In the Funchal area and at other parts of the southern coast there are less than 80 days with precipitation per year, whereas at the northern coast over 120 days/year are registered. In this respect, Portugal has been implementing in Timor-Leste since 2013, together with GIZ and the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), the EU support programme for Climate Change, which aims at contributing to the sustainable well-being of rural communities in Timor-Leste and strengthening the capacity of people living in selected sub-districts and vulnerable to climate change to address the effects of climate change through the sustainable management of natural resources and the improvement of their life choices by using local development mechanisms. Canada: Changement Climatique Et Contestations Constitutionnelles 03 December 2020 by Jason Kroft , Victor MacDiarmid and Larissa Lees changement climatique doit agir avant tout dans les domaines suivants : Développement économique et institutionnel. A Strategic Framework for Climate Policy was adopted in 2015, through the Resolution of the Council of Ministers No.56/2015. 5:42. This is a once in a lifetime trip. The lowest island (Graciosa) has a maximum elevation of 402 m, whereas Pico has the highest point of the Azores and of Portugal (2351 m). Also, extreme precipitation variability and climate uncertainty seem to have increased in recent times (3). Many other initiatives are developed under the NAS supported by the own resources of the entities involved. Some of the services already provided are the drought monitoring and the fire risk index. Furthermore, its identification resulted from the screening and prioritization of the various adaptation measures listed in sectoral, municipal and inter-municipal planning exercises. Du Portugal au Groënland, les incendies ravageurs se multiplient. On the forests sector 2 strategic instruments cover adaptation, by including specific objectives and corresponding measures, these are the National Strategy for Forests (2015) and the National Strategy for Nature Conservation and Biodiversity (2018). Six cross-cutting thematic areas have been identified: The work developed under these thematic areas is essentially undertaken by the nine priority sectors that constitute the basic units of work of the NAS, under the coordination of APA and other relevant bodies of each thematic area. Get Started. To what extent heat waves or cold waves may change not only depends on the scenario of climate change we choose or the time slice in the future, it also depends on the definition of a heat wave or a cold spell. Recently the Regional Health Administrations prepared their own adaptation strategies where the main impacts on health and vulnerabilities of the health services and infrastructures, and respective adaptation measures were identified. Portuguese Translation of “climate change” | The official Collins English-Portuguese Dictionary online. James Bay, Canada - Copernicus Sentinel-3 data (2019), processed by A. Vecoli James Bay, Canada - Copernicus Sentinel-3 data (2019), processed by A. Vecoli Although Portugal has never had a specific research programme dedicated to Climate Change, over the past decade, the Foundation for Science and Technology, has launched calls for research proposals in all scientific domains, including Climate Change. Led jointly by the […] The references below are cited in full in a separate map 'References'. Furthermore, the territorial management instruments that regulate the coastline are now being revised incorporating aspects of climate change in its methodology to define the safeguard buffer strips. Furthermore, climate extremes are available. The climate in this archipelago is temperate and humid. Also in the period 1950-2003, statistically significant drying trends were found in spring, mainly in northern and central Portugal (15), while weak wetting trends were detected in autumn (15). 2005 was the driest of the last 78 years, followed by 2007 and 2004. This action plan includes a specific measure on "climate change management in tourism", where it promotes the assessment of impacts and vulnerabilities and identification of adaptation and mitigation measures. With this revision there was a focus on better articulation between the domains (particularly the cross-cutting ones) and on the implementation of adaptation measures, along with mainstreaming in sectoral policies. Time: 12.30 - 13.30 pm CET. Santos e P. Miranda (editores), Projeto SIAM II, Gradiva, Lisboa, 2006, Alterações Climáticas em Portugal. de wereldwijde opwarming sinds de 19e eeuw The Scientific Panel guarantees the engagement of the scientific community and can provide knowledge-based support to the coordination group. In spring, statistically significant drying trends were found in the period 1941-2007 at 57 meteorological stations scattered across Portugal together with a reduction in extremes (9). Since the 70’s the temperature has been raising in Angra do Heroísmo, Terceira Island, Azores (1). the identification of gaps in the impacts, measures and policy instruments. The most determining factor that influences the weather conditions is the Azores anticyclone. It contains a set of observed and modeled climate data, which define a climate adaptation profile to Portugal. Nevertheless certain typologies of measures and actions need proper financing mechanisms to be implemented. Projected maximum