Climate change and health: recent progress
Editorials 774 It is almost 20 years since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its second assessment report; the first to include a chapter on human health. It is almost eight years since the IPCC and Al Gore were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, for work on climate change. What progress has since been made on the climate change and health agenda? Most relevant ...
متن کاملModeling Climate Change Adaptation: Challenges, Recent Developments and Future Directions
This paper offers a critical review of modeling practice in the field of integrated assessment of climate change and ways forward. Past efforts in integrated assessment have concentrated on developing baseline trajectories of emissions and mitigation scenario analyses. A key missing component in IAMs is the representation of climate impacts and adaptation responses. Through the examination of c...
متن کاملAssessing Vulnerability to Climate Change in Dryland Livelihood Systems: Conceptual Challenges and Interdisciplinary Solutions
Over 40% of the earth’s land surface are drylands that are home to approximately 2.5 billion people. Livelihood sustainability in drylands is threatened by a complex and interrelated range of social, economic, political, and environmental changes that present significant challenges to researchers, policy makers, and, above all, rural land users. Dynamic ecological and environmental change model...
متن کاملchallenges and recent progress Paul
The societal need for reliable climate predictions and a proper assessment of their uncertainties is pressing. Uncertainties arise not only from initial conditions and forcing scenarios, but also from model formulation. Here, we identify and document three broad classes of problems, each representing what we regard to be an outstanding challenge in the area of mathematics applied to the climate...
متن کاملDryland ecohydrology and climate change: critical issues and technical advances
Drylands cover about 40 % of the terrestrial land surface and account for approximately 40 % of global net primary productivity. Water is fundamental to the biophysical processes that sustain ecosystem function and food production, particularly in drylands where a tight coupling exists between ecosystem productivity, surface energy balance, biogeochemical cycles, and water resource availability...
