Ecosystem-based strategies and innovations in water governance networks for adaptation to climate change in Latin American Landscapes (EcoAdapt)
Start date: Jan 15, 2012, End date: Jan 14, 2016,
International debates on climate change highlight the need to foster adaptation planning in Latin America where significant impacts are expected. However, little progress has been made due to the difficulty of managing environmental dynamics characterized by deep uncertainties and potential tensions at various scales.EcoAdapt is built on the outcomes of two rounds on regional consultation with Lat ...

Building Resilience Amongst Communities in Europe (EMBRACE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
In an interdisciplinary, socially inclusive and collaborative context, emBRACE aims to improve the framing of resilience in the context of disasters in Europe. It will develop a conceptual and methodological approach to clarify how the resilience capacity of a society confronted with natural hazards and disasters can be characterized, defined and measured. On the basis of a systematic evaluation o ...

Quantifying projected impacts under 2°C warming (IMPACT2C)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
Political discussions on the European goal to limit global warming to 2°C demands that discussions are informed by the best available science on projected impacts and possible benefits. IMPACT2C enhances knowledge, quantifies climate change impacts, and adopts a clear and logical structure, with climate and impacts modelling, vulnerabilities, risks and economic costs, as well as potential respons ...

Methodology for Effective Decision-making on Impacts and AdaptaTION (MEDIATION) (MEDIATION)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Jun 30, 2013,
"Assessment of climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation requires a combination of generic and context-specific knowledge. Currently, the availability of such knowledge in Europe is fragmented and incomplete. MEDIATION addresses this challenge through six activities: (i) analysis of the decision-making context; (ii) inventory, review and improvement of methods and metrics for impacts an ...

Full Costs of Climate Change (ClimateCost)
Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Jul 31, 2011,
There is increasing interest in the economics of climate change to inform policy on a) long-term targets, b) the costs of inaction (the economic effects of climate change), and c) the costs and benefits of adaptation. The objectives of this study are to advance knowledge across all three areas, i.e. the full economic costs of climate change, through the following tasks: 1. To identify and develop ...

Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)
Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2010,
"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
