French Aeris

Aeris France is a French climate database at 1 km resolution, covering the period 1951–2100. It includes ten climate variables derived from 43 climate models, available across four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). These scenarios are drawn from the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).

Climate hazards and indicators

The table below presents the main climate hazards analysed within the Aeris France project. The database provides more than 200 indicators representative of these hazards.

These databases provide a robust foundation for decision-making, risk assessment, and resilience strategies across sectors worldwide.

Additional custom indicators can be developed on demand to meet specific regional, sectoral, or project requirements.
