  1. 7th EIONET Workshop on Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and AdaptationEEA, 20th June 2013 Update on DG RTD activitiesClimate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation Eleni Manoli DG Research and Innovation Directorate I – EnvironmentClimate Change and Natural Hazards Unit eleni.manoli@ec.europa.eu

  2. Developments since mid-2012… • Adaptation-related projects from the last FP7 Environment call – expected to start in November 2013 • Impacts of higher-end scenarios • Economics of adaptation to climate change • Launch of research projects on Strategies, costs and impacts of adaptation to climate change • Towards the end of several research projects on adaptation • Outputs to be linked to Climate-Adapt

  3. Impacts of higher-endscenarios (1/3) HELIXHigh-End cLimate Impacts and eXtremes • Driving questions: • What do 4ºC and 6ºC worlds look like in comparison to 2ºC? • What are the consequences of different adaptation choices? • Key elements • Multiple climate projections(RCPs) & SSPs, and downscaling experiments • Global impact models: Agriculture, Water, Biomes, Health, Coastal infrastructure • Synthesis of impacts at different warming levels, uncertainty and impact emulators The HELIX focus areas Duration: 48 Months – Consortium of 16 partners, led by the University of Exeter

  4. Impacts of higher-endscenarios (2/3) IMPRESSIONSImpacts and risks from high-end scenarios – Strategies for innovative solutions • Focus: Integrated scenarios, adaptation measures, climate and socio-economic tipping points • Key elements • Modelling framework, stakeholder engagement • Advances in the CLIMSAVE IA platform: new models, simulation of time- and path-dependent impacts, adaptation and vulnerabilities • 5 Case Studies: Global, Europe, 3 local sites in Europe Duration: 60 Months – Consortium of 24 partners, led by the University of Oxford

  5. Impacts of higher-endscenarios (3/3) RISES-AM-Responses to coastal climate change: Innovative Strategies for high End Scenarios -Adaptation and Mitigation • Focus • Impacts, vulnerability, adaptation in coastal areas • Sealevelrise, stormsurges, otherclimate change impacts • Key elements • Diverse assessment cases: Deltas, estuaries, coastal cities • Accommodate and retreat adaptation strategies, other green options for coastal areas Duration: 36 Months – Consortium of 12 partners, led by the University of Catalonia

  6. Economics of adaptationto climate change ECONADAPT Economics of climate change adaptation in Europe • Aim: User-orientated methodologies and evidence relating to economic appraisal criteria to inform the choice of adaptation actions • Focus on a set of methodological challenges • Long time scales (discounting and future preferences), Adaptive capacity in economic analysis, Uncertainty, future learning and decision-making, Scaling and transfer (Micro → Macro), Treatment of systemic change • Set of case studies • Disaster risk management – pan European scale • Project appraisal for flood protection (Czech Republic) and port infrastructure (Spain) • Policy impact assessment of linkages between reformed CAP and ecosystem management in the EU • Macro-economic assessment of adaptation strategies in the EU • Economic appraisal of financial support for adaptation from the EU to developing countries • Toolbox on the economics of adaptation (economic analysts, policy support for non-economists) Duration: 36 Months – Consortium of 14 partners, led by the University of Bath

  7. Recently launched projects (October 2012) ToPDad/ BASE/ RAMSES/ Strategies, costs and impacts of adaptation to climate change • Tool-supported policy-development for regional adaptation (ToPDAd) -end September 2015 • Socioeconomic methods & tools for integrated assessments, focus on Energy, Transport, Tourism, Mid - (2010-2050) and long-(2050-2100) term strategy horizons • Framework for the next generation toolset • Bottom-up Climate Adaptation Strategies towards a Sustainable Europe (BASE) - end September 2016 • Case Study approach (20 cases), Novel model combinations for combining top-down and bottom-up analysis, Stakeholder engagement, Policy guidelines • Reconciling Adaptation, Mitigation and Sustainable Development for Cities (RAMSES) - end September 2017 • EU and international cities, full economic costs and benefits of adaptation, strategy development in a sustainability context http://www.topdad.eu/ http://base-adaptation.eu/ http://www.ramses-cities.eu/
