  abstract = {Based on high-resolution models, we investigate the change in climate extremes and impact-relevant indicators over Europe under different levels of global warming. We specifically assess the robustness of the changes and the benefits of limiting warming to 1.5°C instead of 2°C. Compared to 1.5°C world, a further 0.5°C warming results in a robust change of minimum summer temperature indices (mean, Tn10p, and Tn900p) over more than 70\,\% of Europe. Robust changes (more than 0.5°C) in maximum temperature affect smaller areas (usually less than 20\,\%). There is a substantial nonlinear change of fixed-threshold indices, with more than 60\,\% increase of the number of tropical nights over southern Europe and more than 50\,\% decrease in the number of frost days over central Europe. The change in mean precipitation due to 0.5°C warming is mostly nonsignificant at the grid point level, but, locally, it is accompanied by a more marked change in extreme rainfall.},
