As a tool to fight long run changes in climate the European Union explicitly introduced the emission trading scheme (EU …, results underline the limited impact of weather on the interconnection of these markets. …

The impacts of climate change on human systems depend not only on the level of emissions but also on how inherently … vulnerable these systems are to the changing climate. The large uncertainties over future development and structure of societies … and economies mean that the assessment of climate change efects is complex. One way to deal with this complexity is by …

undertaken progressively. The sudden implementation of geoengineering, together with the sharp jump in temperature induced, may … disturb climate equilibrium and fragile ecosystems. Furthermore, the availability of geoengineering will exacerbate …

We describe a method to represent the results of climate simulation models with analogues. An analogue to a city A is a … city B whose climate today represents A's simulated future climate. Climates were characterized and compared non … climate of 12 European cities at the end of the century under an A2 climate change scenario. We used two datasets produced …
