The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) has obtained 5 million euros this year from European funds in competition with other international institutions to finance five new research projects aimed at studying processes related to climate change and its effects on health, society and the environment. The projects will be managed by the BSC's Earth Sciences Department, an international reference in the study of climate prediction and evolution, atmospheric composition and the development of climate and air quality services.

Researchers propose a method capable of predicting variations in renewable energy generation months in advance through climate predictions. In order to protect the planet, the European Commission announced in 2020 its commitment to make Europe the first continent with zero net greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Just a few days ago, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warned about the urgent need to reduce these emissions in the short term.
