They provide the basis for predicting impacts, guiding adaptation decisions, and setting mitigation targets. But society now needs more detailed and precise information to enable robust decision-making in the face of rapidly amplifying climate change and to achieve its goal of net zero by 2050. In this keynote, Dame Julia Slingo will argue that achieving this requires a quantum leap to a new generation of models capable of resolving the fundamental physics of extreme weather and climate events.\u202fHowever, this is a massive undertaking because these new models require several orders of magnitude more compute power and will generate huge data volumes.\u202fOvercoming these challenges\u202fand making the most effective use of limited human, computational, and financial resources requires a new level of international cooperation and collaboration. Only then we can deliver the computational infrastructure and intellectual firepower to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the 2021 Microsoft Research Summit: <a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/Aka.ms\/researchsummit\">https:\/\/Aka.ms\/researchsummit<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Climate models are fundamental to understanding climate change and anticipating its risks.
