Global climate change is a reality. In Europe the most vulnerable regions are the Arctic, mountain areas, coastal zones and the Mediterranean. Key economic sectors, which will need to adapt include energy supply, health, water management, agriculture, forestry, tourism and transport.
Climate change impacts are a clear and present danger to the Indian sub-continent. This report presents case studies from different parts of India, where local communities are under the assault of climate change. Calls for action that can help in long term mitigation and local level adaptation and ten broad areas of intervention have also been identified in the given national context.
This study aims to broaden understanding of climate change and its impacts in Argentina. Most focus on climate change in Argentina has been in the north, where impacts are more noticeable. But this study shows how changes in the south, in the Patagonian province of Chubut, are also likely to be significant.
