Climate change track in river floods in Europe
A holistic perspective on changing river flood risk in Europe is provided. Economic losses from floods have increased, principally driven by the expanding exposure of assets at risk. Climate change (i.e. observed increase in precipitation intensity, decrease of snowpack and other observed climate changes) might already have had an impact on floods. However, no gauge-based evidence had been foun...
متن کاملGlobal warming increases the frequency of river floods in Europe
EURO-CORDEX (Coordinated Downscaling Experiment over Europe), a new generation of downscaled climate projections, has become available for climate change impact studies in Europe. New opportunities arise in the investigation of potential effects of a warmer world on meteorological and hydrological extremes at regional scales. In this work, an ensemble of EURO-CORDEX RCP8.5 scenarios is used to ...
متن کاملClimate change impacts in Europe
The PESETA research project integrates a set of high-resolution climate change projections and physicalmodels into an economic modelling framework to quantify the impacts of climate change on vulnerableaspects of Europe. Four market impact categories are considered (agriculture, river floods, coastal systems,and tourism) and one non-market category (human health). Considering the ma...
متن کاملClimate Change and Biodiversity in Europe
Climate change is already affecting European biodiversity, as demonstrated by changes in species’ ranges and ecosystem boundaries, shifts in reproductive cycles and growing seasons, and changes to the complex ways in which species interact (predation, pollination, competition and disease). These effects vary between regions and ecosystems. Strategies adopted to mitigate or adapt to climate chan...
متن کاملClimate change and infectious diseases in Europe.
Concerted action is needed to address public health issues raised by climate change. In this Review we discuss infections acquired through various routes (arthropod vector, rodent, water, food, and air) in view of a changing climate in Europe. Based on an extensive review of published work and expert workshops, we present an assessment of the infectious disease challenges: incidence, prevalence...
