Detailed analysis was undertaken for over 100 of these impacts across 11 key sectors. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10777722 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:50:58 GMT Defra One of the main goals of CIRCLE-2 Joint Initiative (JI) on Climate Uncertainties is to develop and publish advances in the theme of “dealing with and communicating climate and climate change uncertainties in support of adaptation decision-making” in the form of a final publication. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10776327 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:26:42 GMT CIRCLE More cooperation between government and business is the only road ahead to save the climate, according to former UN Climate Chief Yvo de Boer. He spoke at a Nordic Council seminar in Oslo on January 24, where he urged the Nordic countries to take the lead towards a global climate solution. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10773775 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 09:51:16 GMT The Nordic Council Engineering our way out of global climate warming may not be as easy as simply reducing the incoming solar energy. Designing the approach to control both sea level rise and rates of surface air temperature changes requires a balancing act to accommodate the diverging needs of different locations. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10772351 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:39:28 GMT ScienceDaily.com Meteorologically, 2011 was a remarkable year: it was the second warmest in the UK temperature record (from 1910) and was notable for extreme regional disparities in rainfall receipt – with continuing drought conditions in the English Lowlands contrasting dramatically with Scotland, which had its wettest year on record. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10771792 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:37:39 GMT NERC - Centre for Ecology & Hydrology New research has found that individuals and the private sector have an important role to play in the provision of public policies to help society adapt to the impacts of climate change. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10771596 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:01:30 GMT ScienceDaily.com Climate change is having a more profound effect on alpine vegetation than at first anticipated, according to a study carried out by an international group of researchers and published in the journal Nature Climate Change. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10770704 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:25:19 GMT NERC - Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Using statistical analysis methods to examine rainfall extremes in India, a team of researchers has made a discovery that resolves an ongoing debate in published findings and offers new insights. The study reports no evidence for uniformly increasing trends in rainfall extremes averaged over the entire Indian region. It does, however, find a steady and significant increase in the spatial variability of rainfall extremes over the region. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10768911 Mon, 26 Dec 2011 13:01:53 GMT WaterLink International / Nature Climate Change Over 160 participants from 38 countries from scientific institutions, universities, multilateral scientific organizations, governments, international organizations, farmers’ organizations, private sector and civil society organizations convened at the Global Science Conference on Climate-Smart Agriculture in Wageningen, Netherlands, 24–26 October 2011, convened to identify scientific priorities that will lead to climate-smart agriculture. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10778175 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:11:26 GMT Global Science Conference on Climate-Smart Agriculture 2011 The final report of the Water and Global Change programme (WATCH), an extensive analysis of the world’s water resources, is made available on October 13, 2011, significantly expanding our understanding of climate change and land use impacts on the global hydrological cycle. /templates/dispatcher.asp?page_id=viewitem&itemid=10749604 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 01:15:56 GMT EU WATCH Secretary / NERC - Centre for Ecology & Hydrology
