Definitions
European Definitions
RESIN project
The RESIN project [1] gives the following definition:
Climate change refers to a change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g., by using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer [2]
Other International Definitions
International Energy Agency (IEA)
Climate change is the change in climate (i.e. regional temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, etc.) caused by increase in the greenhouse effect. [3]
UNISDR/IPCC
Climate change refers to a change in the state of the climate that can be identified (e.g. using statistical tests) by changes in the mean and/or the variability of these properties and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. [4]
Changements de climat qui sont attribués directement ou indirectement à une activité humaine altérant la composition de ’atmosphere mondiale et qui viennent s’ajouter à la variabilité naturelle du climat observée au cours de périodes comparables. [5]
Cambio del clima atribuido directa o indirectamente a actividades humanas que alteran la composición de la atmósfera mundial, y que viene a añadirse a la variabilidad natural del clima observada durante periodos de tiempo comparables. [6]
Изменение климата: (а) Межправительственная группа экспертов по изменению климата (МГЭИК) разработала следующее определение термина “изменение климата”: “изменение состояния климата, которое может быть определено (например, с помощью статистических испытаний) через изменения в среднем значении и (или) изменчивость его свойств и которое сохраняется в течение длительного периода, обычно несколько десятилетий или больше. Изменение климата может быть связано с естественными процессами, либо с постоянными антропогенными изменениями в атмосфере или землепользовании.” [7]
تغير المناخ: أ. تعريف الهيئة الحكومية الدولية المعنية بتغير المناخ “تغيير في حالة المناخ يمكن تشخيصه )باستخدام الاختبارات الإحصائية مثلا( من خلال التغييرات التي تطرأ على المتوسط الحسابي و/ أو على المتقلبية لصفاته، والتي تستمر لفترات طويلة من الزمن تمتد عقودا أو أطول. ويمكن أن يحدث تغير المناخ نتيجة لعوامل طبيعية أو عوامل خارجية مستمرة أو نتيجة التغييرات الحثيثة في تكوين الغلاف الجوي بسبب الأنشطة البشرية أو نتيجة لاستخدامات الأراضي [8]
National Definitions
Netherlands
Klimaatverandering is de verandering van het gemiddelde weertype of klimaat over een bepaalde periode. [9]
United Kingdom (UK)
Climate change refers to a change in the state of the climate, which can be identified by changes in average climate characteristics which persist for an extended period, typically decades or longer. [10]
