the continent.

Explore open data for climate risk management with tools and services from UNEP, NASA, ESA, Copernicus, and IPCC. Learn how open data empowers climate risk assessment and adaptation.

The SEC's climate disclosure vote could redefine corporate climate accountability. Explore the potential shifts in reporting standards and their global implications.

Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL2-2026-01-DEMOCRACY-06 funds research on governing global commons sustainably across three thematic areas: climate governance, biodiversity governance, and spaces beyond national jurisdiction. EUR 12 million, three projects, deadline 23 September 2026.

Does psychological inoculation make people better at spotting misinformation — or just more cynical about everything? A Bayesian Signal Detection Theory meta-analysis of 33 experiments with 37,025 participants finds improved discernment without a shift toward generalised distrust.

Seven climate risk vendors assessed the same dummy portfolio and the same flood-prone stretch of road outside Paris — and disagreed almost completely. A detailed Investor Leadership Network study, alongside a 13-vendor GARP benchmark, traces that disagreement to specific, nameable methodological choices, not just irreducible uncertainty.
