Figures include land use change and forestry.
Figures for the 1990-2000 period are observed data
Occurrence of heat wave events with a duration of 7 days (left: 1961-1990 average; right: 2071-2100 average)
Modelled hexachlorobenzene (HCB) background soil concentrations in Europe, 1998
Note: Permafrost is present in the blue area bordered by a black line.
Waste generation and material flows - Low economic growth scenario vs. Baseline (2020)
Positive values indicate increase and negative values indicate decrease of annaul summer days per decade
The map shows the change in the average number of ozone exceedence days from April to September observed at regional background stations (EMEP monitoring stations) from the period 1990-1994 to the period 1999-2004, excluding the abnormally warm summer of 2003. A day is counted as an exceedence day when the daily maximal 8-hr-average ozone concentration exceeds 60 ppbV.
The modelled changes shown are only due to climate variability and climate change
Modelled remains of the Alpine glacierisation (climatic accumulation area) according to an increase in summer air temperature of +1 to +5 °C. The total of 100% refers to the ice cover of the reference period (1971–90). The 100%-marks of the other lines refer to the fraction of glacierisation of the corresponding Alpine country. Reading example: A rise in summer air temperature of 3 °C would reduce the Alpine ice cover (red curve) to about 20% of the glacier cover of the reference period (1971–90). The corresponding glacier remains of Switzerland (blue, dashed line) amounts to about 30%, whereas in Austria (black, dashed line) only about 7% of the glacier cover of the reference period is left.
