European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change
Mission
The European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change is an independent body providing the European Union (EU) with scientific knowledge, expertise and advice relating to climate change. The Advisory Board evaluates policies and identifies actions and opportunities to successfully achieve the EU’s climate targets. It was established in 2021 by the European Climate Law and consists of 15 independent senior scientific experts covering a broad range of relevant disciplines.
The Advisory Board works independently and transparently to assess EU climate policies, identify gaps, and recommend effective pathways for reducing emissions and strengthening climate adaptation. It collaborates closely with EU institutions, scientific networks, national advisory bodies, and a wide range of stakeholders to ensure its guidance is evidence‑based, timely, and aligned with broader EU objectives such as fairness, well‑being, and environmental integrity.
Voluntary Commitments
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
