Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden is a major outlet glacier in Northeast-Greenland. Although earlier studies showed that the floating part near the grounding line thinned by 30% between 1999 and 2014, the temporal ice loss evolution, its relation to external forcing and the implications for the grounded ice sheet remain largely unclear. By combining …

Marshlands stretching across the southeast coast of England may be overwhelmed by rising sea levels in the coming decades, scientists have warned. By testing sediment samples, researchers have tracked sea level changes over the past 10,000 years to predict the future of these precious ecosystems. They found that as seawater …
The UK’s historic churches are at serious risk from the impact of climate change, including higher levels of rainfall and invasive pests such as termites, according to the National Churches Trust. Roofs, towers and spires are threatened by strong winds and more frequent storms. The trust saw a 26% year-on-year …

Climate change – and the shortages of water and food that come from it – is becoming increasingly linked to conflict, a senior United Nations official told the Security Council on Wednesday, warning that countries most vulnerable to drought and crop failure are also most vulnerable to conflict and fragility. …
A long-running survey of American attitudes to climate change has found that 73% of people now think there is solid evidence of global warming. A further 60% believe that this warming is due, at least in some part, to human influences. Both of these findings are record highs in a …
Climate change is posing a challenge not only to agricultural crops but also to livestock. In order to sustain rural livelihoods it is critical to identify livestock breeds that are climate resilient. In this direction, Indian scientists have identified two variables which could be used assess resilient capacity of indigenous …
Living standards for half of Indians may fall due to temperature change: Report Hyderabad: Climate change will affect the gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, which would mean a decline of 14.4 per cent in Bangladesh, 9.8 per cent in India, and 10.0 per cent in Sri Lanka by 2050. …
New analysis and modelling released by FAO and more than 100 collaborating scientists projects that by 2050 climate change will have altered the productivity of many of the planet's marine and freshwater fisheries, affecting the livelihoods of millions of the worlds' poorest people. While the productive potential of fisheries in …

The ‘Lethal Consequences: Climate Change Impacts on the Great Barrier Reef,’ report shows the future survival of coral reefs around the world, including the Great Barrier Reef, depends on how deeply and swiftly greenhouse gas pollution levels are slashed over the coming years and decades. Accelerating climate change has driven …
Rising sea levels, accompanied by stronger waves and currents, are likely to reshape the coastlines and potentially inundate or even submerge many low-lying areas. One of the biggest impacts of climate change is likely to be felt along coastlines across the world. Rising sea levels, accompanied by stronger waves and …
For evaluating the impacts of climate change on crop yields regional climate models (RCMs) are now considered better than general circulation models (GCMs). In order to assess what extent the climate output of RCM-RegCM4.0 is biased, this is analysed by comparing the base line simulated daily weather with the observed …
In this paper, it has been made clear that regional cooperation has a significant role to play in addressing the transboundary impacts of climate change in Asia. Regional cooperation enables countries to work together on collective adaptation solutions to address the impacts of climate change on transboundary natural resources and …
