The SECIF project consists in the extension of a first preliminary attempt led in partnership with IDDRI (“Institut for sustainable development and international relations) and related to climate change vulnerability issues for companies of industrial and services sectors. This collaboration enabled to identify precise needs into a couple of companies in terms of climate products and climate expertise. Moreover, feasibility of such a partnership has been validated using some concrete studies. They have been performed for two given sectors that are strongly sensitive to the climate adaptation issue: water and energy sectors. Several discussions with other companies and sectors (transport, all sort of services, building, urban planning …) have also shown that awareness of this different actors is actually going. A lot of work is still necessary to make companies more aware and more mature on their vulnerability and to be able to express a clear and concrete demand. In addition to this “consulting” work, research institutes must organise themselves and improve coordination in order to be able, if necessary, to respond to numerous requests and provide suitable information (data, various products and/or analysis methods). Several initiatives concerning model data distribution (regional or global scale data; raw or elaborated data) and their expertise have been launched (Drias and PRODIGUER projects for example). In the other side, several industrial requests on these vulnerability topics are often related to knowledge in the scope of basic research. Answering needs to provide an additional fundamental research and integrate multidisciplinarity aspects. Currently, at a national scale, an interface cell is missing to answer these various requests. The work that we propose in SECIF is then an exploratory step towards the implementation of climate services for industrial community. They will allow to better integrate climate data and knowledge in industrial adaptation strategies.
