This report focuses on the risks of climate change to development in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and parts of Europe and Central Asia. Building on earlier Turn Down
The importance of weather, climate, and water information is rising because of the need to minimize growing economic losses, serve more elaborate societal needs, and help countries adapt to climate change.
<p>The Bali Action Plan shines with lots of hopes for developing countries that in two years there would be a shared vision to combat global warming. In that plan, the shared vision was portrayed as a ‘long term cooperative action” which would include a “long term global goal for emission reduction”.
<p>With El Nino’ s return , the farmers and policy makers in Asia are bracing for prolonged droughts and crop destruction that would push up food prices in the region says this IMF working paper</p>
Reefs, mangrove forests and inland wetlands in arid regions can play a very cost-effective role in attenuating the impacts of extreme weather events such as the impacts of hurricanes and cyclones, extremes in precipitation and increases in evaporation due to higher temperatures. Inland wetlands can reduce extremes in runoff from of rivers.
<p>People living in different coastal areas of Bangladesh have been suffering from lack of food security.
The main motivation of this comprehensive study is to understand climatological and fluctuation features of the extreme rainfall events (EREs) considering detailed account of spatial variability of rainfall occurrences. Experiences suggest that the EREs are embedded in the large-scale, long period intense rainfall activities during the summer monsoon period.
The city of Dar es Salaam, with a population of more than four million, has no climate change adaptation plan. It also has a very large development deficit and lacks adequate provision for infrastructure
This report explores the answer to a difficult question: what are the potential costs for coastal adaptation from 2010 until 2050 in response to human-induced climate change?
This paper reflects on the progress made in climate change adaptation in the city of Durban since the launch of the Municipal Climate Protection Programme in 2004. This includes the initial difficulties
This report explores how people live and deal with change in order to understand their communication needs and help them respond to changes in climate. Sections 1 and 2 of the report highlight how recent
This study estimates the weather sensitivity of rice yield in India, using disaggregated (district) level information on rice and high resolution daily weather data over the period 1969-2007. Compared
The impacts of climate variability, climate change, and extreme events are visible globally and in India. The Global Climate Risk Index 2021 ranks India seventh, considering the extent to which India has
Centre for Science and Environment says the conference’s decisions will not result in a climate deal in 2015 Bad for India. Global warming will increase, India may see more extreme weather events which
This paper identifies key challenges and solutions for carrying out project-level economic analysis of adaptation to climate change, both stand-alone and integrated into broader development projects.
The impacts of climate variability, climate change, and extreme events are visible globally and in India. The Global Climate Risk Index 2021 ranks India seventh, considering the extent to which India has
This World Bank paper reviews the literature on the potential biophysical and economic impacts of climate change in the Himalayas. It indicates that the temperature is rising at a higher rate in Nepal and Chinese regions of the Himalayas compared with rest of the Himalayas.
As part of the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN), TERI has made an assessment of the risk and vulnerability of the city of Guwahati (Assam, India) and has prepared a detailed City
A growing body of scientific evidence strongly suggests that climate change has enormous and diverse effects on human health. Rises in temperature and sea level & extreme weather events such as floods cause water logging & contamination, which in turn exacerbate diarrhoeal diseases.
This document by national climate centre of IMD computes district wise drought probabilities across India for 319 districts having long data series of rainfall. Has done mapping for moderate & severe drought probabilities for various districts & demarcates regions belonging to different class intervals of probabilities of drought.
