Dear ENVRI community!
The SARS-CoV2 epidemic currently sweeping Europe and the world also affects climate research. Find ENVRI’s official statement on Zenodo, or download it here!
On an initiative of the Board of European Environmental Research Infrastructures (BEERi), to keep the community informed about how COVID-19 has impacted our various research infrastructures we have also sent out a special newsletter. The contents can be found here:
As we know with climate change, global problems require global solutions, which again require accurate knowledge. The current situation poses many exceptional challenges, but many research infrastructures have stepped up and put their capacities to good use in the fight against the virus. These efforts can be found below.
Stay safe!
