  • If developing a specific infrastructure assessment , it may be sufficient to use only a multi-hazard approach. (umaine.edu)
  • Vulnerability analyses represent a key point in international risk management programs for protecting critical infrastructure, especially in the context of climate change. (iwaponline.com)
Adapting1
  • There are many effective, highly complex and simple solutions to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change, and they are available now. (arnika.org)
Carbon dioxide4
  • This energy mix makes the Hoosier State the eighth-largest emitter of climate-changing gases, at 183 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emitted per year 3 . (purdue.edu)
  • Adopting a carbon tax or renewable energy investment tax credits would accelerate Indiana's energy transition, with an earlier shift to renewable sources (specifically wind energy) and a reduction in overall carbon dioxide emissions compared with no policy changes. (purdue.edu)
  • New climate research shows how the U.S. would experience warmer temperatures in the coming century as concentrations of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere. (nasa.gov)
  • Negative emission technologies, or large scale carbon dioxide removal, are by many assessments, policy makers, industries and companies, seen as key to slow or halt climate change. (lu.se)
Governance3
  • It highlights the key concepts in supporting integration of sustainability practices in urban climate governance, the role of urban planning, energy efficiency and energy sufficiency and the influence of urban planning for e.g. urban sprawls and liveability. (lu.se)
  • Here we explain the different levels and modes of urban climate governance and highlight the interactions between urban planning and key services such as urban sprawls and liveability. (lu.se)
  • In this final week we explore the fundamental concepts of energy efficiency and energy sufficiency, as well as their role in climate governance. (lu.se)
Environmental assessment process1
  • The Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change (ministry) has developed codes of practice (codes) to provide guidance on key aspects of the environmental assessment process. (ontario.ca)
Practitioners2
  • I recommend it to students, researchers and practitioners working on climate change issues. (routledge.com)
  • Incorporating climate change considerations in environmental assessment : general guidance for practitioners / prepared by The federal-provincial-territorial committee on climate change and environmental assessment. (gc.ca)
Considerations1
  • Although there will be opportunities for large-scale evaluation of community actions, it is important to integrate climate change considerations into individual projects and plans as they are developed. (umaine.edu)
Assess2
  • In May 2008, the World Health Assembly requested the Director-General of WHO to continue close cooperation with Member States, appropriate United Nations agencies and other partners in order to develop capacity to assess the risks of climate change to human health. (who.int)
  • We employed paired t-tests and simple linear regression to assess change over a 1-year period. (cdc.gov)
Research4
  • In this research, we developed a stakeholder-based assessment of barriers to the adoption of climate adaptation options for irrigation in the Guadiana basin, one of Spain's most climate-vulnerable basins. (springer.com)
  • This merger formed a new powerhouse for research into food, land use, and climate change. (hutton.ac.uk)
  • Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency's Research and Development Program. (cakex.org)
  • Background: There is little longitudinal research on whether changes to Total Worker Health(R) (TWH) policies and programs are associated with changes in health climate and safety climate. (cdc.gov)
Risks of climate change1
  • In countries such as Georgia, the risks of climate change for the agricultural sector are a particularly immediate and important problem because the majority of the rural population depends either directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. (worldbank.org)
Prepare for climate change1
Vulnerable to climate change1
  • Key outputs are maps showing the metric results and the range of relative vulnerability across the country, giving a visual representation of the areas vulnerable to climate change. (data.gov.uk)
Greenhouse gas emiss1
Inform4
  • The Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, Minister of Health, and the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions and Associate Minister Health, today announced the release of Health of Canadians in a Changing Climate: Advancing our Knowledge for Action which will help inform policy development focused on protecting Canadians from the effects of climate change. (canada.ca)
  • I also want to thank all of the experts who contributed to this new source of knowledge which will help inform our government's action on climate change adaptation. (canada.ca)
  • To translate climate change science to inform states, local health departments and communities. (cdc.gov)
  • Part 2 moves from barriers to solutions by exploring how psychological capacities and functions can inform behavioral change and climate action. (lu.se)
Implementation1
  • The Assessment, Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation section provides information on several key elements for each of these actions, including decision support information, tools, and guiding questions. (umaine.edu)
Affects2
  • Climate change affects more than our comfort and convenience. (cdc.gov)
  • But climate changes also affects other environmental factors that can cause health problems. (cdc.gov)
Scientists4
  • The Indian Network on Climate Change Assessment (INCCA) is a proposed network of scientists in India to be set up to publish peer-reviewed findings on climate change in India. (wikipedia.org)
  • Scientists are reporting unprecedented changes observed that should otherwise occur over hundreds or thousands of years. (iadc.org)
  • The scientists published their study in the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate . (globalwarmingisreal.com)
  • Scientists and weather experts measure and evaluate changes in s climate factors that can harm health. (cdc.gov)
Content1
  • Within one year after a major change or completion of the course, at least two additional examination sessions will be offered on the same course content. (lu.se)
