Abstract: Global warning impacts to Timor-Leste are discussed by using the world future climate database 4dPDF. The future climate with 4 K increment in the air temperature is compared with the current climate, and the climate change in Timor-Leste is analyzed. The air temperature in Timor-Leste also increases, however the degree of increment is lower than the world global average. The amount of rainfall in Timor-Leste also increases about 10 % in the future, and its increase is mainly in the wet season (January and February). On the other hand, sunshine and wind speed in the future don’t change evidently from the current climate.
