The recent IPCC special report on 1.5C warming target has envisioned a number of detrimental effects and environmental challenges that will emerge with the global warming in excess of the target. Our study reveals that majority of the Arctic population is already leaving in the climate conditions significantly warmer than 1.5C and even 3.0C above the mean XXth century regional temperature. These urban temperature anomalies, known to as the urban heat islands (UHIs), may help us to study the effects of the warmer climate in the Arctic region.

Operational oceanography products, reanalysis, NRT analysis and forecast ocean state, can provide us a variety of value-added information useful for fishery stock management, monitoring and efficient fishery operation. In this talk, applications of the operational products to the operational fisheries in the North Pacific conducted by JAMSTEC data synthesis research group will be presented.

The North Pacific Ocean (NPO) state is about to experience significant transition by the end of this century under the current trend of the global climate change. NPO coastal communities are now facing a challenge to establish adaptation plans to mitigate impacts of the climate change to their socio-economical environment. The best resource to provide the future projection of an ocean state available today is CMIP5 data and they have been used substantially for evaluating future coastal marine environment.

This 2-part presentation starts with an easy intro to Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and putting RRI in the context of NFR and Horizon2020 proposal writing (30 min) followed by discussion Q/A and RRI exercises for moe in-depth exposure.
