Adaptive Strategies to Mitigate the Impacts of Climate Change on European Freshwater Ecosystems (REFRESH)
Date du début: 1 févr. 2010, Date de fin: 31 janv. 2014,
Understanding how freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate change is essential for the development of policies and implementation strategies needed to protect aquatic and riparian ecosystems. The future status of freshwater ecosystems is however, also dependent on changes in land-use, pollution loading and water demand. In addition the measures that need to be taken to restore freshwat ...

Hunting for Sustainability (HUNT)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
Biodiversity conservation increasingly takes place outside protected areas in multiple-use landscapes. Success in achieving biodiversity objectives is closely linked to the extent to which conservation can be integrated with the cultural, social and economic objectives and aspirations of people. Beliefs, perceptions, attitudes and preferences about biodiversity are central to the decisions made by ...

"Governance, Infrastructure, Lifestyle Dynamics and Energy Demand: European Post-Carbon Communities" (GILDED)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2012,
"In Europe, about 35% of all primary energy use and 40% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from private households. While technological innovation can make low-carbon energy sources economically and environmentally viable, their impact in reducing carbon-intensive energy use will depend critically on broad public and political commitment to such a reduction. GILDED will target socio-economic, cu ...

Reproductive effects of environmental chemicals in females (REEF)
Date du début: 1 mai 2008, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2011,
"It is increasingly evident that in-utero exposure to environmental chemicals (ECs), including endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and heavy metals, disturbs reproductive development in wildlife, domestic species and humans. Current thinking is that exposure to ECs is part of the mechanism driving increasing incidences of reproductive dysfunction in males and females, the latter characterised by ...
