DESCRIPTION:Eingeladen durch GCE\n \nThe European Alps are one region of th
 e world where climate-driven changes are already perceptible\, as exemplif
 ied by the general retreat of mountain glaciers over past decades. Tempera
 tures have risen by up to 2°C since 1900 particularly at high elevations\,
  a rate that is roughly three times the global-average 20th century warmin
 g. Regional climate models suggest that by 2100\, winters in Switzerland m
 ay warm by 3-5°C and summers by 6-7°C according to greenhouse-gas emission
 s scenarios\, while precipitation is projected to increase in winter and s
 harply decrease in summer. The impacts of these levels of climatic change 
 will affect both the natural environment and a number of economic activiti
 es. Alpine glaciers may lose between 50 and 90% of their current volume an
 d the average snowline will rise by 150 m for each degree of warming. Hydr
 ological systems will respond in quantity and seasonality to changing prec
 ipitation patterns and to the timing of snow-melt in the Alps\, with a gre
 ater risk of flooding during the spring and droughts in summer and fall. T
 he direct and indirect impacts of a warming climate will affect key econom
 ic sectors such as tourism\, hydropower\, agriculture and the insurance in
 dustry that will be confronted to more frequent natural disasters. This ta
 lk will thus provide an overview of the current state of knowledge on clim
 atic change and its impacts on the Alpine world\, based in particular on t
 he results of the EU-FP7 “ACQWA” project currently coordinated by the spea
 ker.\n
