SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS
The Historical Perspective
FP3 & 4:
Research on ecosystem functioning, climate
and environment protection technologies
FP5:
Integration of the environmental dimension in
research; more attention to climate change,
water, coastal integration and urban dynamics
FP6:
Sustainability to be integrated in all areas of
research, especially Energy, Transport and Agriculture
FP7:
Sustainable management of the environment and its
resources, functioning of climate and the earth system,
development of new technologies, tools and services

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS
Some pertinent results of FP5

DEMETER: Capability demonstrated to predict
seasonal/interannual climate variations – implications for energy,
agriculture, tourism and health

EPICA: Ice coring reached a depth of 3100m. Climate history
record of past 900,000 years

CARBOEUROPE: Carbon absorption capacity of Europe’s
terrestrial biosphere reported to be about 7-12 % of the annual
anthropogenic CO2 emissions

GECS: Global scenarios analysing the impact of post-Kyoto
policies under flexibility mechanisms for emission reduction

TRADEOFF: Aviation cirrus clouds impacts on climate is three
times larger than that from CO2 emissions alone

The 6th Framework Programme
 FP6 (2002-2006) is the main instrument of the EC
to implement the European Research Area (ERA),
a new approach for European and international
collaboration.
 Implementation mainly through new instruments:
Integrated Projects (IP) and Networks of Excellence
(NoE).
 The FP6 is open to partners around the world.
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS
The 3 interrelated pillars of FP6
Priority 6: Sustainable Development,
Global Change and Ecosystems
 Sustainable energy systems (810 M€): clean energy, energy
savings, alternative motor fuels, fuel cells, energy
carriers/transport/storage
 Sustainable surface transport (610 M€): environmentally
friendly transport, interoperability, safety
 Global change and ecosystems (700 M€): greenhouse gas
emissions, water cycle, biodiversity and ecosystems, natural
disasters, land management, climate observation,
complementary research, cross-cutting issues
