Agriculture will face significant challenges in the 21st century, largely due to the need to increase global food supply under the declining availability of soil and water resources and increasing threats from climate change.
A Global Financial Architecture for Climate Change (Global Financial Architecture) is needed to shift public and private finance and investment flows towards decoupling economic growth from increasing greenhouse gas emissions to a low carbon and
This Strategic Framework serves to guide and support the operational response of the World Bank Group (WBG) to new development challenges posed by global climate change. The WBG recognizes the very complex political process toward long-term cooperative action within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Framework will help the WBG maintain the
The primary focus of this report is on the consequences of climate change for the infrastructure and operations of U.S. transportation. The report provides transportation professionals with an overview of the scientific consensus on those current and future climate changes of particular relevance to U.S. transportation, including the limitations of present scientific
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.
This Policy Report is another significant study in the area of climate change and energy security, an important part of AICGS
This report summarizes the findings and recommendations from the Expert Meeting on New Scenarios. Adhering to the catalytic role defined by the IPCC, the report thus describes the current state of planning by the scientific community for preparation of new scenarios.
Measures to mitigate climate change are defined as any human (anthropogenic) intervention that can either reduce the sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (abatement) or enhance their sinks (sequestration).
