  1. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS Climate Change Research supported by the EC Framework Programmes DrGeorgios AMANATIDISEnvironment DirectorateResearch DG, European Commission CLARIS 1st year project meeting, Bologna, 7-9 July 2005

  2. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS The Historical Perspective FP3 & 4: Research on ecosystem functioning, climate and environment protection technologies FP5: Integration of the environmental dimension in research; more attention to climate change, water, coastal integration and urban dynamics FP6: Sustainability to be integrated in all areas of research, especially Energy, Transport and Agriculture FP7: Sustainable management of the environment and its resources, functioning of climate and the earth system, development of new technologies, tools and services

  3. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS FP5 (1999-2002)Climate Research Over 180 research projects funded in areas (budget: 250 M€) Climate change prediction Climate dynamics and abrupt changes Interactions between ecosystems and carbon/nitrogen cycle Atmospheric composition Change Stratospheric ozone depletion Mitigation and adaptation European contribution to global observation systems Natural hazards research Contribution to IGBP, WCRP, IHDP and IPCC

  4. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS Some pertinent results of FP5 DEMETER: Capability demonstrated to predict seasonal/interannual climate variations – implications for energy, agriculture, tourism and health EPICA: Ice coring reached a depth of 3100m. Climate history record of past 900,000 years CARBOEUROPE: Carbon absorption capacity of Europe’s terrestrial biosphere reported to be about 7-12 % of the annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions GECS: Global scenarios analysing the impact of post-Kyoto policies under flexibility mechanisms for emission reduction TRADEOFF: Aviation cirrus clouds impacts on climate is three times larger than that from CO2 emissions alone

  7. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS The 6th Framework Programme • FP6 (2002-2006) is the main instrument of the EC to implement the European Research Area (ERA), a new approach for European and international collaboration. • Implementation mainly through new instruments: Integrated Projects (IP) and Networks of Excellence (NoE). • The FP6 is open to partners around the world.

  8. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, GLOBAL CHANGE AND ECOSYSTEMS The 3 interrelated pillars of FP6Priority 6: Sustainable Development, Global Change and Ecosystems Sustainable energy systems (810 M€): clean energy, energy savings, alternative motor fuels, fuel cells, energy carriers/transport/storage Sustainable surface transport (610 M€): environmentally friendly transport, interoperability, safety Global change and ecosystems (700 M€): greenhouse gas emissions, water cycle, biodiversity and ecosystems, natural disasters, land management, climate observation, complementary research, cross-cutting issues
