Objectif
The European North will be subjected to significant changes in climate over the next few decades. The complex but poorly understood interrelationships between components of the arctic system may lead to positive or negative feedback to these resulting in enhanced vulnerability. BALANCE will assess the vulnerability of the Barents Region to climate change through the description and quantification of major links between essential environmental and societal components and will be based on a common modelling framework for these components. A holistic, interdisciplinary approach to the assessment of climate change vulnerabilities, a close link between the project scientists and the major stakeholders in the region as well as potential key (institutional) users of our project results and the utilisation of existing data and information from earlier and ongoing EU projects, are key characteristics of the project.
