The 4th day, 9th October 2025, of the CLUVEX 3rd Virtual Exchange (VE) Week successfully continued. The VE Week is hosted by Maher Sahyoun from the University of Copenhagen (UCPH), Denmark and Yulian Braychevskyy from the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv (TSNUK), Ukraine.
On 9th October, on the fourth day of the VE Week, about 170 participants attended in Zoom. The Poll of the day showed that participants’ think that there are people who should solve the climate change (with multiple choices): politicians – 80%, entrepreneurs – 50%, scientists – 76%, students – 35%, and celebrities – 29%. As seen, majority of participants agreed that politicians and scientists should take responsibility in solving the climate change. Moreover, communities as well as “everyone has role in solving climate change issues” were mentioned.
A new more advanced tool “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Web-based Atlas” (https://interactive-atlas.ipcc.ch) was presented and demonstrated. It is interactive and novel tool for analyses of much of the observed and projected climate change information underpinning the Working Group I contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report, including regional synthesis for Climatic Impact-Drivers. Presentation included demonstration of the tool for interactive, flexible spatial and temporal analyses of observed and projected climate change information; for exploring global and regional observed data and model simulations and helps to investigate the effects of climate change in specific regions, for assess changes in mean climate at regional scales, in particular observed trends and their attribution and projected future changes.
The 3 tools – the ERA-5 Past Climate Explorer (PCE), the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), and the IPCC Web-based Atlas to be actively used by participants working on the Individual/ Personal and Collaborative/ Joint Climate Horizon exercises during the VE Week.
Participants of the VE Week were reminded about materials in DigiCampus, daily assignments for students, aspects of the CLUVEX Climate Horizon exercise with 3 suggested approaches (utilizing tools for climate related data visualization, analysis and interpretation; preparing a reflective text; visual reflection using images) to realise; implementation on Miro-board the collaborative Climate Horizon exercise, where everyone summarizes own Climate Horizons. Students were reminded about the steps after the VE Week – to prepare a short report (max up to 2 pages) and to submit until the 17th October 2025 in the DigiCampus for evaluation and obtaining the ECTS credits.
After the demonstration of the IPCC Web-based Atlas tool and repetition of items/topics of the Climate Horizon exercise, the VE Week participants were redistributed again into the same small groups (with the moderator) in zoom break-out-rooms as on the previous days to continue during 2 hours online discussions, practicing with the tool demonstrated, independently working on individual/ personal Climate Horizon exercise as well continued discussions and work on collaborative/ joint Climate Horizon.