temperature was found to increase by 3.2°C (4.7°C) for the B2 (A2) scenario in summer and by 3.4°C in both scenarios for spring. The median values of maximum and minimum temperature increase by 3.5 - 4°C and 3 - 3.5°C, respectively, by the end of the century under the high-end scenario of climate change. the Common Strategic Framework 2014-2020 (ERDF; ESF; CF; EAFRD; EFMAF). Besides other less comprehensive assessments of the impacts & vulnerability, it must be highlighted the Progress Report of the previous NAS (APA, 2013) that was produced by the coordination group of the NAS. For the moderate scenario the increase in the number of heat waves is milder, but even in this scenario, an average of 5 heat waves are projected for the end of the twenty-first century. Most of these are provided as outputs of key projects and initiatives. Meanwhile, the framework of measures and actions was updated constituting a reference for implementation. Climate Change in Portugal: Scenarios, Impacts, and Adaptation Measures - SIAM (2002) This object has been archived because its content is outdated. noun. Climate Change in Portugal: Scenarios, Impacts, and Adaptation Measures - SIAM project report. The level on how adaptation is being mainstreamed varies from sector to sector. PAGE 6 Le changement climatique en 10 questions Le changement climatique en 10 questions PAGE 7 La chaleur est davantage maintenue autour de la Terre L’effet de serre est un phénomène très sensible aux variations de la Ce jeudi 19 novembre, entre 9 et 13 h, les résultats d’un programme de recherches sur le changement climatique et l’agriculture sont rendus public. The evolution of the energy supply sector, although triggered mainly by concerns about security of supply and mitigation of climate change, is convergent and consistent with the adaptation objectives. It is within this thematic area that activities such as reporting to the UNFCCC and to the European Commission are held. The SIAM (Climate change in Portugal. In this way one of the thematic areas of the NAS deals specifically with this aspect having the objective to "focus on the prioritization and articulation of funds and available means for coherence adoption of the options and adaptation measures required to implement the NAS". You can still access it as legacy Description. As in Spain, three sets of influences are involved: Atlantic, continental (Mesetan), and Mediterranean. IPMA has the responsibility for deployment, exploration and maintenance of the country network of meteorological stations; it is also responsible for archive and quality control of weather observations. A significant reduction (about 30%) in annual precipitation is projected for Madeira for the period 2070-2099 relative to the baseline period of 1961-1990 (1). In this way, an adequacy assessment was held to grasp the identification and adjustment of dysfunctional measures, and to define new measures to address gaps. Cet hiver 2019/2020 pourrait être le plus chaud jamais enregistré en France ! Porto Santo Island is located roughly 40 km Northwest of Madeira and has a maximum altitude of 517 m (Pico do Facho) (1). This document will systematize relevant information, identify adaptation priorities and plan adaptation actions. Changement climatique: statistiques de Le changement climatique est un défi qui nous incite à améliorer la conception des produits, à réduire l'empreinte carbone des clients, à améliorer l'efficacité de la production et à informer sur la manière dont nous investissons à Changement climatique. See more information on subnational level in section "Engaging Stakeholders: participation and capacity building" / "Governance". Another example is the reference source of information for Portugal's future climate, a user-friendly platform that provides climate indicators in climate change scenarios based on CORDEX data. As for the medium term approach, the NAP will also constitute a guideline but for the purposes of: Regarding the sub-national level both autonomous regions of Azores and Madeira have their own regional strategies in place dealing on adaptation issues. What’s’ more, the threshold also varies with location in Spain and Portugal because the thresholds for heat waves and cold spells are calculated for a lot of locations across the Iberian Peninsula. In 2017, the preliminary diagnosis for the transport sub-sector which set the basis for the ongoing preparation of the document "adaptation of the transport sector to climate change", was elaborated. The NAS has a thematic area dedicated specifically to research and innovation in order to promote the national science and knowledge in relevant areas for a coherent implementation of the NAS. This was done for 2071–2100 compared with 1961–2000. The Agenda will be finalized and published in 2019, after contributions from the sectors and civil society, thus identifying priorities and needs for research in the field, to guide future scientific programs. The sector agriculture registers a significant number of policies and instruments with synergies with adaptation both in terms of delimitation of vulnerable areas and identification of adaptation measures. Two interim reports were published (2015-16 and 2017-18) and an evaluation and final report is planned to be published in the end of 2020. Ce rapport présente une nouvelle évaluation quantitative détaillée des conséquences du changement climatique sur la croissance économique dans les décennies à venir. 