| 2022, la strada avanti: negoziati, politiche e scienze del clima dopo Glasgow |
La Fondazione CMCC ha organizzato lo scorso 15 dicembre un webinar sul dopo COP26. Le decisioni prese alla COP26 inizieranno il percorso per rendere pienamente operativo |
|
|
quanto espresso dal Glasgow Climate Pact, mentre si attende la pubblicazione del rapporto IPCC, che avverrà nei primi mesi del 2022, per tutto quello che riguarda l’adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici, la mitigazione, le tecnologie e gli scenari socioeconomici. Guardiamo al 2022 con gli occhi di chi ha vissuto in prima persona i negoziati di Glasgow. |

| Neve alpina in riduzione, uno studio dell'EURAC |
Raccogliere dati meteorologici con pazienza e costanza prima o poi porta a buoni frutti. E' il caso dell'ampio studio coordinato dall'Eurac di Bolzano, che ha radunato oltre duemila serie di dati giornalieri di spessore nevoso nelle Alpi (dalla Francia, all'Italia, alla Slovenia) permettendo la prima |
|
|
analisi della nevosità a livello di intero arco alpino nell'ultimo mezzo secolo (1971-2019), pubblicata a marzo 2021 sulla rivista "The Cryosphere". Alla raccolta dati ha contribuito anche la Società Meteorologica Italiana con importanti serie storiche di innevamento delle Alpi occidentali.
Ecco alcuni risultati:
- circa l'85% delle località mostra tendenze di riduzione dell'innevamento durante questo periodo, più evidenti in primavera e al Sud delle Alpi (versante italiano);
- oltre allo spessore della neve, a ridursi è anche la sua durata: sul versante sudalpino la lunghezza della stagione innevata è diminuita in media di 24 giorni sotto i 1000 metri, e di 33 giorni tra 1000 e 2000 metri, ovvero oltre un mese (all'anno) di suolo innevato in meno. La neve tarda ad accumularsi in autunno e fonde più rapidamente in primavera, a svantaggio di ecosistemi, regimi idrologici ed economia legata agli sport invernali;
- la causa risiede non tanto in una diminuzione delle precipitazioni complessive, quanto nell'aumento delle temperature, che rende prevalente la pioggia anziché le nevicate specie a bassa quota, e che accelera la fusione del manto nevoso. In ogni caso, seppure in un quadro complessivo di minore nevosità, di quando in quando episodi nevosi estremi sono comunque possibili, in annate di forti precipitazioni (inverni 2008-09, 2013-14, nonché l'ultimo inverno 2020-21).
Una sintesi in italiano del lavoro è stata pubblicata sul numero 85 della rivista SMI Nimbus (luglio 2021), mentre il paper originale si trova su The Cryosphere, 15, 1343–1382, 2021. |

| Infographics on Assessement of Climate Change Costs The EU H2020 project COACCH (CO-designing the Assessment of Climate CHange costs) has produced some infographics on its main results. The final objective of COACCH is to produce an improved downscaled assessment of the risks and costs of climate change in Europe that can be accessed directly for the different needs of end users from the research, |
|
|
business, investment, and the policy making community. This objective is pursued by working with end users and developing an innovative science-practice and integrated approach of co-design of knowledge and co-delivery of outcomes with stakeholders. |

| Improving water management and resilience to extreme weather events: TEACHER-CE Toolbox just released An integrated Toolbox for a climate-proof management of water resources through sustainable land-use management. |
|
|
The CC-ARP-CE focuses on the climate-proof management of water-related issues such as flood, heavy rain and drought risk, small water retention measures and protection of drinking water sources. The CC-ARP-CE is an online platform that helps users to identify climate adaptation measures for different fields of actions and various land uses in the water management sector. |

| CALL FOR PAPERS Special Issue: The social side of agroecological systems: Farmers’ adaptation capacity Journal: Frontiers in Agronomy (section “Agroecological cropping systems”) |
|
|
Guest Editors: Sandra Ricart (Politecnico di Milano e University of Alicante), Julie Ingram (University of Gloucestershire), Amarender A. Reddy (National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management), Nicholas Cradock-Henry and Nick Kirk (Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research).
The objective of this Research Topic is to: (i) bring together new results from research from around the world to provide conceptual methodological and empirical insights into farmers’ adaptive capacity when addressing challenges such as climate change and resource degradation, (ii) provide insights and an agenda for future research in agroecological cropping systems, which incorporate social as well as technical perspectives, and (iii) furnish guidance to policy and decision-makers on how they can enable, foster and leverage adaptive capacities.
We are interested in receiving original research articles, reviews, perspectives, and opinion pieces about all aspects of farmers’ perceptions and behavior in agroecological systems when adapting to contemporary challenges and negotiating conditioning factors. The agroecological systems can be at local or regional scale, from the global north to the global south, also including case study comparison. Likewise, farmers can be analysed as individuals or as community members and stakeholders.
