<p>It is axiomatic that the climate impacts documented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are likely to undermine the realization of a range of protected human rights. Yet it is only in the recent past that an explicit human rights approach has been
<p>Summer 2010 saw a new suite of climate change studies from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) with the stark conclusion that “Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for—and in many cases is already affecting—a broad range of human and natural systems.
<p>Right to Information Initiative undertaken by Climate Revolution Initiative involves a large number of RTI applications filed under various government ministries and institutions on their response to climate change and revealing it through a series of disclosures.
<p>This new report by Pesticide Action Network Asia and the Pacific (PAN AP) focuses on agriculture as the most vulnerable sector to climate change. It discusses how abrupt changes in the weather are threatening the livelihood of people in the Asia-Pacific region mainly small-scale and subsistence farmers and landless workers, fishers and indigenous peoples. </p>
Over the past decade, Asia and the Pacific has made significant progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. However, accelerating climate change is threatening to reverse these gains, and those who are already economically and socially vulnerable are likely to suffer soonest and most.
<p>People living in different coastal areas of Bangladesh have been suffering from lack of food security.
<p>USAID recognizes the need to proactively address the implications of glacier melt, including the drivers of the process and the factors that may impede adaptation.
<p>This study presents the patterns and determinants of agricultural systems of the Hill Tracts of Chittagong, and modeling of food security and environmental degradation, and climate change impacts.
When it comes to deforestation, the task of reconciling climate and development goals poses a daunting challenge. Forest clearing is both the source of significant greenhouse gas emissions that fuel climate change and, for some farmers, the most practical means for expanding agricultural production to meet rising food demands.
Managing risks from extreme events will be a crucial component of climate change adaptation. In this study, demonstrate an approach to assess future risks and quantify the benefits of adaptation options at a city-scale, with application to flood risk in Mumbai.
