    Responding to climate-related security risks: Are regional organizations in Asia and Africa ready?

    Responding to climate-related security risks: Are regional organizations in Asia and Africa ready?

    The transnational character of climate-related security risks often goes beyond the capacity of national governments to respond adequately. As such, it creates challenges for and increases the relevance of intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). It is, therefore, not only important to understand the climate-related security risks that regions are experiencing but also to analyze how regional IGOs are developing their capacities to deal with these risks. A newly published stud

    Art can play a valuable role': climate change installations appear in New York

    The existential threat of climate change is being spelled out to New Yorkers via a selection of flashing highway signs that have been placed around the city. The 10 large solar-powered signs have been placed in locations in each of New York’s five boroughs, including areas deemed particularly vulnerable to the sea level rise and powerful storms associated with climate change, including the Rockaways in Queens and the west side of Manhattan. https://www.theguardian.com/artandd

    Climate Smart Growth Could Deliver 26 Trillion USD to 2030, Finds Global Commission

    A major report released by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate finds that many people are significantly under-estimating the benefits of cleaner, climate-smart growth. Bold climate action could deliver at least 26 trillion USD in economic benefits through to 2030, compared with business-as-usual. The 2018 report was presented to the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres at a global launch at UN headquarters in New York City, ahead of the Global Climat

    Australia tried to water down climate change resolution at Pacific Islands Forum: leader

    Australia attempted to water down a resolution on climate change agreed by country representatives at the Pacific Islands Forum, a leader attending the event has claimed. Pacific leaders issued the Boe declaration on Wednesday night, calling climate change “the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific” at the conclusion of the Pacific Islands Forum, which has been held in Nauru this week. However the forum communique –
    Adapt, Move or Die: How Biodiversity Reacted to Past Climate Change

    Adapt, Move or Die: How Biodiversity Reacted to Past Climate Change

    A new paper reviews current knowledge on climate change and biodiversity. In the past, plants and animals reacted to environmental changes by adapting, migrating or going extinct. These findings point to radical changes in biodiversity due to climate change in the future. The paper is published in the scientific journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution by an international group of scientists led by the Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate, University of Copenhagen.

    New Documents Show the Trump Administration Cut Climate Change Impacts from its Energy Plan

    Thus far, the Trump administration has seemed to make it a point to ignore the very real threat of global warming in its policy and unabashedly censor climate science on government websites, reports, and speeches. It should come as a shock to no one, then, that the administration’s recent rollback of the Obama-era Clean Power Plan, has been no different—and gives even more cause for alarm among environmentalists. Introduced in 2015, the Obama administration’s ambitious enviro

    Toxic algal bloom continues to suffocate Florida’s Gulf Coast

    Florida in the United States of America recently declared a state of emergency as a red tide of toxic algae bloomed along its western coastline killing marine animals, disrupting tourism and causing respiratory problems. Algal blooms, their toxic emissions and the oxygen-starved dead zones they leave in their wake are not new to Florida, nor are they specific to the United States. They are a global phenomenon, and increasingly a global problem. Coastal algal blooms are often

    Identifying hotspots for gender-focused climate-smart interventions

    In a recently published paper, "Woman in agriculture, and climate risks: hotspots for development," by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), "hotspots" for climate risks and women in agriculture have been identified. The intention of the study is to inform policy makers and development practitioners on which geographic regions should be prioritized, based on necessity, for implementing climate change adaptation measures for femal
    Climate Smart Farming

    Climate Smart Farming

    ClimateSmart Agriculture is an approach that involves different elements embedded on-farm and beyond the farm and incorporates technologies, policies, institutions and investment. http://www.fao.org/3/a-i7926e.pdf?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social%20media&utm_campaign=faoclimate CIAT Flickr #climatesmartagriculture #climatechange
    My generation is radically remaking climate activism. Will it be enough?

    My generation is radically remaking climate activism. Will it be enough?

    My generation, the millennials, will never know a time when climate change wasn’t a grave threat. Back in 1988, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere crossed the 350 parts per million level when I was still watching Sesame Street and digging up worms in the backyard. Scientists consider that mark the maximum threshold compatible with a stable climate and suitable for human life on Earth. That same year, NASA researcher James Hansen told the U.S. Senate he was 99 percent confident
