When the global temperature increases - even a little at a time - the climate will eventually change and that can impact people, animals and ecosystems. Little things you do every day may contribute to the problem - the good news is that you can also help solve it!

IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICE - The information on this site is subject to a and a Global change, climate and biodiversity Forewarned is forearmed - a better understanding of global change problems such as climate, ozone depletion, loss of biodiversity and the disruption of ocean circulation is essential. G lobal change influences policies ranging from renewable energies to transport management, industrial emissions to forestry. This key action will provide a scientific, technological and socio-economic basis for strategies to address issues such as the effects of climate change, desertification and biodiversity loss. It will also form the foundation for European Union policies, and fulfil the EU's obligations stemming from international commitments to sustainable development. Research will be wide-ranging in scope, from ecosystem interactions between land, water, atmosphere and oceans to assessing the impact of human activities on the environment - and the changing environment's future impact on humanity - as well as improving observation and monitoring techniques.

en EUROPA European Commission Environment Contact ... Resources Climate Change Climate change is one of the greatest environmental, social and economic threats facing the planet. During the last century, the Earth's average surface temperature rose by around 0.6°C. Evidence is getting stronger that most of the global warming that has occurred over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities. In its Third Assessment Report, published in 2001, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projects that global average surface temperatures will rise by a further 1.4 to 5.8°C by the end of this century. This global temperature increase is likely to trigger serious consequences for humanity and other life forms alike, including a rise in sea levels of an estimated 9 to 88 cm by the end of this century, which will endanger coastal areas and small islands, and a greater frequency and severity of extreme weather events. Human activities that contribute to climate change include in particular the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, both of which cause emissions of carbon dioxide (CO

These things one ought to consider most attentively, and concerning the waters which the inhabitants use, whether they be marshy and soft, or hard and running from elevated and rocky situations, and then if saltish and unfit for cooking; and the ground, whether it be naked and deficient in water, or wooded and well-watered, and whether it lies in a hollow, confined situation or is elevated and cold... From these things he must proceed to investigate everything else. For if one knows all these things well, ... he cannot miss knowing, when he comes into a strange city, either the diseases peculiar to the place or the particular nature of the common diseases, or commit mistakes, as is likely to be the case provided one had not previously considered these matters. And in particular, as the season and year advances, he can tell what epidemic disease will attack the city, ... and what each individual will be in danger of experiencing from the change of regimen.
