Community Research European Commission EU RESEARCH ON CLIMATE CHANGE: Present and Future Anver Ghazi Head, Global Change Unit European Commission Brussels UNFCCC Workshop Bonn, 21 June 2004 Global Change and Ecosystems Community Research European Commission THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE From research on environmental protection to integration of sustainability into research FP3 & 4: Research on ecosystem functioning and climate; environment protection technologies (e.g. ozone research) FP5: Integration of the environmental dimension in research; more attention to climate, water, coastal integration and urban dynamics FP6: Sustainability to be integrated in all areas of research, especially Energy, Transport and Agriculture Global Change and Ecosystems Community Research European Commission FP5 (1999-2002) CLIMATE RESEARCH Over 180 research projects funded in areas (budget: 250 Mill ECU): - Climate change prediction Climate dynamics and abrupt changes Interactions between ecosystems and carbon/nitrogen cycle Atmospheric composition Change Stratospheric ozone depletion Mitigation and adaptation European contribution to global observation systems Natural hazards research Contribution to IGBP, WCRP, IHDP and IPCC Global Change and Ecosystems Community Research European Commission Some pertinent results of on-going FP5 projects EPICA (European Project on Ice Coring in Antarctica): Ice coring reached a depth of 3100 m. Climate history record of past 900000 years DEMETER (Development of a European Multi-Model Ensemble System for Seasonal to Interannual Prediction): Capability demonstrated to predict seasonal/interannual climate variations - implications for energy, agriculture, tourism and health CARBOEUROPE (Carbon Cycle in Europe): Carbon Absorption Capacity of Europe’s terrestrial biosphere reported to be about 7-12% of the annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions Global Change and Ecosystems Community Research European Commission Some pertinent results of on-going FP5 projects TRADEOFF (Aircraft Emissions: Contribution of Different Climate Components to Changes in Radiative Forcing): Aviation emission impacts on cirrus clouds three times larger than that from CO2 emissions alone on climate AICSEX (Arctic Ice Cover Simulation Experiment): The Arctic warming in 1920-1930 and the subsequent cooling in 1950-1970 are due to natural fluctuations in the climate system. PRUDENCE (Prediction of Regional Scenarios and Uncertainties for Defining EuropeaN Climate change Risks and Effects) Global Change and Ecosystems Community Research European Commission Global Emissions Control Strategies Project Objective Develop global (world) scenarios in order to analyse the impacts of Post-Kyoto policies under flexibility mechanisms for emission reduction, including options to reduce emissions resulting from land use change and for strengthening carbon sinks.