1941–1975: The maximum and minimum temperature decreased by 0.17°C per decade and 0.19°C per decade, respectively; 1976–2006: The maximum and minimum temperature increased by 0.49°C per decade and 0.54°C per decade, respectively. In this project several training events for local officers led to the development of 27 Local Adaptation Strategies. Les impacts de ce changement vont avoir des répercussions sur notre vie et Ici se succèdent chaînes (serra de Mamede, serra de Monchique) et plateaux (haut- et bas-Alentejo), qui isolent du reste du pays l’extrême sud du territoire, l’Algarve, ensemble de plateaux calcaires, de plaines et de lagunes. This government law proposal is a territorial development instrument of strategic nature that establishes the great options with relevance to the organization of the national territory, consubstantiates the framework of reference to be considered in the elaboration of other Territorial Management Instruments, and constitutes an instrument of cooperation with the other MS for the management of the territory. Right from the beginning the revision of PNPOT gave particular attention to the Paris Agreement. Pour y parvenir, nous avons amélioré l’efficacité énergétique sur toutes nos installations (bâtiments, équipement, etc.) The latter is due to the fact that not only the number of heat waves but average heat wave duration is also expected to increase significantly at all locations. Relevant progresses are observed addressing adaptation at sub-national level. In the NAP it is planned to establish a monitoring system with measurable indicators of two kinds: achievement and outcome. Changement climatique : vers l'hiver le plus doux en France ! Since the 70’s the mean temperature has raised in Funchal and Porto Santo at rates of about 0.6ºC/decade and 0.34ºC/decade, respectively (1). The results of five regional climate models (RCMs) were used to characterize the precipitation changes over Portugal in response to an intermediate scenario of climate change (the so-called SRES A1B emissions scenario). This framework is backed up by two other structures: the Scientific Panel and the Interministerial Commission on Climate Change, Air Policy and Circular Economy (CIAAC). The Strategy of Adaptation to Climate Change of Madeira explored the observed climate and climate scenarios for different time horizons, assessed the sectoral impacts and vulnerabilities, defined adaptation measures and establishes a governance framework for implementation and monitoring. The annual number of days with a minimum temperature below 0°C (frost days) can be higher than 50 in the northern centre. The revision of the NAS is scheduled for 2020. Regarding public awareness on issues of adaptation to climate change it is important to note the relevance of the project ClimAdaPT.Local, described above, which had significant media coverage throughout its implementation, both in national and in local media. Le changement climatique 2 • 3sommaire glossaire introduction Changement climatique : DU CONSTAT À L’ACTION Le climat est en train de changer. At transnational level is worth noting the Transnational Operational Programme for Madeira-Azores-Canary Islands. At sub-national level it is important to highlight the Adaptation Strategy of the Autonomous Region of Madeira and the significant trend of development of Municipal and Intermunicipal Adaptation Strategies and Plans. As for the thematic area "research and innovation" the interface between science and policy is assured by promoting national science and knowledge in relevant areas for a coherent implementation of the NAS. One of the 3 main objectives of the NAS is precisely mainstreaming of adaptation in sectoral policies including spatial planning, planning and territorial management instruments. In articulation with this strategy, an action plan for the sustainability of the tourism sector is in the final stages of preparation. On the action plan the strategic domains of development were identified including actions and projects with expected effects in the context of climate change. The project provided guidance manuals that support almost all sub-national adaptation strategies in place and in preparation. In this study (13), a heat wave is defined as the period of, at least, three consecutive days in which the maximum temperature during a day is equal or above a certain threshold temperature. La plupart des aspects du changement climatique persisteront pendant plusieurs siècles, même si les émissions sont stoppées. In general, by the end of the century, projected maximum temperatures increase more than projected minimum temperatures. Ce rapport présente une nouvelle évaluation quantitative détaillée des conséquences du changement climatique sur la croissance économique dans les décennies à venir. This user-friendly platform gathers around 40 climate variables, based on CORDEX climate change projections, with multiple information depending on the climate normal and scenarios, time period, geographic areas (NUTS1, 2 and 3), statistics (30-year average or anomalies), global models and regional models. Another initiative held within this project with clear benefits on public awareness was the workshop for journalists about climate change. This structure aims to advise and provide scientific support to the activities of the NAS, including the support and advising to the Coordination Group, and also