Bottom-up Climate Adaptation Strategies towards a Sustainable Europe (BASE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Climate change can disrupt ecological, social and economic systems, with some regions and sectors suffering significantly. Therefore, adaptation plays a paramount role in responding to climate change. Progress has been made, but there are still important obstacles. Knowledge of the benefits and costs of adaptation is sparse, unsystematic and unevenly distributed across sectors and countries. Plan ...

Knowledge Based Climate Mitigation Systems for a Low Carbon Economy (COMPLEX)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The science of complex systems distinguishes linear from non-linear dynamics. Simpler systems can often be satisfactory described by linear models, but complex systems require non-linear models that can capture more of the characteristics of such systems, such as thresholds, feedback loops, avalanche effects, and irreversibility. Linear systems can be validated by aligning models to the past and u ...

Economics of climate change adaptation in Europe (ECONADAPT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
The aim of the ECONADAPT project is to provide user-orientated methodologies and evidence relating to economic appraisal criteria to inform the choice of adaptation actions using analysis that incorporates cross-scale governance under conditions of uncertainty. A critical theme of the proposal is therefore to support the application of adaptation economics in the period following the publication o ...

Public health impacts in URban environments of Greenhouse gas Emissions reduction strategies (PURGE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2014,
"The project will examine the health impacts of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction policies in urban settings in Europe, China and India, using case studies of 3-4 large urban centres and three smaller urban centres. Sets of realistic interventions will be proposed, tailored to local needs, to meet published abatement goals for GHG Emissions for 2020, 2030 and 2050.Mitigation actions will be defined i ...
