Dear CCCA-News subscriber,
the Climate Change Centre Austria (CCCA) is a coordinating body for the promotion of climate research in Austria, currently networking 25 Austrian institutions.
With its new web presence, CCCA aims to provide a comprehensive source of information for everyone interested in the topic of climate change, which will be kept continuously up to date (in the future also in English).
AAR14 Austrian Assessment Report Climate Change
The Austrian assessment report (Austrian Assessment Report 2014 – AAR14) is the result of the "Austrian Panel on Climate Change" (APCC) project, which was funded by the Climate and Energy Fund (duration June 2010 – October 2014).
Produced over three years of collaborative effort, this report provides an unprecedented, detailed scientific account — spanning more than 1,000 pages — of how climate change has already transformed Austria and how it will continue to do so. It also outlines wide-ranging measures for mitigation and adaptation, making it a valuable guide for decision-makers and the general public.
The public presentation of the report received widespread media coverage. A selection of press responses can be found at http://www.ccca.ac.at/de/service/presse/
Further information about the report and project, as well as the free download of the report, can be found on the CCCA website at <link de klimawissen apcc>www.ccca.ac.at/de/klimawissen/apcc/
