Tool-supported policy-development for regional adaptation (TOPDAD)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Adaptation in the face of climate change is currently a major challenge, not only in the EU, but all around the world. Climate change has two distinct characters: the slower trends in climatic variables such as sea water temperatur, and the extreme weather phenomena, such as heavy precipitation. The fundamental driver for regional adaptation are regional climate scenarios. Crucial for local societ ...

European Trans-disciplinary Assessment of Climate Engineering (EuTRACE)
Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
Growing concern over the difficulty of efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions has recently led to an intense discussion of “Climate Engineering” (CE) - techniques for global-scale intervention to offset global warming. These have great potentials, but also entail serious risks and uncertainties. CE is rapidly gaining scientific, political, commercial, and public attention, and the firs ...

Implications and risks of engineering solar radiation to limit climate change (IMPLICC)
Start date: Jul 1, 2009, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
"The overall goal of this project is to significantly increase the level of knowledge about the feasibility and implications of novel options (or “geoengineering concepts”), proposed recently to limit climate change. Among these possibilities, a deliberate manipulation of the radiative budget of the Earth may allow a counterbalancing of the effects of continued greenhouse gas emissions on global ...
