Volume 1 of a three-volume final report describes, synthesizes and
analyzes the results of the four-year Integrated Research Project
CIRCE - Climate Change and Impact Research: Mediterranean
Environment, funded by the EU 6th Framework Programme. Conducted
under the auspices of the National Institute of Geophysics and
Volcanology in Rome, Italy, CIRCE was designed to predict and to
quantify the physical impacts of climate change in the
Mediterranean, and to assess the most influential consequences for
the region's population. This volume incorporates the first two
parts of the report, reviewing current knowledge of observed
climate variability and trends in the Mediterranean, and including
descriptions of available temperature and precipitation station and
gridded data sets.
Volume 2 of a three-volume final report thoroughly describes,
synthesizes and analyzes the results of the four-year Integrated
Research Project CIRCE - Climate Change and Impact Research:
Mediterranean Environment, funded by the EU 6th Framework
Programme. Conducted under the auspices of the National Institute
of Geophysics and Volcanology in Rome, Italy, CIRCE was designed to
predict and to quantify the physical impacts of climate change in
the Mediterranean, and to assess the most influential consequences
for the region's population. This volume incorporates Parts 3 and 4
of the report, reviewing current knowledge of observed climate
variability and trends in the Mediterranean, and including
descriptions of available temperature and precipitation station and
gridded data sets.
This is the third volume of a three-volume final report, which

We are squandering our planet's natural capital-its biodiversity,
water and soil, and energy sources-at a blistering pace. Major
changes must be made to steer our planet and people away from our
current, doomed course. Though technology has been one of the
drivers of the current trend of unsustainable development, it is
also one of the essential tools for remedying it. Earth at Risk
maps out the necessary transition to sustainability, detailing the
innovations in technology, along with law, science, institutional
design, and economics, that can and must be put to use to avert
environmental catastrophe. Claude Henry and Laurence Tubiana begin
with a measure of the costs of ecological damage-the erosion of
biodiversity; air, water, and soil pollution; and the wide-reaching
effects of climate change-and then consider the solutions that are
either now available or close on the horizon that may lead to a
more sustainable global trajectory. What market-based tools can be
used to promote clean growth? How can renewable energy help us
decrease our use of fossil fuels? Is international agreement on
climate goals possible? Henry and Tubiana tackle a range of urgent
questions, emphasizing possibilities for-and obstacles
to-implementation and action. Building on the experience of the
most significant climate negotiation of the decade, they show what
a world organized along the principles of sustainability could look
like.
