Support#

Support is offered by the CLIMAAX project for climate risk assessments following the Framework and utilizing the workflows in this Handbook.

Public and exclusive support

The Handbook with the Framework description, workflows, technical documentation and supporting pages are public and open to everyone. You can reach out to us with questions and contribute via the Forum and GitHub, independent of your relationship with the CLIMAAX project.

The service desk and JupyterHub are exclusively offered to our project partners and participating regions that receive financial support through the CLIMAAX project (i.e., selected regions of the CLIMAAX open calls).

We recommend to always check the Handbook for information before reaching out to us. The website is regularly updated by the CLIMAAX team and frequently asked questions added to our FAQ. A basic search function is available in the top left under our logo or you can use your favourite search engine.

When reaching out to us, please prefer our general channels, i.e. the forum, GitHub and service desk, rather than contacting individuals from the CLIMAAX team directly via email. This way we can process requests more efficiently and transparently.

Forum#

A CLIMAAX tag is available to associate topics in any category of the public ECMWF forum with the CLIMAAX project. All topics with our tag can be viewed on a dedicated overview page. Posts in the forum are public and anyone registered can participate, giving you the opportunity to interact with the whole CLIMAAX community.
