Climate change in the Baltic Sea Area

Description

This report is based on the Baltic Assessment of Climate Change II (BACC II) and provides an update to the Climate Change in the Baltic Sea Area: HELCOM Thematic Assessment in 2007.
This assessment provides recent information on past and projected future climate change in the Baltic Sea Area and potential impacts of climate change on the Baltic Sea ecosystem. As used here, “climate change” is a neutral term because changes in the climate may result from internal dynamics, natural external factors, or anthropogenic pressures.