it aims to follow the progress of NAS implementation and to suggest improvements. Besides the local governments, most local authorities are involved in campaigns to improve resilience and awareness, particularly regarding forest fires, floods and heat waves. Some adjustments were made on the list of adaptation measures and the indicators to monitor the implementation of measures were reviewed. Within the scope of the research and innovation thematic area, there is ongoing work to prepare an Agenda for national priorities of research and innovation on Climate Change, developed by the Scientific Panel, under the joint coordination of the Foundation for Science and Technology and APA. Likewise, a cold spell is defined as the period of, at least, three consecutive days in which the minimum temperature during a day is equal or below a certain threshold temperature, where this threshold is defined as the 10 % lowest day temperatures during the 31 days around a certain day over the period 1986-2005. the Research & Innovation Agenda for Climate Change, the Programme on National Spatial Planning Policy, and. These figures relate to funding of projects whose primary objective was climate change adaptation as well as projects which belonged to other areas but included activities that contribute to reducing the negative impacts of climate change and increasing resilience of the economies where they were carried out. Souvent, au sein du grand public, la question climatique est perçue à travers la médiatisation des This climate portal has more than 40 climate variables available on the website aggregated in the following groups: Additionally, the National Authority of Civil Protection has a national database on disaster response and losses since 2006 and publishes that information on the yearbooks of civil protection events. Projected rise in maximum temperature shows a large west-east gradient highlighting the lower warming in the coastal areas and the opposite near the border with Spain. » Pour Mgr Sorondo, argentin comme le pape : « De la The most determining factor that influences the weather conditions is the Azores anticyclone. The Tourism Strategy 2027 contributes by increasing the energy and water efficiency in the sector. Two periods have been discriminated (6, see also 8): Besides, in the 1976–2006 period many stations revealed statistically significant positive trends in the annual number of tropical nights, summer days, warm spells, warm nights and warm days. Mean annual sea surface temperature increased by +0.1°C per decade along the Northwestern and Southwestern coast, and by +0.2°C per decade along the Southern coast. Both halfway and at the end of this century, the number of heat waves and heat wave days are expected to increase in all studied locations across Spain and Portugal. Extreme precipitation was shown to decrease in this period in spring over central Portugal and slightly increase in autumn over northern Portugal and nearby Lisbon (15). For the Azores case, a regional plan is planned to be approved in 2019 in order to operationalize the regional strategy on climate change. Additionally the Horizon 2020 is a very important source for funding adaptation research projects. This priority is also in line with the strong focus of the Portuguese Official Development Assistance (ODA) on the Least Developed Countries and Fragile States. These three instruments were prepared in articulation with the NAS framework and are scheduled to be published in 2019. In the Mediterranean states, increasing average temperatures, together with the increasing probability of heatwaves, could result in temperatures exceeding comfortable levels more frequently in the future. The majority of the models predict a moderate increase in rainfall in the north in the winter season for the period 2070-2099 relative to the baseline period of 1961-1990. A systematic increase in temperature in the order of 3-7ºC is estimated for the summer season in continental Portugal in the 21st century, affecting in particular inland northern and central regions. The Azores comprises nine islands. Furthermore the municipalities involved in the Campaign Making Cities Resilient are very active in public education to enhanced awareness of risk and protective measures. The achievement indicators are intended to measure the level of implementation of the proposed actions. climate change in Portugal the questions Topic main question - How does climate change affect the way of living along the coast of Portugal and what can been done about it? The highest point of the island is Pico Ruivo (1,862 m). The variability (the spread around the median) of maximum temperature will also increase; for minimum temperature variability is not projected to change significantly. At the governance level, the means of implementation within the NAS rely essentially on the own resources affected by each of the public entities involved in the coordination of thematic areas and sectoral WG, and as members of the coordination group and of the Scientific Panel. Après trois ans d’études, le bilan du Additionally, the identification of funding mechanisms is addressed to support the implementation of adaptation measures. Portuguese Environment Agency with the cooperation of Ecoprogresso – Environment and Development Consultants, SA (2009), Kostopoulou and Jones (2005); Vicente-Serrano and Cuadrat-Prats (2007), both in: Costa and Soares (2009).
