FOUR QUESTIONS Is global climate changing? Why is global climate changing? What impact is this having in Europe? How will climate change in the future?

This co-operative cluster of projects brings together European expertise in the fields of climate modelling, regional downscaling, statistics, and impacts analysis to explore future changes in extreme events in response to global warming.PRUDENCE will provide high-resolution climate change scenarios for for Europe using regional climate models. PRUDENCE project summaryPRUDENCE project summarySTARDEX will provide improved downscaling methodologies for the construction of scenarios of changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme events. STARDEX project summarySTARDEX project summaryMICE uses information from climate models to explore future changes in extreme events across Europe in response to global warming.

FOUR QUESTIONS Is global climate changing? Why is global climate changing? What impact is this having in Europe? How will climate change in the future?

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Second assessment report 1998: –‘the balance of evidence suggests a discernible human influence on global climate’ Third assessment report 2001: –‘there is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities’

FOUR QUESTIONS Is global climate changing? Why is global climate changing? What impact is this having in Europe? How will climate change in the future?
