Besides, heat waves will become more intense (hotter) and especially night-time temperatures will increase strongly, making it hard for citizens to recover from the heat of the day. Transboundary cooperation is addressed within the thematic area international cooperation. More than half of the heat waves will be stronger than the extreme heat wave of 2003 by the end of the century. The achievement indicators are intended to measure the level of implementation of the proposed actions. Under the guidance of Global Framework, IPMA already established protocols and data exchange between meteorological services and other organizations, in addition to product development and service delivery, driven by a desire to improve access and benefit of the users of climate information. The information contained in Madeira's Regional Adaptation Strategy such as climate projections and sector vulnerabilities can be easily accessed on a dedicated website. It included several activities such as training on the use of media to communicate science, educational materials with tutorials for teachers on how to introduce media contents for climate change awareness, workshops and labs for collaborative content production, online platform for experience sharing and a final contest for schools to present their best ideas for mitigation and adaptation of climate change. Après trois ans d’études, le bilan du The NAS governance includes also mechanisms of coordination across administration levels within two perspectives: first by having the subnational administration (RAA, RAM and ANMP) representatives as elements of the NAS Coordination Group, and second by having a thematic area dedicated to spatial planning with the main objective of mainstreaming adaptation in Territorial Management and Policy Instruments at all scales relevant to a coherent implementation of the NAS. 7585 - 2610-124 Amadora, Portugal, Tel. In this way, the implementation of adaptation measures is being assured by various energy policies and instruments. Le changement climatique, la perte de biodiversité et la déforestation montrent déjà les effets dévastateurs dans ces grandes catastrophes dont nous sommes témoins. Selon différentes études, d'ici la fin du siècle, la proportion de journées chaudes devrait augmenter jusqu'à 50 %, en particulier à l'intérieur des terres et à l'est du pays, et à court terme, le niveau moyen de la mer augmentera entre 17 et 25 centimètres. The annual number of days with a minimum temperature below 0°C (frost days) can be higher than 50 in the northern centre. The energy sector addressed mainstreaming of adaptation by producing the "Guide to Climate Validation in the Energy Sector" providing guidelines for sectoral plans, legislation and regulations. Ce rapport présente une nouvelle évaluation quantitative détaillée des conséquences du changement climatique sur la croissance économique dans les décennies à venir. This structure aims to advise and provide scientific support to the activities of the NAS, including the support and advising to the Coordination Group, and also it aims to follow the progress of NAS implementation and to suggest improvements. Additionally the Horizon 2020 is a very important source for funding adaptation research projects. It is within this thematic area that activities such as reporting to the UNFCCC and to the European Commission are held. The number of nights increases significantly: from an average of 7 now to a projection of 60 tropical nights (under the high-end scenario) by the end of the century. Santos e P. Miranda (editores), Projeto SIAM II, Gradiva, Lisboa, 2006, Alterações Climáticas em Portugal. Le développe-ment aide les pays à se diversifier en délaissant les secteurs trop exposés, améliore l’accès à la santé, à l’éducation et à l’eau, et ré-duit la pauvreté. changement climatique doit agir avant tout dans les domaines suivants : Développement économique et institutionnel. Promote mainstreaming of adaptation into sectoral policies: the development of adaptation is guided towards its mainstreaming into sectoral policies and territorial management instruments setting a more effective framework. The last 30 years have been particularly dry in mainland Portugal. definition of actions to be developed until 2020. Sur la côte occidentale du Portugal, l’Estrémadure, avec ses collines et ses petits massifs, assure la transition avec les paysages du Sud, aux reliefs plus bas. This was the case for the following sectors addressed then: In some cases, such as the biodiversity sector, targets and means of verification of the implementation of measures were set, as well as the factors that may condition positively or negatively their achievement. Changement climatique Although our industry is an intensive user of energy, it is also one of the most efficient, and we make significant and growing use of renewable energy Nous sommes prêts à jouer notre rôle dans la limitation de l'augmentation de la température mondiale, bien en dessous de deux degrés, comme convenu dans l'Accord de Paris. On observe ainsi une hausse des températures moyennes en In general, each intermunicipal area have the respective association of municipalities working on this issue. Within the scope of the research and innovation thematic area, there is ongoing work to prepare an Agenda for national priorities of research and innovation on Climate Change, developed by the Scientific Panel, under the joint coordination of the Foundation for Science and Technology and APA. Bingo (Bringing INnovation to onGOing water management) - A better future under climate change, RESCCUE (RESilience to cope with Climate Change in Urban arEas) - a multisectorial approach focusing on water, PLACARD (PLAtform for Climate Adaptation and Risk reDuction). D’autres signes révélateurs du changement climatique, tels que l’élévation du niveau de la mer, la température et l’acidification de l’océan, ainsi que la fonte de la banquise et des glaciers continuent de se manifester, alors que les Improve the level of knowledge about climate change: basis for the development of the strategy, focusing on the need for research, collect information, consolidate, and communicate accordingly to the target audience. Furthermore, its identification resulted from the screening and prioritization of the various adaptation measures listed in sectoral, municipal and inter-municipal planning exercises. 