GLOBAL CHANGE ANDECOSYSTEMS
OBJECTIVES
• To strengthen the capacity to understand, detect and predict global change and to develop strategies for prevention, mitigation and adaptation
• To preserve the ecosystems and protect bio-diversity through common and integrated approaches
9
FP3 & 4:Research on ecosystem functioning and environment protection technologies
FP5: Integration of the environmental dimension in research; more attention to climate, water, coastal integration and urban dynamics
FP6: Sustainability to be integrated in all areas of research, especially Energy, Transport and Agriculture
THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
From research on environmental protection to integration of sustainability into research
10
RESEARCH NEEDED TO
• advance knowledge on the impact of greenhouse emissions and atmospheric pollutants on the ecosystem, including the water cycle and biological diversity
• create new tools for Sustainable Development impact assessment of EU policies
• include aspects relative to the thresholds of sustainability
• implement new methodologies to sustainable management of land use, especially for agriculture, forest and coastal management
