Climate

Since the Paris meeting in 2015, researchers have been investigating the effects of a rise in global temperature of 1.5 degrees. Now, the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) can present unique data which depict regional climate change after a rise in global temperature of 1.5 degrees.

A linkage between climate change and floods has been identified using a new international river flow dataset of unparalleled scale and diversity, to which SMHI has contributed. This is the first time this link has been demonstrated at a continental scale using observational data. A collaborative study with 30 European partners shows that the timing of the floods has shifted across much of Europe, dramatically in some areas.

The International Training Programme Climate Change - Mitigation and Adaptation is designed for decision makers in developing countries. Participating organisations will access the latest research and development in their areas of work, be supervised by skilled Swedish colleagues and experts, expand their networks and enhance working methods.

The Swedish National Knowledge Centre for Climate Change Adaptation is a resource for everybody with a responsibility for, or interest in, Sweden´s adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
