The economic costs of climate change can be large, or perhaps non-existent. We cannot tell before experiencing climate change, and thus the social cost of carbon is partly based on subjective beliefs. We take a dataset of estimates for the carbon price as a representation of beliefs, and develop a tractable stochastic climate-economy model that replicates the distribution of estimates. We use t...

The value of climate information has been explored by various scholars and in sectors, but its operational use, particularly water resources management, countries like Brazil remains limited. This article describes inflow forecast systems used the process allocation state Ceará (Brazil) evaluates their performance at three key reservoirs for forecasts issued January period from to May when most...

Good health status is one of the primary aspirations of human social development and, as a consequence, health indicators are key components of the human development indices by which we measure progress toward sustainable development. Certain diseases and ill health are associated with particular environmental and climate conditions. The timeframe of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) dema...

This paper discusses visualisation of climate data. The possible use of an information mural for this purpose is explored as well as the potential of enhancing the visualisation with motion. It is investigated how these techniques help in the analysis of data distribution regarding different data dimensions such as temperature and precipitation. The work is accompanied by a presentation of the ...

Advances in our fundamental understanding of the physical climate system provided the necessary scientific underpinnings for the routine production of reliable seasonal climate forecasts and ultimately, the birth of the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI). While recognizing that the successful adoption of climate information into various decision-making settings requi...

climate change phenomenon is an important environmental challenge of the world. increasing extension of greenhouse gases and remote relationship phenomena accelerate the speed f climate change. changes in precipitation level, drought occurrence and changes in the level of surface and groundwater resources are the recognized consequences of climate change. in order to study consequences of clima...

climate change around the world is now a reality that has adverse effects on the environment and human health. there is little information about the effect of climate change on food systems, especially seafood from the farm to the table. the aim of this study was to review the fundamental effects of climate change on seafood safety and human health. climate change is expected to increase chemic...

An approach to agricultural management is to select and to identify susceptible regions for sowing according to the climatologic and physiographic condition of the land. Knowing this enables the farmers to farm in line with the physical and climatologic conditions of the land and to decrease the crop injuries due to the undesirable climatologic conditions. There fore, this approach can be an ef...
