Climate Change Data Current Status Climate Change Adaptation Indicators Workshop 24-26.3.2015 Potential Climate Change related Statistics Climatic data Water and marine data Health data Agriculture data Energy data Biodiversity data Economic data Climatic Data (annual and multi-annual averages for selected stations) Monthly average of daily maximum and minimum temperatures Precipitation Rain days Average relative humidity Average radiation and duration of sunshine Possible Indicator- Annual precipitation, multi-annual averages Possible Indicator- Rain days, multi-annual averages Proposal for climate change indicators, based on the EPA Temperature: Min and max temperatures (July and January) Number of extreme temperature days per year Number of heat waves per year Proposal for climate change indicators, (continued) Precipitation Comparison of multi- annual averages of precipitation (30-year average) Number of rain days per year Precipitation volume Number of extreme rain events per year Number of snow days and depth in Jerusalem and Safed per year Proposal for climate change indicators, (continued) Drought Number of drought years according to the Palmer drought severity index Marine Average sea level per year Average water temperature per year Some challenges regarding climatic indicators Geographical coverage (with/without the desert) Available data are not consistent across data series Extreme values- sometimes due to measurement errors How to determine thresholds for extreme rain, temperature and other climate events International standards? Representative stations? Water and Marine data Water level of aquifers, Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea Average salinity in aquifers and Sea of Galilee? water production and consumption by sector and water type (surface, ground, desalinated and effluents) Production of wastewater treatment plants Marine data- under development in cooperation with the “Maarag” (Ocean Health Index) Possible Indicator- water salinity in Aquifers and Sea of Galilee Possible Indicator- Wastewater and Reclaimed water in the “ Shafdan” Health data National expenditure on health Beds in hospitals and bed occupancy Hospitalization by cause Mortality by cause Agriculture Data Agricultural area by crop Forest area Production of crops (monthly data) Water consumption in agriculture Food supply balance (dependency on imports) Energy data Energy balance Electricity consumption by sector (Annual) Installed generating capacity Annual peak loads Biodiversity data Threat of extinction for vertebrates and plants (limited data) Protected areas Economic data Budget data? Environmental protection (public sector and manufacturing industry)? Insurance (agriculture, natural disasters)? Environmental accounts? Challanges Role of the ICBS Adjust data for climate change purposes Isolate climate related events Identify needs of local stakeholders Adapt to International standards Availability of resources Cooperation with research Thank You for your attention!
