BACC II (Second BALTEX Assessment of Climate Change for the Baltic Sea basin) is the successor to BACC, which was terminated with the publication of the BACC book. The purpose of the first BACC assessment (BACC) was to provide the scientific community with an assessment of ongoing climate variations in the Baltic Basin. An important element was the comparison with the historical past. Also, changes in relevant environmental systems, due to climate variations, were assessed – such as hydrological, ocean and ecosystem changes. The work has generated a large activity around the Baltic Sea with more than 80 authors writing the assessment and a close cooperation with HELCOM. The BACC book was published by Springer in January 2008.

The aim of BACC II is to organize and publish an updated assessment by 2014, building on and extending BACC.
