 **Bio**: Carmen holds a double degree in Law, Business and Management from the University of Granada, Spain. After a period working in the FMCG sector she moved to the International Development sector working with NGOs in Latin America. She then started her Masters in International Affairs in Columbia University, in New York, and started working at the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI). There, she deepened into the arena of adaptation and mitigation, developing climate services for agriculture, health, energy and risk management in Latin America, Asia and Africa. After 5 years of working experience co-developing climate services, she pursue her industrial PhD at the University of Bologna, Italy. She started working at BSC in January 2023, working in European projects.  **Bio**: Carmen holds a double degree in Law, Business and Management from the University of Granada, Spain.

 +**Bio:** Dr. Christian Jané-Ippel works on the Destination Earth (DestinE) project, where he contributes to the development and scientific assessment of the Energy Indicators application within the Climate Adaptation Digital Twin. His current work focuses on developing wind and solar energy indicators, performing Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), and conducting scientific evaluations of climate outputs. He completed his PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Wind Energy Optimisation at Imperial College London. His doctoral research focused on the simulation and optimisation of onshore wind farms in complex terrain, coupling high-fidelity physics-based models (LES) with data-driven Bayesian optimisation to improve turbine layout performance, in collaboration with SSE Renewables. Prior to his PhD, Christian earned an MSc in Computational Methods for Aeronautics from Imperial College London and a BEng in Aerospace Engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). At BSC, he bridges his background in HPC and software engineering to maintain robust, reproducible code documentation and engage directly with key institutional stakeholders, ensuring complex climate data translates into actionable insights for the renewable energy sector. \\

-**Bio:** Dr Emily Ball holds an MMath in Mathematics from the University of Oxford. She obtained a PhD in Geography from the University of Bristol in October 2023; her PhD thesis investigated the dynamics of polar vortices and jets on Earth and Mars, using climate models and reanalyses to investigate these large-scale circulations. After her PhD, Emily became interested in climate impacts on public health, investigating the impacts of sea ice loss on temperature-related mortality. Emily joined BSC in November 2024 to work on the verification and post-processing of Seasonal Forecasts for Global Health Resilience projects.+**Bio:** Emily holds an MMath in Mathematics from the University of Oxford.
