This necessitates the downscaling of global climate models to regional levels. The contributions to this CR Special investigate the effects of changing climate on the natural and socio-economic environment of the Baltic region, under the following broad topics: (1) variations in paleo-climate reconstructed through measurements, and the interpretation of climate proxies; (2) modeling of past climate change and future projection; (3) climate–anthroposphere interactions; and (4) climate variability and change and its effects on Baltic Sea coasts.
