Policy
How will ice2sea affect policy? Sea-level rise is of obvious importance in particular to those living in coastal areas. It is the aim of the ice2sea project to inform policy makers. and their advisors, from across Europe, as to how to take understanding of glaciers and sea-level rise projections and use the information to in creating and adjusting local, regional, national, and European policies.
To determine how we should approach this, we conducted a stakeholder review, which comprised of one-to-one interviews and a questionnaire. Our findings for this are available here.
A major aim of ice2sea is to input into the next IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report, AR5 – please read here about our aims.
