Prof. Filippo Giorgi, ICTP, will give a talk on climate change as part of a project bringing together Sudanese and international experts to introduce current research topics to Sudanese students.
In particular, this talk follows up on the lecture delivered by Prof. Adil Haseeb, University of Khartoum, Sudan, on Basic Concepts in Climate Change on June 2nd.
Abstract of Prof. Giorgi's talk:
In this lecture I will review the main scientific concepts and
evidence of the ongoing global warming and its effects on the Earth's
climate system. I will then focus on the future climate projections
produced by climate models and associated risks for different societal
sectors, with some focus on the African continent. Finally, the lecture
will briefly discuss opportunities for reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions to contain global warming within the Paris Agreement target.
