Climate experts are divided over the year of weather extremes

undisclosed_email_address@ox.ac.uk (Jacqueline Smith) — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 15:45:36 +0000

An article on how much weather extremes can be linked to the changing climate includes quotes from Myles Allen, Professor of Geosystem Science at the School of Geography and the Environment and leader of the ECI's climate research programme.

Last year he published research that argued that climate change did contribute to the autumnal flooding in Britain in 2000. He is planning a similar study for this year. But he is wary of making wider links between climate change and extreme weather. 03/12/12 3 Dec 2012 -

18/04/1218 April 2012 -

Water is increasingly becoming a scarce resource and shortages could drive conflict, hit food and energy production, and threaten growth in renewable energy technology, experts warned at a water security conference on Monday. And climate change - which appears to be bringing more extreme weather events such as droughts and floods - is likely to make the situation even more difficult, they said. Article includes quotes from David Grey, a University of Oxford water expert; Ian Walmsley, pro-vice chancellor for research at the University of Oxford; and Jim Hall, an expert on water and risk at the Oxford Environmental Change Institute.

TSU research team publish paper reviewing the links between transport, carbon consumption and decarbonisation in Annual Reviews of Environment and Resources

undisclosed_email_address@ox.ac.uk (Chris White) — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:18:47 +0000

15/11/1115 November 2011 -

A team of TSU researchers led by Professor David Banister have published a paper that reviews the links between transport, carbon consumption and decarbonisation in Annual Reviews of Environment and Resources, one of the most influential journals in environmental studies. The review considers the historical growth of high-carbon transport, summarises options for reducing carbon consumption in transport, and explains why transport governance has so far failed to make much headway in decarbonising transport. It argues that such decarbonisation requires a holistic approach that considers technological innovation, cultural change, reconfigured economic relations and alternative forms of governance simultaneously. The paper can be accessed online.

Dr Rob Hope has been awarded £200k by DfID for Phase II of the Smart Water Systems project that in Phase I established a proof-of-concept of how mobile communication innovations can promote economic growth and human development. Phase II studies will be based in Kenya over two years working with government, donors and enterprise partners to pilot and evaluate mobile-enhanced innovations in Smart Rivers and Smart Handpumps. This work is linked to a separate Skoll Foundation grant for a four country study (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia) to investigate the Impacts and Implications of Mobile Water Payment Innovations in Urban Africa. The Oxford team working on these grants include Michael Rouse CBE (SoGE), Dr Gari Clifford (EngSci), DPhils (Money, Krolikowski) and WSPM graduates (Thomson, Cohen, Foster). Findings were presented at World Water Week in Stockholm in August.

Environmental Change and Food Security Programme (GECAFS) hosted a workshop for the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) and the ICSU Earth Systems Science Partnership (ESSP) to develop a joint research agenda on global change. There were 3 main workshop objectives:

To identify those research questions concerning climate change and agriculture that are priority research areas for the CGIAR and GEC communities, that fill key knowledge gaps and that can only be addressed by the two communities working together.
To identify the type of partnerships needed for implementing such research and propose ways of implementing these partnerships 'on the ground' through joint research programmes.
To identify possible sources of funding for such programmes.

It's ten years since the UK Climate Impacts Programme (UKCIP) began its work at ECI, and to mark the occasion, UKCIP held a conference to bring together its stakeholders from the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Around 120 attended the event, held at St Anne's College in Oxford, which took the theme of 'Past, present and future'. The keynote address was given by Ian Pearson MP, Minister for Climate Change and the Environment (download speech).

UKCIP used the event to launch its Adaptation Actions database - a unique facility, offering free online access to examples of climate change adaptation in the UK. Contributions from UKCIP's stakeholders looked at the development of their approach to adaptation, and the UKCIP team gave updates on current work in progress.

Presentations and other outputs will shortly be available from the UKCIP website.

Polly Ericksen ran 4 days of workshops in Kathmandu, Nepal, with the GECAFS research partners in the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The participants came from five research sites, spanning from Bangladesh through to Pakistan. The first two days of the workshop focused on characterizing food systems and their vulnerability to water-related stresses, wrapping up research that has been funded by the Challenge Program for Water and Food. The second two days launched a new grant that the APN has awarded to the IGP team, which will concentrate on how to develop appropriate decision support tools for adapting food sytems so they are less vulnerable to global environmental change.
