  • „Downscaling“ of climate change scenarios of GCMs using the CTM

LOTOS-EUROS and RCM RACMO

  • Comparison of 20 year periods for 1989–2009 and 2041–2060
  • Focus: Ozone und PM10
  • Anthropogenic emissions taken constant for 2005 (MACC 2005)

  • f central and southern Europe
  • Low increase in northern and eastern Europe
  • The differences indicate high uncertainties between models but the direction is

consistent

CONCLUSIONS

Damage to health from ozone pollution is likely to decrease in 2030 / 2050 if climate remains as today The difference between the energy pathways is small Impact of anthropogenic emission change far outweighs impact of land use change Climate change may be a more important driver of ozone concentrations than the change in anthropogenic emissions and land use change unless very strong emission reductions are achieved

CONCLUSIONS

The impact of changing emission variability for renewable energies may be significant during the transition phase to a society based on renewable energy resources. In general, the meteorological and climate impact on anthropogenic emissions is largely neglected in current modelling approaches and needs to be accounted for,
