One of the most compelling reasons for pursuing low-carbon development is that the potential impacts of climate change are predicted to be severe, for both industrial and developing countries, and that reducing greenhouse gas emissions can reduce the risk of the most catastrophic impacts.
The purpose of this study is to examine the possible local impacts of cap-and-trade climate policy on agricultural producers in the Northern Plains. This study explicitly considers farmer behavior with respect to agricultural opportunity in carbon offset provision and ability of adaptation to mitigate the production cost impact under a cap-and-trade climate policy.
Background: The divergent glacial histories of southern and northern Europe affect present-day species diversity at coarse-grained scales in these two regions, but do these effects also penetrate to the more fine-grained scales of local communities?
In the Republic of Korea, most denuded forest lands have been restored since the 1960s. In addition, the annual mean temperature in the Republic of Korea has increased approximately equal to 1.0°C during the last century, which is higher than the global mean increase of 0.74°C. Such rapid environmental changes may have resulted in changes in the local butterfly fauna.
Voorzitter Henk van Alderwegen van Waterschap Peel en Maasvallei overhandigde op 5 februari 2010 het eerste officiële exemplaar van het boek 'Het brede beekdal als klimaatbestendige buffer in de veranderende leefomgeving' aan Peter Glas, de nieuwe voorzitter van de Unie van Waterschappen.
The world development report 2010 estimates that an additional $200 billion per year of climate-related financing is needed in developing countries between now and 2030 to keep global average temperature rise within 2 degrees Celsius. Developing countries face increased financing challenges over coming decades as they seek to pursue economic development along a lower emission trajectory.
Klimaatadaptatie vindt op dit moment plaats in honderden projecten overal in Nederland. Bij de rivieren, langs de kust, in de polders, maar ook in de stad en op het platteland. Het Ministerie van VROM vroeg het onderzoeksprogramma Kennis voor Klimaat dit proces in kaart te brengen.
The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol allows Afforestation and Reforestation (A/R) projects as mitigation activities to offset the CO2 in the atmosphere whilst simultaneously seeking to ensure sustainable development for the host country.
