Climate Change: Scenarios, Impacts and Policy

Second Annual Conference Venice, Italy

The Conference aims to involve scientists, researchers and policy makers, whose activities are focused on different aspects of climate change, its impacts and related policies.

The main objectives of the Conference are to:

Develop a platform for sharing and discussing between the different disciplines that study climate dynamics and their interactions with the environment and society;

Promote a constructive and transdisciplinary dialogue between scientists, policy makers, service providers and the general public;

Foster scientific dialogue on mitigation policies and sustainable growth;

Deepen the understanding of climate change impacts and the best adaptation strategies.

 

MAIN THEMES

Advances in Climate Science

  • Theories, observations, and models of the dynamics of atmospheric and oceanic fluids: climate change, rapid environmental changes, forecasts and projections, mesoscale processes and extreme events
  • Strategies, platforms and frameworks regarding the management, analysis and mining of large volumes of climate data
  • HPC core technologies, parallel programming paradigms, algorithms and new numerical approaches for high performance climate models

Impacts on ecosystem services and on cultural heritage

  • Analysis, projections, models and evaluation of climate change impact and extremes on natural ecosystems and agriculture.
  • Strategies and instruments for the management of water resources.
  • Implications of climate change on cultural heritage preservation, analysis and assessment of the vulnerability of cultural heritage related to climate change and potential management strategies.

Mitigation

  • Plan and evaluate strategies and policies for mitigation.
  • Climate change and urban policies: implications, feedback and evaluation of strategies and public choices.
  • Evaluation of the effectiveness of mitigation technology options.

Hydrological risk

  • Impacts of land-use and land cover changes on hydrological risks
  • Climate adaptation and risk mitigation strategies to reduce hydrological risks

Food security

  • Implications of climate change on agricultural production and food security.

Human health

  • Assess the impacts of climate extremes and climate change on public health.

Adaptation

  • Planning and assessment of strategies and policies to adapt to the impacts generated by climate change.
  • Analysis and assessment of risk and vulnerability to climate change.
  • Measures for assessment of the costs of adaptation.
  • Instruments and policies aimed at addressing future impacts of climate change and increasing adaptive capacity.
