| Synthesis report IC12 Institutions for Adaptation: Do institutions allow society to adapt to the impacts of climate change? In this research the Adaptation wheel is developed as a method to evaluate the extent to which institutions they promote customizations from the societies or hinder. With this Adaptation wheel four policy sectors (nature, agriculture, water and spatial planning) in the official Dutch institutional context are evaluated.

| Synthesis report IC11 Socio-economic Scenarios in Climate Assessments It is widely recognised that projections of social and economic futures are circumscribed by irreducible uncertainties and ignorance. A common analytical response is to develop scenarios that map a range of alternative possible outcomes. The application of scenarios in climate assessments in the Netherlands was investigated in this report, focusing on the use of the socio-economic scenarios ‘Welvaart en Leefomgeving’ (WLO – The Future of the Dutch Built Environment).

| Synthesis report IC10 Frames in climate change communication and decision-making The report describes a frame-based approach to communication and decision-making on climate change. Building on the multidisciplinary literature on the relationship between frames and decisionmaking, decision makers may gain from making frames more explicit and using them for generating different visions about the central issues.

| Synthesis report CS08 Times series information Digitization of data sources of long time series of meteorological variables and the resulting datasets play an important role in the infrastructural planning of the Netherlands and form the basis for studies into climate change and its consequences. For instance, the design standards of river dikes, drainage and sewerage systems are to a large extent determinded by the occurrence of extreme meteorological events in the past. The data sources are checked for quality and are freely available via the Internet. Several examples of applications are presented.

| Synthesis report CS05 Remote Influences on European Climate Central theme in this report is the impact of remote influences on the climate in the Netherlands with a focus on extreme events. A number of topics are addressed that are relevant for the construction of climate scenarios for the Netherlands. Climate changes Spatial Planning, project CS05, Thursday 15 December 2011 |
| Synthesis report CS02: Monitoring and profiling with CESAR Observatory The climate system is complex. Although it is understood in qualitative terms, there are still many physical processes of which the impact on climate change is far from quantifiable. A well-known example of such a process is the interaction between cloud and rainfall formation, aerosols, radiation and the land-atmosphere energy exchange. The project aimed at the development of the required observation methodologies to study these processes. The capacitiy of the CESAR Observatory was explored, in order to make it one of the leading atmospheric observatories in the world. CcSP, project CS02, Tuesday 13 December 2011 |
| Synthesis report COM28: Time series transformation tool: development and use in CCsP projects Parallel to the development of the KNMI’06 climate scenarios in 2006, a tool was developed to generate temperature and precipitation time series for the future. These time series are often needed for climate impact and adaptation models. The aim of this time series transformation tool is to alter a daily historical time series of precipitation or temperature in a way that corresponds to one of the four KNMI’06 climate change scenarios for a selected time horizon.

| Synthesis report A08: Climate change impacts on inland transport systems Knowledge about the effects of climate change on the economy is of great importance for national and international authorities because these effects may be far-reaching. One of the sectors that are expected to be sensitive to climate change is the transport sector (freight and passengers). Climate changes Spatial Planning, project A08, Tuesday 13 December 2011 |
