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
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...
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...
The first day with no sea ice in the Arctic will be a visible sign of climate change. This work reveals that this could occur before 2030 already and becomes more likely as the world warms. As the ice thins, the triggers are extreme weather events. ...
1:36 How climate change threatens public healthClimate change influences human health and disease as extreme weather and pollution increases globally.Scientists have made a distressing discovery on how global warming will affect known infectious diseases. Climate hazards are expected to aggravate 58% of...
Climate change leads to extreme weather events, floods, droughts, and wildfires • Extreme weather events impact the emission and transformation of contaminants • Climate change impacts the contaminant risk assessment and remediation processes • Practices adaptive to climate change are needed to man...
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 ...
Climate changeModelingVaccine-preventable diseasesPurpose of Review Vaccine-preventable diseases remain a major public health concern globally. Climate is a key driver of the dynamics of many infectious diseases, including those that are vaccine preventable. Understanding the impact of climate change on ...
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...
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...
