Bottom-up Climate Adaptation Strategies towards a Sustainable Europe (BASE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Climate change can disrupt ecological, social and economic systems, with some regions and sectors suffering significantly. Therefore, adaptation plays a paramount role in responding to climate change. Progress has been made, but there are still important obstacles. Knowledge of the benefits and costs of adaptation is sparse, unsystematic and unevenly distributed across sectors and countries. Plan ...

Impacts of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and Enhancing Carbon Stocks (I-REDD+)
Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2014,
At COP15 in Copenhagen one outcome was a commitment to develop a mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and enhancing carbon stocks (REDD+). There is, however, only a limited research basis for such a mechanism particularly with regard to the need for understanding and monitoring the impact of REDD+ activities on climate effectiveness, cost effici ...

Keys to understanding the history of World War 2 and its material legacy are the memories of eye-witnesses. Combining both physical and intellectual heritage offers important sources of information ...

"Climate Change, Hydro-conflicts and Human Security" (CLICO)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
"Media headlines are dominated by the prospect of regional water wars. Clearly, climate change poses several threats to human security; in particular, hydro-climatic hazards such as droughts and floods have a considerable capacity to exacerbate social tensions, intra- and inter-state conflict. Still, cooperation often trumps conflict. There are surprisingly few peer-reviewed studies rigorously add ...

Reconciling Biodiversity and Development through Direct Payments for Conservation (REDIRECT)
Start date: Jul 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
This project will help to meet the vital need for empirical research into the theory and practice of Payments for Environmental Services (PES). PES approaches to conservation have become rapidly more popular in the last few years, driven by compelling evidence of their effectiveness compared with indirect approaches to financing conservation. This research will exploit a current opportunity to bui ...
