Climate Change - Impacts and responses

Drawing on data from the recent European Environment Agency report Impacts of Climate Change in Europe, and from other information sources this video news release outlines the likely future impacts of climate change if the current rate of increase of global greenhouse gas emissions continues unchecked, and considers strategies for the future.

Contributors from the European Environment Agency, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the European Commission and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, explain how attempts to mitigate future emissions must form part of a wider response. Targets need to be set for the future. Measures must also be taken to adapt to climate change which has already occurred.
