(FP7) GLOBAL- IQ

Impacts Quantification of global changes (SSH-2010-2.1-3, Analysis of the impacts of global changes). European Commission, DG Research and Innovation, 7th Framework Programme.

Ο στόχος του Global IQ είναι να προσφέρει σημαντική πρόοδο στην ανάληψη πολιτικής δράσης τόσο για τον μετριασμό των επιπτώσεων της κλιματικής αλλαγής όσο και για τον εντοπισμό των πιο συναφών στρατηγικών προσαρμογής στον περιβαλλοντικό τομέα.

World societies are experiencing large social, economic and environmental transformations. These transformations are usually described under the heading of ‘global change’, to emphasize the increasing interactions between them.

The objective of the GLOBAL IQ project is three-fold:

• to provide significant advances in the estimation of socio-economic impacts of global challenges – at Global, European and regional scale;

• to identify optimal adaptation strategies;

• to evaluate total costs and the optimal mix of adaptation and mitigation against global changes.
