Ecosystem-based strategies and innovations in water governance networks for adaptation to climate change in Latin American Landscapes (EcoAdapt)
Date du début: 15 janv. 2012, Date de fin: 14 janv. 2016,
International debates on climate change highlight the need to foster adaptation planning in Latin America where significant impacts are expected. However, little progress has been made due to the difficulty of managing environmental dynamics characterized by deep uncertainties and potential tensions at various scales.EcoAdapt is built on the outcomes of two rounds on regional consultation with Lat ...

Methodology for Effective Decision-making on Impacts and AdaptaTION (MEDIATION) (MEDIATION)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 30 juin 2013,
"Assessment of climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation requires a combination of generic and context-specific knowledge. Currently, the availability of such knowledge in Europe is fragmented and incomplete. MEDIATION addresses this challenge through six activities: (i) analysis of the decision-making context; (ii) inventory, review and improvement of methods and metrics for impacts an ...

Full Costs of Climate Change (ClimateCost)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 31 juil. 2011,
There is increasing interest in the economics of climate change to inform policy on a) long-term targets, b) the costs of inaction (the economic effects of climate change), and c) the costs and benefits of adaptation. The objectives of this study are to advance knowledge across all three areas, i.e. the full economic costs of climate change, through the following tasks: 1. To identify and develop ...

Developing advanced Biorefinery schemes for integration into existing oil production/transesterification plants (SUSTOIL)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2010,
"An ambitious and achievable vision for 2030 is that up to 25% of the EU’s transport fuel needs could be meet by clean and CO2-efficient biofuel. To achieve this, it will be necessary to promote the transition towards “second generation biofuels” (e.g. lignocellulosic ethanol, syngas gas based fuels, pyrolysis oil based biofuels) but also support the implementation of currently available biofuels ...
