OpenCLIM (Open CLimate Impacts Modelling framework) in its first iteration is a two year endeavour piloting better understanding of climate risks and adaptation needs in the UK.  I led the engagement with stakeholders with so that the research is useful to its users, which is one of the things that I do for climate and environment research projects. OpenCLIM is an integrated impact assessment model that brings together existing models into a coherent whole for highlighting the impacts of climate change and informing adaptation needs. Once the concept is proven, its future uses are intended to include the UK national Climate Change Risk Assessments, a statutory requirement of the UK Climate Change Act 2008, as well as other national and place-based adaptation information needs.
