FINESSI – Integrated assessment modelling of global change impacts and adaptation
Hintergrund und Ziele
FINESSI is a three year project for developing a computer-based evaluation framework for investigating the effects of global change on different natural and managed systems in Finland.
Objectives:
- Development of a web-based modelling framework for estimating the impacts of a range of global change scenarios on several natural and managed systems in Finland along with their attendant uncertainties
- Stimulation of new research into the modelling of global change impacts on biological species distributions using the abundant empirical information held at the Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE)
- Use of hydrological, water quality, forest management and possibly other models to investigate impacts and possible adaptation measures under a changing environment
- Provision of a tool for the dissemination of research results and a pedagogical device for displaying indicators of current and future environmental change in Finland and estimated impacts and adaptations in selected impact areas.

Schritte im Prozess zur Anpassung an den Klimawandel
Schritt 1: Klimawandel verstehen und beschreiben
Ansatz und Ergebnisse
FINESSI makes use of global change scenarios developed in the FINSKEN project of the Finnish Research Programme on Global Change (FIGARE). These scenarios are based on the IPCC SRES scenarios.
