The scientific content
Milestone on our mutual understanding of the scientific scope of CIRCLE partner programmes
09.02.2007| Folie 3
Conclusions
different national research landscapes and geographical settings determine different scientific foci
still the majority of programmes puts emphasis on natural sciences, BUT shift is visible, most new programmes embrace socio-economic sciences
integration of adaptation measures gets more and more important
builds base for “complementarity search” leading towards joint/transnational activities

Conclusions
for most cases: administrative settings allow transnational cooperation
some administrative problems to be solved for joint/transnational activities: schedules of the programme (frequency of calls) common evaluation procedure mechanism on final decisions for funding handling of common budgets
BUT for most of the programmes an internationalisation via ERA-Net is most welcome, so that “hurdles” will be overcome

Country-wise
Countries show very different approaches The classical procedure in research related to
adaptation measures should be: Starting phase of impact assessments for certain
sectors and/or regions Full national impact assessment (regularly updated) Derived from impact assessment:
adaptation strategy (top-down/bottom-up) Last step: national regionalised adaptation plan(s) for
all relevant sectors

KvR – Klimaat voor Ruimte and NRP CC KvR is getting more and more from impacts towards adaptation
measures with a focus on land use and planning KvR is just starting now, while the former programme NRP CC
(mainly focussed on climate impacts) has been finished

Germany
DEKLIM and klimazwei DEKLIM, the large climate research programme with 39m EUR
budget has been finished more or less (with some remaining projects still running in 2006)
DEKLIM: Improving the understanding of the climate system including anthropogenic influences; Reducing uncertainties in analysis and forecasting; Developing and deriving strategies for dealing with climate change
The new national research programme (klimazwei) will go much more towards adaptation strategies

Sweden
Swedish Climate Modelling Resource(SCMR, former SWECLIM) and COPE SCMR: 2003 – 2005 (phase II) 9m EUR budget Main focus are climate models and climate scenarios.
But SCMR encompasses as well meteorology, hydrology and oceanography; the work is conducted in co-operation with a broad range of user and impact study areas
COPE: 2001 – 2005 Awareness on climate impacts, policy issues,
communication, legal aspects of impacts and adaptation 1.8m EUR

Finland
FINADAPT + the Academies’ project programme on climate change
Has set some important benchmarks for national adaptation strategies
Maybe one more word: No other European country has yet a national adaptation strategy. So, this is unique!
Next might be the UK

CIRCLE observers (grey)
UK, Ireland, Denmark, Poland and Russian Federation act as observers within CIRCLE
Their programmes/contacts are described in the CIRCLE country report as well
It is obvious that eastern and south-eastern Europe is still some kind of white gap on our CIRCLE-landscape Due to only very few existing national programmes Due to still lacking research infrastructure Due to the fact that we received no responses in many
countries We will work on it! For most EEC countries we have
established at least some contacts

Non-CIRCLE member Spain and new CIRCLE observer Switzerland
In Spain, the ECCE project published recently an 800 pages preliminary impact assessment for Spain (http://www.mma.es/oecc/en_impactos2.htm)
In Switzerland, the NCCR-climate programme produces very valuable output mainly on impact assessments and climate modelling, while the OCCC acts as some kind of “national IPCC” for the Swiss government

CCIAV-related projects in EU-FP5
Within FP5 some 44 projects in the field of climate change (impacts, vulnerability and adaptation)
Among them very important projects founding the base of our common knowledge on climate impacts in Europe and beyond(e.g. PRUDENCE, ATEAM, STARDEX,…)
But within FP5 only three projects tackling adaptation measures directly
09.02.2007| Folie 22
adaptation-related projects in EU-FP5
ATLANTIS: Atlantic sea level rise – adaptation towards worst case scenarios
DINAS-COAST: vulnerability of coastal zones on different scales including an adaptation assessment module
and
CCASHH: Climate Change and adaptation strategies for human health in Europehttp://www.euro.who.int/ccashh
09.02.2007| Folie 23
Within FP6 some 28 projects in the field of climate change (impacts, vulnerability and adaptation)
Again very important projects which improve(d) the impact assessment base on different scales and for different sectors(e.g. ENSEMBLES, EURO-LIMPACS,…)
But just one project tackling adaptation: NEWATER: adaptation of water management
of the European river catchments under uncertainty and climate change
CCIAV-related projects in EU-FP6

Adaptation effort for EU-FP7?
Two ways:1. “Just do it”-approach with acknowledgement to uncertainties
and regular updates of the underlying impact assessments. This might be a bit risky, when certain patters switch (like e.g. gulf stream problem), but it comes in time. (like FINADAPT)
2. “be safe”-approach with putting furthermore emphasis on impact assessments and waiting until uncertainties are negligible. PROBLEM: It might become too late!
I prefer 1st approach much more, because research is obliged to deliver suggestions towards policy from rather sound existing impact assessments
And for this we urgently need transnational cooperation!
