Climate Change 2022 – Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability
The Working Group II contribution to the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) provides a comprehensive assessment of the scientific literature relevant to climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The report recognizes the interactions of climate, ecosystems and biodiversity, and human societies, and integrates across the natural, ecological, social and economic sciences. It emphasizes how efforts in adaptation and in reducing greenhouse gas emissions can come together in a process called climate resilient development, which enables a liveable future for biodiversity and humankind. The IPCC is the leading body for assessing climate change science. IPCC reports are produced in comprehensive, objective and transparent ways, ensuring they reflect the full range of views in the scientific literature. Novel elements include focused topical assessments, and an atlas presenting observed climate change impacts and future risks from global to regional scales. Available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

World Development Report 2023
Migration is a development challenge. About 184 million people--2.3 percent of the world's population--live outside of their country of nationality. Almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. But what lies ahead? As the world struggles to cope with global economic imbalances, diverging demographic trends, and climate change, migration will become a necessity in the decades to come for countries at all levels of income. If managed well, migration can be a force for prosperity and can help achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. 'World Development Report 2023' proposes an innovative approach to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements on b...
Rio de Janeiro
Using Rio de Janeiro as the case study city, this book highlights and examines issues surrounding the development of mega-cities in Latin America and beyond. Complex dynamics of urbanization such as mega-event-driven development, infrastructure investment, and informal urban expansion are intertwined with changing climatic conditions that demand new approaches to sustainable urbanism. The urban conditions facing 21st century cities such as Rio emphasize the need to revisit urban forms, reintegrate infrastructure, and re-evaluate practices. With contributions from 15 scholars from several countries exploring urbanism, urbanization, and climate change, this book provides insights into the contextual and environmental issues shaping Rio in the age of globalization. Each of the book’s three sections addresses an interdisciplinary range of topics impacting urbanism in Latin America, which will be accessible to researchers and professionals interested in urbanization, urban design, sustainability, planning, and architecture.

Innovación y Tendencias Educativas: un camino hacia las nuevas formas de aprendizaje
Vivimos en una sociedad en constante evolución ya sea por los cambios políticos, sociales o económicos. No es necesario indicar que todo esto repercute en todos los sectores de la sociedad pero pensamos que muy especialmente en la educación. Desde diferentes sectores se está demandando un cambio de modelo pedagógico de las instituciones que responda a las demandas de la nueva sociedad del conocimiento, apuntando hacia una mayor transformación, flexibilización y personalización del aprendizaje. Esto implica, de un lado, innovar en la práctica, cultura y organización de las instituciones educativas dando mayor protagonismo a las tecnologías digitales emergentes y, de otro, reducir la desigualdad y la exclusión social que puedan sucederse en cualquiera de sus formas. Enmarcado en este escenario nos hemos propuesto dar voz a los profesionales que actualmente están investigando a nivel nacional e internacional sobre estas nuevas tendencias educativas, dando a conocer las múltiples experiencias desarrolladas.
Our Warming Planet: Topics In Climate Dynamics
The processes and consequences of climate change are extremely heterogeneous, encompassing many different fields of study. Dr David Rind in his career at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and as a professor at Columbia University has had the opportunity to explore many of these subjects with colleagues from these diverse disciplines. It was therefore natural for the Lectures in Climate Change series to begin with his colleagues contributing lectures on their specific areas of expertise.This first volume, entitled Our Warming Planet: Topics in Climate Dynamics, encompasses topics such as natural and anthropogenic climate forcing, climate modeling, radiation, clouds, atmospheric dyn...
