  Information - CL1 Climate change and variability in Europe, including extremes and its societal impacts over the last millennium

Event Information
“Climate variability and change in Europe and its societal impact, in the past, present and in the future”

Climate and its variability, as manifest in changes in its daily to long term means and extremes, is of all times and has an evident societal impact.
In the pre-industrial period variability of the climate was determined by natural factors. Since then and in the future human activity is becoming an factor of increasing importance. Climate will change in the near future and thus also its impact on society.

This session has the focus to assess climate change and variability in Europe, including extremes and its societal impacts over the last millennium.
In particular we invite contributions dealing with:
· Long term regional climate reconstructions and analyses (methods, non-instrumental proxies, early instrumental observations, data-rescue)
· Detection and explanation of 20th century anthropogenic climate change and variability (single and multi element statistical approaches, trends, natural vs anthropogenic causes )
· Studies about extreme and dangerous climate events for use by societal sectors (energy, infrastructure planning, landuse, tourisme, health,.)
· Impacts and adaptation by societal sectors