15) submitted. The Azores comprises nine islands. PDF | On Apr 1, 2010, L. Schmidt and others published Portugal: changement climatique, eau et société | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate For the moderate scenario the increase in the number of heat waves is milder, but even in this scenario, an average of 5 heat waves are projected for the end of the twenty-first century. Recent climate change has exacerbated this event making it at least 1°C warmer than similar events since 1950 (16). L'impact du réchauffement climatique sur la péninsule ibérique est indéniable. Porto Santo Island is located roughly 40 km Northwest of Madeira and has a maximum altitude of 517 m (Pico do Facho) (1). From among the weather parameters, precipitation registers the broadest variability. The Common Strategic Framework is implemented at national level by several national Programmes (Portugal 2020) with the Operational Programme on Sustainability and Resource Use Efficiency (PO SEUR) and the Rural Development Programme (PDR 2020) standing out as the most significant in matters related to adaptation action. It summarized the conclusions of the sectoral reports produced within the scope of the previous NAS, some of which counted with sectoral stakeholders engagement initiatives. The precipitation regime in Portugal can be explained by two different seasonal atmospheric mechanisms. The agriculture sector has stablished a framework on adaptive management by preparing the Programme AGRI_ADAPT 2020 covering: Additionally, studies were promoted leading to the publication of "Guidelines for the sustainable management of soil (agricultural and forestry)" (2018). First because at intermunicipal level they cover almost all the national territory, and second because of their recent elaboration (some still are ongoing). The amplitude is overwhelming larger, reaching values that have not been observed in the historical period 1971-2000. Until 2016 the geographical priorities of the Portuguese cooperation in the field of climate change were focused on the PALOP (Portuguese-speaking African countries) countries and Timor-Leste, all of whom belong to the group of the most vulnerable countries (Least Developed Countries, Small Island Developing States and/or in Africa). Under a high-end scenario of climate change, many future summer days at the end of this century will be heat wave days, particularly in Barcelona, Cáceres and Sevilha (13). Les vagues de chaleur de cet été et les phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes ont battu de nouveaux records climatiques en Europe et ont, une fois de plus, renforcé l’importance de l’adaptation au changement climatique. A reduction in rainfall is projected particularly in the spring and autumn (1,7,11). Besides the local governments, most local authorities are involved in campaigns to improve resilience and awareness, particularly regarding forest fires, floods and heat waves. 2005 was the driest of the last 78 years, followed by 2007 and 2004. This report compile the impacts and vulnerabilities of the sectors, the barriers for adaptation, and the adaptation measures. As for the medium term approach, the NAP will also constitute a guideline but for the purposes of: Regarding the sub-national level both autonomous regions of Azores and Madeira have their own regional strategies in place dealing on adaptation issues. The political support is essentially guaranteed by the CIAAC, a structure created for the monitoring of climate policy and sectoral policies with an impact on national goals in the field of air and climate change, taking into account the synergies between these two themes. The introduction of 6 cross-cutting thematic areas (research, financing, international cooperation, communication/dissemination, spatial planning and water resources) in the governance structure provided the common ground where the sectoral groups improve articulation. To what extent heat waves or cold waves may change not only depends on the scenario of climate change we choose or the time slice in the future, it also depends on the definition of a heat wave or a cold spell. A systematic increase in temperature in the order of 3-7ºC is estimated for the summer season in continental Portugal in the 21st century, affecting in particular inland northern and central regions. During the transition seasons Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) the amount of precipitation is highly variable (1,9). CC), Portuguese Sea and Atmosphere Institute (IPMA), SNIRH - National System of Information on Water Resources, climate projections and sector vulnerabilities, Impacts, vulnerability and adaptation assessments, Last reporting on Adaptation (Art. This tailor-made definition allows for an assessment of regional differences in heat wave and cold spell changes. Some of these studies are still underway such as the "Assessment of water needs for the agricultural sector (agriculture, livestock and agribusiness) in the context of climate change" and "Development of a national soil information system". Portuguese Environment Agency with the cooperation of Ecoprogresso – Environment and Development Consultants, SA (2009), Kostopoulou and Jones (2005); Vicente-Serrano and Cuadrat-Prats (2007), both in: Costa and Soares (2009). Sans les causer directement, le réchauffement climatique, en augmentant la probabilité, la durée et l’intensité des feux de forêt, amplifie ce sinistre phénomène. the Common Strategic Framework 2014-2020 (ERDF; ESF; CF; EAFRD; EFMAF). Climate Change in Portugal: Scenarios, Impacts, and Adaptation Measures - SIAM (2002) This object has been archived because its content is outdated. Regarding the objective of mainstreaming of adaptation, the revision of Programme on National Spatial Planning Policy (PNPOT) is in final stage of approval. The Azores comprises nine islands. Likewise, a cold spell is defined as the period of, at least, three consecutive days in which the minimum temperature during a day is equal or below a certain threshold temperature, where this threshold is defined as the 10 % lowest day temperatures during the 31 