Welcome to the Environment and Sustainable Development action for "Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity" Generic activities: natural and technological hazards and earth observation technologies European network for research into global change The aim of the Key Action on Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity under the Environment Programme of the Directorate General for Research is to develop the scientific, technological and socio-economic basis and tools necessary for the study and understanding of changes in the environment. It emphasises global and regional environmental problems that may have a significant impact on Europe, such as climate change, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss or loss of habitats and fertile land. Priority is given to issues covered by international treaties or conventions where the European Community or its Member States are signatories. Integration and synthesis across global change problems are receiving particular attention. Since the start of the European Commission's Environment Programme under the 5th Framework Programme (1998-2002), the research covered by this Key Action has brought about significant improvement in our understanding of causes and trends in Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity. This Key Action covers a range of research projects which are providing an input to international research programmes. They also help to underpin EU policies related to environmental conventions and treaties such as Kyoto Protocol, Montreal Protocol, Convention on Biological Diversity, Desertification Convention and the Air Pollution Convention.

DEVELOPING ACTIVE LEARNING MODULES ON THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL CHANGE Where do these modules come from? T his project has developed ten teaching/learning modules through a collaborative process that involves module authors, participants in summer workshops, and project staff at Clark University. Designed for use in any introductory course that deals with human-environment relationships, the modules actively engage students in problem solving, challenge them to think critically, invite them to participate in the process of scientific inquiry, and involve them in cooperative learning. Brief descriptions of the modules follow. Each module consists of several units, each of which focuses on an aspect of the module's theme. The core of each unit is a variety of student activities that have been designed to be challenging but not baffling. The activities vary in type, in the time they require, in skill level assumed, and in the skills developed. They involve critical reading; data collection, assessment, interpretation, and analysis; map reading and interpretation; field trips; interviewing; role playing; and writing for particular audiences. Many activities link the student's own lives with processes of local, regional, and global change. Each unit comes with some background reading to introduce the topic. By engaging students in active inquiry, the module activities build student understanding of scientific method and of the interaction between science and policy, e.g., (1) the importance of specifying the assumptions underlying a model or an analytical approach; (2) how values affect assumptions; (3) how geographers use maps and other models to represent and analyze human-environment relations; (4) how geographers evaluate evidence about human-environment interactions; (5) how problems often have no single or easy answer and therefore how policy decisions usually involve weighing different and often conflicting kinds of evidence.

36. Pacific Institute: Global Change implications has recently come to dominate the discussion in the last few years over the environment. These include global climatic change, ozone depletion http://www.pacinst.org/global.html

Pacific Institute, 654 13th Street, Preservation Park, Oakland, CA 94612, U.S.A. Global Change Program Directors: Irving Mintzer and Peter H. Gleick A series of major problems with international implications has recently come to dominate the discussion in the last few years over the environment. These include global climatic change, ozone depletion, deforestation, and extinction of species. Growing efforts have been made by parts of the international community to understand and address these problems, and to develop long-term sustainable solutions. The Institute has long had a role in both research and policy on issues of global change because these problems lie precisely at the intersection of concerns over the environment, economic development, and international security. Beginning in the late 1980s, the Institute has pursued research on the regional implications of climate change for water resources and on developing estimates of greenhouse gas emissions under different circumstances. In the mid-1990s we completed a major assessment of the possible implications of climate change for the Colorado River basin, and held a series of workshops for policymakers and scientists throughout the western U.S. In 1996, the Pacific Institute began publishing a major research and policy newsletter on global change issues, Global Change Magazine . In 1997, we helped organize three workshops in developing countries to explore issues related to technology transfer and climate impacts. In 1998, we joined the effort to develop a National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.

Almanac of Policy Issues Home Search Archive Global Warming What's the greenhouse effect? Earth's greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon that helps regulate the temperature of our planet. Simply put, the sun heats the Earth and some of this heat, rather than escaping back to space, is trapped in the atmosphere by clouds and greenhouse gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. If all of these greenhouse gases were to suddenly disappear, our planet would be 60°F colder and uninhabitable. Is our planet warming? The global temperature record shows an average warming of about 1.1°F over the past century . This warming has been recorded in both the northern and southern hemispheres, and over the oceans, with some areas substantially warmer and others actually cooler. The ten warmest years have occurred since 1983, with seven of them since 1990. Recent evidence shows the 20th century was the warmest in the last 1,000 years. The 1990s were the warmest decade and 1998 was the single warmest year of the past millennium. Are human activities responsible for the warming?
