The original application was registered suo-motu on the basis of the news item titled …
High and low ambient temperatures are associated with increased mortality in temperate and subtropical climates. Temperature-related mortality patterns are expected to change throughout this century because of climate change. The researchers compared mortality associated with heat and cold in UK regions and Australian cities for current and projected climates and …
There has been evidence since 1950 of changes in climate extremes. Observed changes in climate extremes reflect the influence of anthropogenic climate change in addition to natural climate variability, with changes in exposure and vulnerability influenced by both climatic and nonclimatic factors. Changes in climate extremes vary across regions with …
A combination of global warming and population growth means more people will be exposed to extreme weather systems, with an ageing population particularly at risk from heatwaves, says Royal Society The double whammy of global warming and a growing, ageing population will mean peoples’ exposure to deadly heatwaves will multiply …
This document investigates how we can reduce the impact of extreme weather today while preparing ourselves for future changes, and what we can do to build our resilience. The authors explore these and other key questions to help inform important decisions about adaptation and risk reduction that are being made …
(Reuters) - Fiscal incentives for carbon capture should be part of the global climate change agreement that replaces the Kyoto Protocol, 56 countries belonging to the U.N. Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) said in a statement on Tuesday. The recommendation by the UNECE member states puts the issue formally on …
When it comes to climate change and global warming, extreme weather can play a major role in proving its existence-or can it? Scientists have found that climate change skeptics are unmoved by droughts, floods, heat waves and other weather events. Only about 35 percent of U.S citizens believe that global …
Heat-wave frequency, intensity, and duration are increasing with global climate change. The association between heat and mortality in the elderly is well documented, but less is known regarding associations with hospital admissions. The goal of the study was to determine associations between moderate and extreme heat, heat waves, and hospital …
Almost 100 million people were affected across the globe by natural disasters last year, with 90 per cent from the Asia Pacific region, says a new report released by International Red Cross. These disasters include extreme weather events like floods, droughts, heat waves and cyclones.
Extreme weather conditions such as floods and heatwaves are pushing countries across Europe into taking action to adapt to a changing climate, a study has found. The report questioned 30 European countries about action to cope with the impacts of climate change on areas ranging from agriculture to human health, …
Three quarters of European countries have placed adapting to disruption from climate change on the political agenda, but the same percentage cite factors such as time, money or technologies as a barrier to taking action, in the most comprehensive survey of the issue to date. The European Environment Agency survey …
The summer of 2013 was the hottest on record in Eastern China. Severe extended heatwaves affected the most populous and economically developed part of China and caused substantial economic and societal impacts. The estimated direct economic losses from the accompanying drought alone total 59 billion RMB. Summer (June–August) mean temperature …
In the summer of 2010-2011 Western Australia experienced an unprecedented heatwave — but not on land. Between December 2010 and April 2011, sea temperatures off the WA coast reached 3C above average, and for two weeks peaked at 5C above average — 28C compared to the normal 23C. The effects …
Record temperatures in Australia in 2013 were almost certainly caused by man-made climate change, five separate studies have found. Researchers from the University of Melbourne, the Australian National University and the University of NSW have concluded it is "virtually impossible" that the heatwaves that hit Australia in 2013 would have …
Hyderabad, Mumbai and Shimla spanning 2005 - 2012. We developed Poisson regression models to study ‘the main temperature effect’ as well as ‘additional impacts’ of sustained high and low temperatures (i.e. heat and cold waves) on all-cause mortality risk. Results: We find large heterogeneity among mortality risks across urban areas. …
Climate change can make heat waves more likely and more severe, according to a study in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society that found fewer clear links to extreme weather such as drought and storms. Twenty independent teams looked at 16 events around the world in 2013, including in …
A report investigates the causes of a wide variety of extreme weather and climate events from around the world in 2013. Published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, "Explaining Extreme Events of 2013 from a Climate Perspective" addresses the causes of 16 individual extreme events that occurred on …
The main objective of the JRC PESETA II project (Projection of Economic impacts of climate change in Sectors of the European Union based on bottom-up Analysis) has been to analyse in an integrated way the possible impacts of climate change in Europe. The EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change, …
This report analyses impacts of four extreme weather events (a heat wave in Russia, flooding in Pakistan, drought in East Africa, and a typhoon in the Philippines) on food security. For each case, the nature of the extreme weather is characterized, and its impact on vulnerable people is assessed by …
Amid soaring temperatures in Southern California, several people are treated for heat exposure No relief from soaring temperatures in Southern California is expected until Wednesday Southern California schools plan special precautions to prevent students from overheating during heat wave As soaring temperatures blistered Southern California for another day, tens of …
The Climate and Development Outlook – India Special Edition shares news of CDKN’s projects across this diverse and climate-affected country. Many of the projects focus on building climate resilience, particularly among vulnerable populations: Leadership on climate compatible development is emerging in states, districts and cities across India, which is celebrated …
