High-End Climate Impacts and Extremes (HELIX)

HELIX was an EU-funded collaborative research project assessing the potential impacts of climate change. Scientists from 16 organisations worldwide worked together to develop a number of future scenarios of the natural and human world as a consequence of 1.5°C, 2°C and 4°C global warming.
