The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
This book on the climate change, natural resources, landscape and agricultural ecosystems describes the contributing challenges related to natural resources, soil erosion, irrigation planning, water, landscape, sustainable crop yield agriculture and biomass estimation. Natural resources and agricultural ecosystems include factors from nearby regions where landscape and agriculture practices (direct or indirect) interface with the water, vegetation, irrigation planning and ecology. Changes in climatic situations impact all the natural resources, ecology, and landscape of agricultural systems, which affects productivity. This book summarizes the various aspects of soil erosion, soil compaction...
Climate change and its adverse impacts on nature and human society are clearly felt. Who should bear the responsibility? Should anyone be held liable for grave losses and damages related to climate change? In what way and to what extent can these issues be addressed in legal mechanisms both globally and locally? Will an international liability regime an ultimate solution? Are courts ready for and capable of resolving these disputes that find intricacy of law, policy and science? To shed light on these issues, this book is structured with four main themes on the discussions of climate change liability and related mechanisms. They are: 1) state liability and responsibility, 2) climate change l...
Un ouvrage documenté et accessible portant sur les incidences des changements climatiques sur la santé.
Ce rapport aborde la question urgente des pertes et dommages liés au climat. Le changement climatique provoque de profonds bouleversements planétaires ayant des effets néfastes sur le bien-être des populations et leurs moyens de subsistance, et menace les avancées réalisées en termes de développement.
L’Observateur de l’action climatique est une des principales publications du Programme international pour l’action sur le climat (IPAC). Cette synthèse couvre les mesures relatives à la lutte contre les changements climatiques et les progrès accomplis en vue de la neutralité carbone dans 51 pays de l’OCDE et partenaires de l’OCDE.
L’Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’alimentation et l’agriculture (FAO) appuie le développement du PNA pour le secteur de l’agriculture du Sénégal à travers le projet «Sécurité alimentaire: une agriculture adaptée» (SAGA). Ce document a pour objectif d’informer les parties prenantes nationales sur les connaissances scientifiques et traditionnelles disponibles sur l’adaptation aux changements climatiques du secteur agricole au Sénégal. Il présente l’état des lieux des connaissances et jette les bases d’une réflexion sur les lacunes à combler et les ressources qui pourraient être nécessaires afin d’améliorer la collecte de nouvelles données sur l’adaptation à moyen et long terme pour le secteur agricole. Ce travail a été rendu possible grâce à l’appui technique et financier du gouvernement du Québec.
