Regional Climate Modelling: The Future for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation Research

With an international agreement to limit greenhouse gases remaining ever elusive, future impacts of climate change on human and natural systems are all but assured. The eventual magnitude of these impacts increases with each year that successful mitigation measures are not in place. Thus, the need for robust quantification of the risks posed to these systems due to climate change is becoming increasingly more urgent. Fundamental questions concerning the magnitude of the impacts and the time frames over which they occur need to be answered. With this knowledge, one can then ask: What adaptation options are available? And, when would an intervention need to occur to be successful? Read More
