Climate scenarios in the Mediterranean region predicts raising temperatures and more frequent and extreme drought conditions. Cork oak is a Mediterranean species with a large distribution in Portugal from which cork is extracted in a sustainable way and mainly used as the raw material for cork ...
3. Vulnerability.In many of Asia’s cities, a sizable chunk of the urban poor face high exposure to climate change impacts. To increase their coping capacity, we must identify their location and dynamics to better understand them, and then plan how to mitigate the direct effects of cl...
An analysis of what it would take to mitigate climate change offers a stark reality check, and a roadmap to help business leaders and policymakers understand the challenges and choices ahead.
This paper has analyzed the strategic interaction between two principal policy options in responding to global climate change. The tool of analysis is a simple game-theoretic framework in which identical and selfish regions independently decide either to mitigate and/or to adapt. We take into account...

To mitigate adverse effects of climate variability on tomato productivity, adaptive strategies resulted in reduction in agro-biodiversity, release of greenhouse gas, pollution of nearby water, increasing soil acidity above the optimum requirement of tomato, adverse effects of household farm labor, ...
COP28 holds its first Health Day as concern grows about the effects of climate change - from disease outbreaks to air pollution.
You can talk about some of the ways you are doing your part to mitigate the effects of climate change, such as taking part in adaptation efforts or reducing your contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. In the home, you can discuss some of the ways you can act as a family, such as re...
Climate-change projections (e.g., those from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology) indicate an increasing incidence of extreme climatic conditions across the globe (and Australia) related to increased temperatures, episodes of drought and flooding,...
As the climate crisis has made heatwaves more likely and more intense, cities are taking measures to mitigate the adverse effects of extreme temperatures.
