European air quality maps of ozone and PM10 for 2008 and their uncertainty analysis ETC/ACC Technical Paper 2010/10 — 24 Feb 2012

his paper provides an update of the European air quality concentrations of selected pollutants, their exceedance probability and population exposure estimates for another consecutive year, 2008. The analysis is based on interpolation of annual statistics of the 2008 observational data reported by EEA Member countries in 2009 and stored in AirBase . The paper presents the mapping results and includes an uncertainty analysis of the interpolated maps, building upon the latest methodological developments.

The Millennium Development Goals Report, 2011 - New York — 03 Feb 2012

The report is based on a master set of data that has been compiled by an Inter-Agency and Expert Group on MDG Indicators led by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, in response to the wishes of the General Assembly for periodic assessment of progress towards the MDGs. The Group comprises representatives of the international organizations whose activities include the preparation of one or more of the series of statistical indicators that were identified as appropriate for monitoring progress towards the MDGs, as reflected in the list below. A number of national statisticians and outside expert advisers also contributed.

Impacts of Climate Change on European Forests and Options for Adapation — 08 Nov 2011

This study compiles and summarizes the existing knowledge about observed and projected impacts of climate change on forests in Europe and reviews options for forests and forestry to adapt to climate change. It has been commissioned by the Directorate General for Agriculture and Rural Development of the European Commission as an initial exploration of this complex issue.

Projected crop yield changes — 08 Nov 2011

The objective of the PESETA-Agriculture study is to provide a European assessment of the potential effects of climate change on agricultural crop production and monetary estimates of these impacts for the European agricultural sector. The future scenarios incorporate socio economic projections derived from several SRES scenarios and climate projections obtained from global climate models and regional climate models.

Number of people flooded across Europe's coastal areas — 08 Nov 2011

Results of the physical impacts and adaptation cost assessment of sea-level rise for the European Union are presented for the A2 and B2 SRES socio-economic storylines and for a range of plausible sea-level rise scenarios, using data from the ECHAM4 and HADCM3 Global Climate Models (GCMs) models. In addition, to better understand the sensitivity of the results to the magnitude of sea-level rise, the full IPCC (2001) range of sea level rise predictions and scenarios of no climate change have also been modelled. These results are all derived using the global Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment (DIVA) tool for assessing regional to global coastal impacts and adaptation.