days around a certain day over the period 1986-2005. The season between September and March is predominantly rainy, characterized by the frequent passage of depression disturbances related to the polar front. Le changement climatique est un défi qui nous incite à améliorer la conception des produits, à réduire l'empreinte carbone des clients, à améliorer l'efficacité de la production et à informer sur la manière dont nous investissons à The energy sector also relies on the report produced within the previous NAS in spite of the initiatives to reassess the work developed. Cette ressource pourra servir de support pour … This was done for 2071–2100 compared with 1961–2000. Particularly aiming the NAS objective of implement adaptation measures, a NAP is being prepared (in final stage of political approval) where eight adaptation action lines are defined with direct intervention in the territory and infrastructures, and another complementary line of action of transversal character. Although Portugal has never had a specific research programme dedicated to Climate Change, over the past decade, the Foundation for Science and Technology, has launched calls for research proposals in all scientific domains, including Climate Change. Le changement climatique 2 • 3sommaire glossaire introduction Changement climatique : DU CONSTAT À L’ACTION Le climat est en train de changer. See more information on subnational level in section "Engaging Stakeholders: participation and capacity building" / "Governance". The progresses on the economy sector are mainly registered on the sub-sector tourism. As for the thematic area "research and innovation" the interface between science and policy is assured by promoting national science and knowledge in relevant areas for a coherent implementation of the NAS. Similar changes for 2071-2100 with respect to 1971-2000 were projected with high-resolution regional climate models, under a moderate (RCP4.5 scenario) and high-end scenario (RCP8.5) of climate change (14). For the Azores case, a regional plan is planned to be approved in 2019 in order to operationalize the regional strategy on climate change. The first financial mechanism addressing adaptation was AdaPT Programme (EEA Grants 2009-2014 and Environmental Fund) which was built based on the needs identified on the first NAS progress report. This reduction is statistically significant; it spans from less than 20 % in the north to 40 % in the south in the intermediate seasons, and is above 50 % in the largest portion of mainland in summer. Additionally, there is a significant trend on capacitation of municipalities and inter-municipalities into adaptive management through local adaptation strategies and/or plans. Entre 2030 et 2050, on s'attend à 300 000 décès supplémentaires par an dus au climat. Les causes du changement climatique; Les effets du changement climatique; L'action de l'UE. » Pour Mgr Sorondo, argentin comme le pape : « De la The highest point of the island is Pico Ruivo (1,862 m). This concern is addressed through the Scientific Panel and the thematic area dedicated to research and innovation. This climate portal has more than 40 climate variables available on the website aggregated in the following groups: Additionally, the National Authority of Civil Protection has a national database on disaster response and losses since 2006 and publishes that information on the yearbooks of civil protection events. Warming is highest for the summer: +0.2 - 0.4°C per decade along the Northwestern- and Southwestern coast, and +0.4 - 0.5°C per decade along the Southern coast (12). Over 100,000 Portuguese translations of English words and phrases. Changes in the maximum and minimum temperature distributions and associated changes in the likelihood of extreme events have been studied for the future (2071–2100) compared with 1961–1990 (based on simulation data for IPCC B2 and A2 scenarios from the PRUDENCE project). Model projections are more variable for the centre and south in the winter season within this same period. These three instruments were prepared in articulation with the NAS framework and are scheduled to be published in 2019. This last report will be an important input to guide the revision of the NAS. In this respect, Portugal has been implementing in Timor-Leste since 2013, together with GIZ and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), the EU support programme for Climate Change, which aims at contributing to the sustainable well-being of rural communities in Timor-Leste and strengthening the capacity of people living in selected sub-districts and vulnerable to climate change to address the effects of climate change through the sustainable management of natural resources and the improvement of their life choices by using local development mechanisms. Additionally, the Regional Programmes for Forest Planning, currently being elaborated, will integrate climate scenarios and will reflect the implications of climate change. In this project several training events for local officers led to the development of 27 Local Adaptation Strategies. In Terceira island the average annual precipitation varies between 1,000 mm and 3,400 mm (1). From July to December 2009, the Play to Stop – Europe for climate campaign will encourage young people from around Europe to get more involved in fighting global warming. Le changement climatique nuit à nos communautés, et les plus pauvres sont les premiers à subir les conséquences les plus lourdes des catastrophes environnementales. In the remaining months the anticyclone’s influence reduces precipitation (1). The sectors addressed, particularly in the first NAS, were based on the ones that were object of the comprehensive multi-sectoral national climate change impacts and vulnerabilities assessments undertaken in 2002 and 2006 by the SIAM projects. The lowest island (Graciosa) has a maximum elevation of 402 m, whereas Pico has the highest point of the Azores and of Portugal (2351 m). Jusqu’en 2022, le long des côtes chiliennes et de l’Atlantique sud, ses équipes ausculteront les réactions des microbiomes, ces ensembles complexes composés d’une multitude de micro-organismes impliqués dans la production d’oxygène ou la pompe à carbone, face au réchauffement de la planète.
