Bolin Centre Climate Arena Last week the Bolin Centre Climate Arena had a workshop with the theme Carbon dioxide neutrality. More than 30 external partners where involved. Partners from companies, organizations, politics and governance joined researchers from the Bolin Centre to discuss the questions: "What is most important for society to reach carbon dioxide neutrality?", "What can my company/organization contribute with, what do my company/organization need and what can stimulate the work?". The workshop was a great success thanks to the engagement of all of the participants. If you would like to get involved in the Bolin Centre Climate Arena, please contact Elisabeth Däcker, elisabeth.dacker at geo.su.se (mailto:elisabeth.dacker at geo.su.se) . Forests protect animals and plants against warming The impacts of climate warming are buffered inside forests due to the thermal insulation of forest canopies. These results are based on an international study (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-019-0842-1) led by Ghent University researchers together with scientists from the Bolin Centre. Contact Professor Kristoffer Hylander, kristoffer.hylander at su.se (mailto:kristoffer.hylander at su.se) at Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences for more information. Do you also have interesting research that you would like to share? Please contact bolin at su.se (mailto:bolin at su.se) On March 27-28 Arctic Avenue had a productive and inspiring kick off meeting. Arctic Avenue is a new spearhead research project led by Associate Professor Nina Kirchner at the Bolin Centre, Stockholm University and Professor Atte Korhola at the University of Helsinki. To boost already existing excellent cooperation, the two universities have decided to join forces trough Arctic Avenue during 2019–2021. Call for funding The first call will soon be announced at https://bolin.su.se/arcticavenue (https://bolin.su.se/arcticavenue) . Deadline for applications is April 20.

It is arranged jointly be the universities in Stockholm, Oslo, Hamburg and Copenhagen, with teachers and students from all four universities. It was also organized last summer. Here is a link (https://nbiocean.bitbucket.io/bornoe2018b/.) with a schedule and pictures from that. In the course, the basic equations describing large-scale rotating flow are used to study various phenomena in the atmosphere and ocean, for example geostrophic adjustment, Rosssby waves, Kelvin waves and Sverdrup circulation. Each day here will be lectures before lunch, and computer exercises to test the theory in the afternoon. The summer school is free of charge. If you are interested in participating, please inform Jonas Nycander at jonas at misu.su.se (mailto:jonas at misu.su.se) as soon possible.

As scientists and scholars who have recently initiated similar letters of support in our countries, we call for our colleagues across all disciplines and from the entire world to support these young climate protesters. We declare: Their concerns are justified and supported by the best available science. The current measures for protecting the climate and biosphere are deeply inadequate. By signing the Paris Agreement of 2015, all nation states committed under international law to keep global warming well below 2°C. In addition, all countries have promised efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The scientific community has clearly concluded that a global warming of 2°C instead of 1.5°C would substantially increase climate-related impacts and the risk of some becoming irreversible. Moreover, given the uneven distribution of most impacts, 2°C of warming would further exacerbate existing global inequalities. It is critical to immediately begin a rapid reduction in CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. The degree of climate crisis that humanity will experience in the future will be determined by our cumulative emissions; rapid reduction now will limit the damage. For example, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has recently assessed that halving CO2 emissions by 2030 (relative to 2010 levels) and globally achieving net-zero CO2 emissions by 2050 (as well as strong reductions in other greenhouse gases) would allow a 50% chance of staying below 1.5°C of warming. Considering that industrialized countries produced more of and benefited more from previous emissions, they have an ethical responsibility to achieve this transition more quickly than the world as a whole. Many social, technological, and nature-based solutions already exist. The young protesters rightfully demand that these solutions be used to achieve a sustainable society. Without bold and focused action, their future is in critical danger. There is no time to wait until they are in power. Politicians have the huge responsibility of creating the necessary framework conditions in a timely manner. Policies are needed to make climate-friendly and sustainable action simple and cost-effective, and climate-damaging action unattractive and expensive. Examples include effective CO2 prices and regulations; cessation of subsidies for climate-damaging actions and products; efficiency standards; social innovations; and massive, directed investment in solutions such as renewable energy, cross-sector electrification, and public transport infrastructure. A socially fair distribution of the costs and benefits of climate action will require deliberate attention, but it is both possible and essential. The enormous grassroots mobilization of the youth climate movement—variously known as e.g. Fridays for Future, School (or Youth) Strike 4 Climate, Youth for (or 4) Climate, Youth Climate Strike—shows that young people understand the situation. We approve and support their demand for rapid and forceful action. We see it as our social, ethical, and scholarly responsibility to state in no uncertain terms: Only if humanity acts quickly and resolutely can we limit global warming, halt the ongoing mass extinction of animal and plant species, and preserve the natural basis for the food supply and well-being of present and future generations. This is what the young people want to achieve. They deserve our respect and full support. _______________________________________ E.

Part 1: Arctic climate change and interactions with lower latitudes Speaker: Torben Koenigk, SMHI, Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute Arctic surface air temperature has increased 2-3 times as fast as the global mean temperature and Arctic sea ice has rapidly been reduced. At the same time, the ocean heat transport into the Arctic has increased and contributed to sea ice reduction and warming, particularly in the Barents Sea region. This region has been identified as a key region for potential feedbacks on climate and weather at lower latitudes; however the robustness of the linkage is debated. We use future model projections and sensitivity experiments to investigate changes in ocean heat transport, their impacts on the Barents Sea and potential feedbacks on lower latitudes. Further, we will show changes in freshwater exports out of the Arctic and potential impacts on the deep water formation in the North Atlantic and the large scale oceanic circulation. Part 2: Assessing Earth’s climate sensitivity Speaker: Thorsten Mauritsen, Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University Equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), which is the long-term global mean surface temperature response to doubled CO2, is a key metric that allows us to understand much of Earth’s history and to constrain projections into the future. Still more than a century after the first estimate by Svante Arrhenius (1896), substantial uncertainty remains in the magnitude of ECS, and the previous IPCC report (AR5) that assessed the status of the science in 2013 estimated a likely range of 1.5–4.5 K, but admitted up to 10 percent probability that it exceeds 6K. In this talk I will provide some insights into how we approach the problem in ongoing assessments.

Bolin Centre Seminars and Events 13-15 MAY In Swedish | Bolincentrets Klimatfestival Klimatfestivalen (https://bolin.su.se/index.php/klimatfestivalen) är vårt största publika event då vi öppnar upp för både skolor och allmänhet. Vi erbjuder ett stort antal intressanta klimataktiviteter och vi har redan ca 2000 förbokade besökare. Festivalen är även en möjlighet för Bolincentrets medlemmar att ta del av vårt outreach-arbete. Tips! De populärvetenskapliga föreläsningarna passar utmärkt som fortbildningstillfälle och ger inblick i andra discipliner än den egna. Välkommen!

Fika will be served, welcome! 16 MAY Bolin Centre Seminar Series | Research Area 4 Titel: Using land-based sites for air-sea interaction studies; Östergarnsholm and the Baltic Sea carbon budget Speaker: Anna Rutgersson, Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala UniversityTime & place: May 16 at 13h00–14h00, De Geeralen, Geoscience Building, Stockholm University The marine micrometeorological station Östergarnsholm has been used since 1995 for studies focusing various aspects of air-sea interaction. Using a land-based site for marine studies puts extra stress on the evaluation of site and data, but also gives the possibility of relatively long-term data sets. The talk will include new results concerning air-surface exchange and air-sea interaction. Since 2015 the Östergarnsholm site is the only marine site in the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System), and data focusing the role of Östergarnsholm and coastal seas in the global carbon cycle will be addressed.
