PEER Climate Change Initiative
|
On the 7th of May 2007 PEER published the joint statement "Climate change and sustainable development – an unprecedented challenge for the research community". In this statement the PEER centres proposed a joint initiative to analyse and explore novel approaches to mitigation and adaptation, inviting regional, national, European and global research partners to participate in this initiative. The aim is to build an open European platform that brings together expertise and exchanges information on the best approaches to mitigate and adapt to climate change.
As a follow-up of this statement, PEER has launched in November 2007 two joint projects:
Project 1
Comparative Analysis of European national adaptation strategies
(coordinated by Rob Swart, ALTERRA)
Project 2
Policy Integration, Coherence and Governance
(coordinated by Per Mickwitz, SYKE)
These projects are voluntarily organised by the PEER partners using mostly internal funding and being carried out in partnership with research organisations and government bodies beyond PEER. The projects aim at producing scientific evidence relevant for climate change policy marking.
