Report About “Climate Change Risks in Brazil”
Shows Impacts in the Amazon
May, 10, 2011
The temperature increase and Amazon rainfall decrease above expected average global variation is the main conclusion of the project's final report “Climate Change risks in Brazil”, published by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and Met Office Hadley Centre (MOHC). The document is the result of researchers’ work from Brazil and United Kingdom during three years, funded by British Embassy.
Studies show the importance of Amazon to global climate and as an environmental services provider for Brazil. The project aim is to assist policy makers with scientific evidence of climate change and its possible impacts in Brazil, South America, and globally.
“The UK MOHC experience, world leader in climate modeling, added to INPE experience in studies about South America climate change, have allowed identifying possible scenarios and impacts, and doing innovative projections about anthropogenic climate change effects in this region”, said José Marengo, INPE researcher who coordinated the project in Brazil.
The Project used a set of global and regional models developed by MOHC and Earth System Science Center at INPE to predict the effects of greenhouse gases emissions to world climate, and also to provide more details about Brazil. Although the forecasts are about whole country, the report focus is Amazon, most worrying area.
The document has been divided in two sections: the first provides context to support the study; the second details the new science and anticipates important scientific breakthroughs for planning and to the politics.
The "Climate change risks in Brazil" was created by the United Kingdom Fund for Strategic Programs, former Global Opportunity Fund (GOF). The work will continue as part of the National Science and Technology Institute for Climate Change (INCT for Climate Change) scientific program and the Brazilian Search Network about Global Climate Change (Rede CLIMA), located at INPE.
