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...
Fig. 1: Climate change impacts for desert birds when global mean temperatures are 2 °C warmer than pre-industrial values. The climate change impacts are shown as estimated changes in mean values (panelsb,d, andf; “Δ” represent value changes; warmer colors indicate higher impact) and ...
greenhouse gas emissions and nitrogen pollution. This study evaluated 49 best management practices globally, identifying grid-specific adaptation measures. It highlights the need for region-specific strategies and advanced modelling to sustain food security, mitigate climate change and protect environmental ...
change, indirectly affecting species assemblages and communities, and ecosystem functioning and services. Forest fires in Southeast Asia can negatively impact species and alter communities. For example, Sumatran bird diversity declined with open field species replacing forest specialists (e.g., understorey...
Soybeans and rice are also projected to decrease in some areas, although the researchers' models have not yet agreed on the impact this will have globally. Stunning photos of climate change72 photos The anticipatedclimate changes, however, are expected to increase wheat crop yields, but not in...
1:36 How climate change threatens public health Climate 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% ...
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...
Over the longer time frame out to 2100, studies of climate change impacts on air quality suggest the same effects on background O3and on O3in polluted regions as described above, but the impact is typically larger with the larger climate signal. In a multi-model study, Doherty et al. [34...
根据第二段"Climate change-induced shocks are claiming lives,damaging health and disrupting(扰乱) livelihoods in all parts of the world right now.That means no continent or community remains untouched,"says Ian Hamilton at University College London.("目前,气候变化引发的冲击正在世界各地夺去生命,损害...
Key messages • Climate change (increases in temperature, changes in precipitation and decreases in ice and snow) is occurring globally and in Europe; some of the observed changes have established records in recent years. • Observed climate change has already led to a wide range of impacts ...
