Impacts and responses concerning Global climate change in Hungary a Joint Research Project of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry for Environment and Water

The World’s climate has not been constant. We know, it has gone through dramatic past changes, but there is an increasing evidence that human activities are altering our climate at an unprecedented rate.

Synthesis

In 2005 specialist working groups process research results and reports, and elaborate a synthesis in favour of program proposals in the following fields: Nature conservation. Economic systems in agriculture and forestry. Water management. Communal systems, transport, traffic and energy consumption. Human dimensions (health, education, communication, legal system). Social aspects.

The structure of the project

The project is iniciated and supervised by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry for Environment and Water. The Steering Committee of the project: István Láng Márton Jolánkai László Csete The project is supported by the Scientific Council.
