Use of climate data and information for EEA climate change assessment Blaz Kurnik (Air and climate change programme - EEA) 2016: EEA content priorities • • • • • • Circular economy Climate and Energy Sustainable Development Goals Refit Monitoring and Reporting Natural Capital Copernicus - land monitoring service and in-situ coordination - climate change service (important European user) • SOER2020 Climate change, impacts, vulnerabilities, and adaptations • Climate change impacts indicators • Climate change impacts report • Climate – ADAPT • Report on Extreme weather and climate in Europe Indicator on Global and European temperature • Most viewed core set indicator maintained by EEA • 2 degree target – important policy question • Very dynamic indicator using vast amount of underpinning research 2015 the warmest year since pre-industrial… • 2015 was nominally the warmest year on record, according to different near-surface temperature observational analyses with anomalies close to 1oC. • the decade 2006-2015 was between 0.83 and 0.89 oC warmer than the period 1850-1899 (pre-industrial) Reasons • Anthropogenic influence – C02 concentration ppm close to 400 ppm 2015 Reasons • ENSO (strong positive phase after 1998) Reasons • New data with more stations available Impact on updating the CSI012 … substantial update of the assessment required (including new data)… European temperature • The temperatures averaged over Europe for years 2014 and 2015 are very similar, with 2015 being only very slightly warmer (source CIB) • The average annual temperature over European land areas has increased more than global average temperature - by approximately 1.6°C (± 0.1 °C) in 2006-2015 Temperature extremes – selection of indices Trends in daily maximum and minimum temperature TXx TNx TX90p TN90p Absolute threshold Relative threshold Report on climate extremes Assessing trends and projections in extreme events Observations and projections of extreme events Extreme temperature (Heat waves) Droughts (meteorological, soil moisture and hydrological droughts) Hail Heavy precipitation Key messages from the report • Since 2003 Europe has experienced several extreme summer heatwaves (2003, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2014 and 2015). Heat waves are projected to become the norm in the second half of the 21st century under a high forcing scenario (RCP8.5). • The length of wet spells as well as the intensity of heavy precipitation events have decreased in southwestern Europe but increased in northern and northeastern Europe since 1960s. High resolution precipitation dataset not available. • Since 1951 increasing hail trends have been noted in southern France parts of Spain and Austria, and decreasing (but not significant) trends in parts of eastern Europe. Missing reliable data Forthcoming EEA reports on climate change • Climate change, impacts, and vulnerability report 2016 – indicator report (currently in final draft) • Climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in Europe - Synergies for the knowledge base and policies – 2017 report (drafting has started)
