This is an important step for those forced to flee their countries due to climate change. That's because the U.N.'s 1951 Refugee Convention does not cover climate-related migration. It defines refugees as those who are outside their country of origin and have a well-founded fear of persec...
Forestation can be a valuable tool for mitigating climate change. Using an Earth System Model, Moustakis et al. show that ambitious deployment in the range of country pledges can mitigate global temperature under an overshoot pathway by 0.2 oC, but highlight the associated socioeconomic tradeof...
Climate change and terrigenous inputs decrease the efficiency of the future Arctic Ocean’s biological carbon pump Changes in the Arctic could impact the oceanic carbon sequestration of the region. Here the authors consider regional biogeochemistry, including coastal erosion and river inputs, to show ...
the world's atolls are located in one of the five polynesian archipelagos, many of its islands are elevated and mountainous. However, in 2013, the country's newly re-elected president, Gaston Flosse, attempted to place French Polynesia on the international climate change-induced migration map....
Humanity has long adapted to various climatic conditions through migration, behavioral changes, and technological solutions. But today’s climate change is of a different nature: it is the direct result of human activity, is happening faster than before, and is giving rise to ...
the impacts disproportionately affect historically marginalized populations3—those in urban and rural settings—multiplying the threats to the drivers of health (environmental, social, economic), while triggering migration, food insecurity, and mental health impacts. The resulting conditions can ultimately ...
It is recommended to read this story-map on a desktop or tablet. Methodology Summary Source:www.worldpop.org In Iran, projected climate change impacts through 2040 are on course to combine with poor governance and the impacts of international sanctions to jeopardize stability and regional security....
Climate Change Scam,Fossil Fuels,gas,unreliables|1 Comment Fossil-fuels to the rescue, again! Industrial UNreliables (wind/solar). What-a-farce. JS The story here refers to Britain’s ‘gas addiction’, but a renewables addiction will be far more problematic. At present gas power stations ...
Climate change is expected to impact river flows globally through both precipitation responses to CO2 increases and plant-physiological changes that modify runoff, but the relative importance of these drivers for basin-wide hydrologic change remains uncertain. Here, using Earth System Model (ESM) experi...
Fig.1illustrates the concept of adaptive migration. As temperatures change over time (fromt1tot2), crop areas may or may not shift. We compare the changes in growing season temperatures experienced in actual harvested areas to a counterfactual in which harvested areas are held constant at the be...
