The UNEP “Policy Implications of Warming Permafrost” report describes the current and potential future status of permafrost and makes policy recommendations to address the impacts of permafrost degradation
As the world’s largest distributed store of fresh water, ground water plays a central part in sustaining ecosystems and enabling human adaptation to climate variability and change. The strategic importance
Depletion in, what is, the nation’s gushing resource today, would be the most likely scenario it could expect in not so distant future. This was based on the findings of Brigham Young University’s professor,
A U.N. report on rising greenhouse gas emissions reminded world governments on Wednesday that their efforts to fight climate change are far from enough to meet their stated goal of limiting global warming to 2°C (3.6°F). The report by the U.N. Environment Programme, released just days ahead of a major climate conference, said the concentration of heat-trapping greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is up about 20 per cent since 2000.
THE World Bank has warned the planet is on track to warm by 4 degrees this century, leading to more extreme heat waves, lower crop yields and increased flooding, possibly as early as 2060. In a report
Atmospheric volumes of greenhouse gases blamed for climate change hit a new record in 2011, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said in its annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin on Tuesday. The volume
This European Environment Agency (EEA) report presents information on past and projected climate change and related impacts in Europe, based on a range of indicators. The report also assesses the vulnerability
Says 10.7% of S Asia’s agricultural land will be exposed to inundation Since the 2009 UNFCCC conference, the global climate talks have accepted the scientific view that the increase in global temperature should be kept within a 2°C radius of pre-industrial times, towards which “deep cuts in global emissions are required”. But so far from deep have these cuts been that a new World Bank report, 'Turn Down the Heat', warns that even if current mitigation commitments and pledges are fully implemented, there is a roughly 20% likelihood of the world warming by more than 4°C by 2100, with a 10% chance of 4°C being exceeded as early as the 2060s.
