Outreach booklet based on the BACC book
Climate Impacts on the Baltic Sea: From Science to Policy
The book, which is based on lectures given at a summer school on the Baltic Sea island of Bornholm in the summer of 2009, provides an interdisciplinary view on climate change impacts on the Baltic Sea and attempts to bridges the gap between science and policy making as well as sustainable environmental management.
The Baltic Sea area is an old cultural
landscape with a well developed international framework for monitoring,
assessing and managing its marine ecosystems. It provides a good case
study for other regions where such management is being set up. The
chapters in this book cover a
range of topics, spanning from detailed descriptions of political
agreements that protect the marine environment, to basic modelling
instructions, to an assessment of the possible impacts of climate change
on the marine ecosystem, to a reflection on the role of climate
scientists and their responsibility in society. This interdisciplinary
book is primarily directed at students and lecturers of the
environmental disciplines to provide an overview of the possible impacts
of climate change on the Baltic Sea. It is also intended to serve as a
background reference for scientists and policy makers, both for the
Baltic Sea area and more generally. The book is a contribution to the
BALTEX programme and to the BONUS+ projects ECOSUPPORT and Baltic-C.
