Roof Top Farming a Solution to Food Security and Climate Change Adaptation for Cities
Two distinct phenomena shape our planet: more than half of the world’s human population is urbanised (World Watch Institute 2007); and global warming induced climate change is a grave threat. Modern cities, in ecological terms, have become parasitic energy and resource ‘sinks,’ consuming 75% of the world’s resources on only 2% of the global land area (TFPC 1999). In this way cities ‘short-circu...
متن کاملOil shortages, climate change and collective action.
Concerns over future oil scarcity might not be so worrying but for the high carbon content of substitutes, and the limited capacity of the atmosphere to absorb additional CO(2) from burning fuel. The paper argues that the tools of economics are helpful in understanding some of the key issues in pricing fossil fuels, the extent to which pricing can be left to markets, the need for, and design of...
متن کاملClimate Change and Food Systems
Food systems contribute 19%–29% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, releasing 9,800–16,900 megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) in 2008. Agricultural production, including indirect emissions associated with land-cover change, contributes 80%–86% of total food system emissions, with significant regional variation. The impacts of global climate change on food syste...

متن کاملAdaptation to Climate Change
We investigate the effect of climate change on population growth in 18th and 19th century Iceland. We find that annual temperature changes help determine the population growth rate in preindustrial Iceland: a year 1◦C cooler than average drives down population growth rates by 0.57% in each of the next two years, for a total effect of 1.14%. We also find that 18th and 19th century Icelanders ada...
