متن کاملImpacts of Climate Change on Vector Borne Diseases in the Mediterranean Basin — Implications for Preparedness and Adaptation Policy
The Mediterranean region is vulnerable to climatic changes. A warming trend exists in the basin with changes in rainfall patterns. It is expected that vector-borne diseases (VBD) in the region will be influenced by climate change since weather conditions influence their emergence. For some diseases (i.e., West Nile virus) the linkage between emergence andclimate change was recently proved; for ...

1 Acknowledgements The PI thanks Stephanie Myer and A.J. Downie, both research assistants of the project, for conducting excellent research work and preparing the first draft of the final report. Thanks also go to Mr. suggestions, review, and other assistance. The PI is very grateful to all the people who participated in the adaptation options survey.
متن کاملThe science of climate change in Africa: impacts and adaptation
the African climate is determined at the macro-level by three major processes or drivers: tropical convection, the alternation of the monsoons, and the el niño-southern oscillation of the Pacific ocean. the first two are local processes that determine the regional and seasonal patterns of temperature and rainfall. the last is more remote in its origin, but strongly influences the year to year r...
متن کاملUncertainty in climate change impacts on basin - scale freshwater resources
This paper presents a preface to this Special Issue on the results of the QUEST-GSI (Global Scale Impacts) project on climate change impacts on catchment scale water resources. A detailed description of the unified methodology, subsequently used in all studies in this issue, is provided. The project method involved running simulations of catchmentscale hydrology using a unified set of past and ...
