is due in part to exclusionary housing practices that also affect those communities' ability to adapt to other climate concerns. Neighborhoods that lack urban green infrastructure (or "environmental amenities") are 12°F hotter on average during a heatwave than wealthier neighborhoods, for example. ...
Noticeably, the city-scale assessment of biological vulnerability to climate change has its own unique feature and methodology requirement relative to global and regional assessments. As an example, in addition to climate change, the process of urbanization and the related anthropogenic activities also ...
Self-conscious about his idealism, or perhaps just realistic, the president gave voice to his doubts about the panels: “A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greate...
Some models were likely to have “limited use as they do not adequately communicate the level of risk we are likely to face if we fail to decarbonise quickly enough,” the paper released on Tuesday said. It also found that significant factors were sometimes missing from models. For example,...
It's also true that poor Americans are at higher risk from climate change. 事实上,美国穷人受到气候变化影响的风险也更高。 For example, you know, if you can't afford to run your air conditioner during a heat wave, that can be dangerous. 比方说,如果你无法负担热浪天气下的空调费用,那就会...
19. The temporal overshoot of 2023 now challenges the Paris Agreement to keep global warming well below 2 °C20. The IPCC’s special report21on exactly this scientifically questionable climate target20can be understood as a useful example of science communication that fostered a wide range of ...
In developing the Gulf Coast resiliency report, for example, Entergy worked with Swiss Re to develop regional models for climate risk assessment. Public–private partnerships are another way to finance new investments in resiliency (see sidebar, “The role of regulation”). O...
Such an assessment can further inform the climate policy, as it allows for an effective prioritisation of affected cases. In any case, the sea level rise scenario is an illustrative example, as the core of this paper lies in the hierarchical clustering and its relation to policy-based ...
Mitigation and adaption to climate change have been on the political agenda for a few years, though there are few globally recognized regulations and limitations on, for example, greenhouse gas emissions. Often, regulatory changes are long processes with lengthy negotiations. According to the ...
