The São Paulo School of Advanced Science on Climate Change: Scientific basis, adaptation, vulnerability and mitigation was held on 03 to 15 July 2017 at the University de São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil. The School was organized by the Interdisciplinary Climate Investigation Center (INCLINE) and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI), and sponsored by the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), Pró Reitoria de Pesquisa/University of São Paulo (PRP/USP), IAI and Santander.

The course was organized around five major themes:
(1) Observations and future projections (scientific basis);
(2) Impacts;
(3) Vulnerability;
(4) Adaptation and mitigation; and
(5) the Paris Agreement: Are 1.5 degrees a reasonable limit?

The 2-week course included theoretical classes, work in groups, a poster session, science-policy discussions, and visits to key institutions in the State of São Paulo conducting climate change research with policy applications.

Specific topics:
– Introduction: indicators of climate change and treatment of uncertainties;
– Observations: atmosphere, ocean and surface;
– Detection and attribution of climate change: from global to regional;
– Information from paleoclimate archives;
– Evaluation of climate models & tendencies;
– Impacts of modes of climate variability: monsoon, ENSO, annular modes;
– Urban areas in the global change context;
– Natural and managed resources and systems, and their uses (freshwater resources; coastal systems and low-lying areas; food security and food production systems);
– Human health, well-being, and security (human health: impacts, adaptation, and co-benefits; human security; livelihoods and poverty);
– Adaptation (adaptation needs and options; adaptation planning and implementation; adaptation opportunities, constraints, and limits; economics of adaptation);
– Agriculture, forests and other land uses;
– Consequences on ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services provision;
– Drivers, trends, and mitigation;
– Energy systems;
– The Paris Agreement: Are 1.5°C a reasonable limit? – a debate.

SPSAS Climate Change

The School aims to contribute to the training of graduate students in the area of climate change. The school will foster the exchange of knowledge from many disciplines and sectors, among the participants and with School lecturers and organizers. It will also promote the development of collaborative networks to gather a critical mass of young scientists interested in climate change and its impacts on ecosystems and society.

Background

Environmental research is complex and involves a variety of topics, such as water, land, biodiversity, pollution, food security. Climate change adds to the complexity and enhances the discussion of environmental problems. It requires more comprehensive and interdisciplinary studies to aid decision-making and actions needed for the benefit of the planet and society. Because of its overarching importance, climate change has been constantly in the public eye, especially since the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)in 1988. Programs have been established to foster climate change studies in many countries. Examples of research programs on climate change in Brazil are: FAPESP Research Program on Global Climate Change (RPGCC), the Brazilian Research Network on Global Climate Change (Rede Clima), el Panel Brasileño sobre Cambio Climático (PBMC), the Brazilian Panel on Climate Change (PBMC), and the INCT for Climate Change (INCT-MC). In the Brazilian academic field, research groups, such as INCLINE, have contributed to the discussion of climate change sciences with contributions from many scientists and universities in the country.

Goal

To provide graduate students with advanced knowledge on climate change science and related topics: Observations and future projections; impacts; vulnerability; adaptation and mitigation; and the Paris Agreement: how to reach the 1.5°C target, including aspects of public policy. Participants will discuss with renowned scientists important themes of the three IPCC Fifth Assessment Report Working Groups, in a multidisciplinary and multicultural context.
