More generally, the PCCSP supports research aimed at better understanding the climate of the Pacific, the effects of climate change on major climate features, and, via downscaling, the effects of climate change at sub-island scales. The activities to be described in this presentation will include...
in the environment. In this review, we discuss the implications of climate change impacts on existing and potential future sources of radionuclides associated with human activities to the marine environment. The overall effect on operational releases of radionuclides from the nuclear and non-nuclear...

This paper reviews the current understanding of the effect of climate change on extreme sea levels in the South Pacific region. This region contains many locations that are vulnerable to extreme sea levels in the current climate, and projections indicate that this vulnerability will increase in the...
Generally speaking, those who are mostcautiousabout geo-engineering are the scientists involved in the research.Angel says that his plan is ‘nosubstitutefor developing renewable energy: the onlypermanentsolution’.And Dr Phil Rasch of the US-basedPacificNorthwest National Laboratory is equally guarded...

I think the most pressing problem for India is heat, in terms of both heat waves and chronic heat. Bibek Bhattacharya Oliver Tonby:I just want to stick with you on India for a little while here. What you’re describing has some very real and very tangible effects...
Holding warming to 1.5°C above preindustrial levels could limit the most dangerous and irreversible effects of climate change. Explore the interactive The net-zero transition: Implications for Asia-Pacific McKinsey convened a virtual event for decision makers in Asia featuring the findings of our la...
Climate change is the alteration of the climate of Earth. It has been widely observed as a significant change in climate patterns, including changes in rain patterns, temperature changes, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. Ecological succession is the natural process when one species...
