GWEA 2006
International Symposium on
Impact Evaluation of Global Warming
and Approach to Risk Analysis in East
Asia |

October 31 - November 4, 2006
To be held at Central Weather Bureau,
Taiwan (R.O.C.) |

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change) Third Assessment
Report showed that the average air temperature
has risen by 0.6 ℃ since the beginning
of the 20th century. It also stated
that the trend of increasing temperature
during the last 50 years could be attributed
mainly to human activities. Furthermore,
the air temperature is expected to increase
on average by another 1.5 ℃ to 4.8 ℃
by the end of this century. These findings
suggested that immediate measures should
be taken against global warming problems
and that the establishment of prediction
methods and the development of mitigation
technologies were important issues.
In recent years, many studies on
the evaluation of the impact of global
warming and the measures to counter
the situation have been carried out,
providing some knowledge of each process.
However, mechanisms of phenomena under
the influence of interaction of multiple
processes have yet to be solved. In
addition, researches identifying negative
effects likely causing global warming
and providing measures to minimize the
impact of warming in the future are
needed. In terms of research methodologies,
it is essential to improve the precision
of the climate change scenario based
on the regional approach.
In this context, the international
symposium focuses on (1) characterization
of climate changes and development of
climate change scenario for East Asia,
(2) studying effects of climate change
on the ecosystems and food production,
(3) effects on human health and society,
and (4) evaluation of risks regarding
global warming, to visualize impact
of global warming in the near future
and examine risks of the effects. As
a consequence, when the situation of
East Asia becomes well-defined, a wealth
of new knowledge will be attained regarding
the climate change impacts at a level
that would prevent the area from anthropogenic
interference, which is the ultimate
goal in the international framework
of the global warming study.
