Nepal has made significant efforts towards low-emission development, using government tools to encourage finance flows towards climate action. However, achieving its ambitions will be difficult given current
Capitalizing on the most recent worldwide estimates of the impacts of climate change on agricultural production, this paper assesses the economic effects of climate change for Southeast Asian countries through 2080. The results suggest that the aggregate impacts of agricultural damages caused by climate change on the global economy are moderate.
Supermarket refrigeration is making a worrying contribution to climate change. About one quarter of the carbon footprint of supermarkets comes from the cooling gases used in their refrigeration systems
This IGES brief is based on the outcomes of the consultations on post-2012 climate regime and pertinent literature review.
This paper synthesizes the findings of a study carried out by Ecoagriculture Partners and the International Institute for Environment and Development on behalf of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation to explore opportunities for sustainable development in East Africa.
Rising air and water temperatures, decreasing ice cover, and shorter winters are some of the ecosystem trends predicted to continue in the Great Lakes region as a result of climate change.
A National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) has been drawn up by the government on realising the degree of dependency that India's masses and economy have on the climate. This is with the objective of best charting out India's adaption techniques to the changing climate as well as to enhance it's sustainability initiatives.
<p>Although the issue of anthropogenic climate forcing and public health is widely recognized, one fundamental aspect has remained underappreciated: the impact of climatic change on plant biology and the well-being of human systems. The authors aimed to critically evaluate the extant and probable links between plant function and human health, drawing on the pertinent literature.</p> <p><strong><a href="http://ehp.niehs.nih.gov/11501/" target="_blank">Original Source</a></strong></p>
To achieve efficacy in scale up efforts, different approaches are likely to be appropriate for different countries and interventions.
As climate change sucks oxygen from the world's oceans it could create huge dead zones that will last tens of thousands of years.
This article compares the future trajectory of carbon emissions of the Annex I countries under the Kyoto Protocol with the emission reduction targets being discussed in the US and the European Union. If the Annex I countries follow these trajectories, they would meet the Kyoto Protocol commitment in terms of the stock of emissions since 2008, only in 2021 or 2024.
