Climate change impactstudy on costal lagoons and estuaries has concentrated on observing water temperature enhancement, nutrient loads, andeutrophication(Kirilova et al., 2011). Rise in water temperature of theChesapeake Bayestuary by 0.8°C–1.1°C since the mid-20th century and Narragansett Bay by...
Climate-change impacts are the consequences of climate change – both expected and realised – for natural and human systems. Climate impacts research is typically interdisciplinary and frequently involves the construction of climate impact models. Some key research themes include: ecology, water resources...
There is a growing concern of the effect of climate change with rising global temperature on the well-being and health of populations across the world. Cumulative scientific data for more than 50 years indicate that global warming is from the greenhouse effect of rising carbon dioxide [CO2] in...
and carbon-flux data, the authors show that enhanced gross primary productivity in recent decades is driven primarily by increases in the rate, rather than the duration, of carbon uptake. They highlight asymmetric changes in productivity across seasons, which may worsen under climate change. ...

While we strive to reduce our own impact, we believe that effectively addressing climate change also requires a collective response. To this end, we engage regularly with industry, non-governmental organizations and other stakeholders to promote actions that protect the climate and we have a long ...
The impact of climate change on waste management infrastructure is likely to become increasingly important and there are some threats which should not be ignored. Landfills have a significant long-lived pollution potential due to slow degradation of biodegradable content and insufficient flushing of leach...
Climate change impacts are not evenly distributed globally, which will result in an increase in inequalities. The UNDP hopes that by highlighting that the future is not predetermined, people can step up climate action everywhere. Meanwhile, the UNDP has also launched the How Just Transition Can De...
Climate change and infectious-health risks are threatening health systems across the globe. High-impact investments that address these risks concurrently could also help build resilient health systems.(9 pages)The world has had a rude awakening when it comes to the vulnerability of its health ...
