ECCE - A Preliminary Assessment of the Impacts in Spain due to the Effects of Climate Change
Hintergrund und Ziele
The project is a preliminary and comprehensive assessment of the possible climate effects for the various ecosystems and socio-economic sectors in Spain.
Laufzeit
Untersuchungsregion/-raum
Land
- Spanien
Schritte im Prozess zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel
Schritt 1: Klimawandel verstehen und beschreiben
Ansatz und Ergebnisse
Mostly, IPCC scenarios were used. In some cases, the projections were also based on regional climate models such as PROMES.
Parameter (Klimasignale)
- Höhere mittlere Temperaturen
Zeithorizont
- langfristig = bis 2100 und darüber hinaus
Schritt 2a: Risiken erkennen und bewerten (Klimafolgen/-wirkungen)
Analyseansatz
The climate change impacts on different ecosystems and their subsystems are explored, as are the consequences for different sectors of the economy and the risk of climate-related natural disasters such as floods, forest fires and landslides.
Describe here, which approach for the vulnerability analysis, risks and/or chances is/was used within your project and which results emerged from it or are expected
Ansatz und Risiken / Chancen
Vulnerability was analysed to different levels of detail for different areas.
Dringlichkeit und Priorisierung von Anpassungsbedarf
An urgent need for action was identified in all areas. Despite great uncertainties remaining about the details of the climate change impacts, these must not be used as an excuse not to address adaptation and mitigation measures that will help avoid the worst consequences and biggest risks.
Schritt 3: Maßnahmen entwickeln und vergleichen
Maßnahmen und/oder Strategien
Recommendations for adaptation measures will be made for all areas for which the climate change impacts are considered.
Zeithorizont
- 2071–2100 (ferne Zukunft)
