This study investigates the impact of increased global warming on heat stress changes and the potential number of people exposed to heat risks over Africa. For this purpose a heat index has been computed based on an ensemble‐mean of high‐resolution regional climate model simulatio...
2 and 4 °C of global warming above pre-industrial levels, on the basis of operational Polar Code regulations. Profound shifts in ship-accessible season length are projected across the Canadian Arctic, with the largest increases in the Beaufort region (100–200 d at 2 °C to 200–300...
Effects of oceanographic variables such as sea temperature, turbulence, salinity, and nutrients on the coral reef are discussed in terms of their influence on coral growth, reproduction, mortality, acclimation and adaptation. Organisms tend to be limited to specific thermal ranges with experimental ...
Environmental pollution and energy poverty have always been serious challenges for the global energy system. Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2020, this paper uses FE and sys-GMM models to explore the impact of environmental
Under the influence of global warming, the mean climate of the Pacific region will probably undergo significant changes. The tropical easterly trade winds are expected to weaken; surface ocean temperatures are expected to warm fastest near the equator and more slowly farther away; the equatorial ...
changes are the drivers of direct, triggered, and indirect weather events that lessen the world’s human food carrying capacity and diminish ecosystems’ natural resources capacities to meet societal needs. The chapter initiates discussion on reduction of CO2, the driver of global warming....

Globalization helped several African colonies; however, today, most of them are dependent on large wealthy countries over the years. The African colonies are known for their largely consuming economy. The weak agricultural practice and growth make the overall economy worse in Africa. With the decline...
1. The choice of 100 mm is based on empirical evidence over West Africa and East Africa (FAO 1978). If the daily precipitation becomes greater than ½ PET before 100 mm of water is evapotranspired, then the dates are included in the growing season. 3.3 Evaluating confidence Confidence in...
These changes will have major effects on river discharges and water quality19, impacting hydropower generation, agriculture, forestry, tourism and aquatic ecosystems8,20. Many studies have explored the impact of global warming and glacier retreat on glacier runoff, at global21 and regional scales (e...
