Climate change velocity underestimates climate change exposure in mountainous regions
Climate change velocity is a vector depiction of the rate of climate displacement used for assessing climate change impacts. Interpreting velocity requires an assumption that climate trajectory length is proportional to climate change exposure; longer paths suggest greater exposure. However, distance is an imperfect measure of exposure because it does not quantify the extent to which trajectori...
متن کاملClimate change and nutrition: creating a climate for nutrition security.
BACKGROUND Climate change further exacerbates the enormous existing burden of undernutrition. It affects food and nutrition security and undermines current efforts to reduce hunger and promote nutrition. Undernutrition in turn undermines climate resilience and the coping strategies of vulnerable populations. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this paper are to identify and undertake a cross-sectora...
متن کاملCurrent state of glaciers in the tropical Andes: a multi-century perspective on glacier evolution and climate change
The aim of this paper is to provide the community with a comprehensive overview of the studies of glaciers in the tropical Andes conducted in recent decades leading to the current status of the glaciers in the context of climate change. In terms of changes in surface area and length, we show that the glacier retreat in the tropical Andes over the last three decades is unprecedented since the ma...
