Climate change

Increased risk of climate change makes the communities in the Rio Doce more vulnerable to events, such as flooding, landslides and coastal erosion, indicating the need for policies and investments to build institutional and  societal resilience for climate change adaptation, particularly in regard to human and ecosystem health.

Connectivity conservation is essential for managing healthy ecosystems, conserving biodiversity and adapting to climate change across all biomes and spatial scales. Well-connected ecosystems support a diversity of ecological functions such as migration, hydrology, nutrient cycling, pollination, seed dispersal, food security, climate resilience and disease resistance.

The northwest boreal region of North America is a land of extremes.

This book provides a wealth of factual material to prove that we are indeed experiencing worldwide climate change. The main focus of the book is on Switzerland. It demonstrates how climate change affects mountainous regions and glaciers, agriculture, forests, but also the tourism industry. Switzerland is getting warmer - and our everyday life is affected.

This open access book identifies and discusses biodiversity’s contribution to physical, mental and spiritual health and wellbeing. Furthermore, the book identifies the implications of this relationship for nature conservation, public health, landscape architecture and urban planning – and considers the opportunities of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation.

La predicción de los impactos del cambio climático sobre la biodiversidad es un gran desafío científico. Se han desarrollado diferentes métodos para la evaluación de la vulnerabilidad al cambio climático (EVCC) de las especies y se está produciendo una gran y creciente cantarget_idad de literatura científica al respecto.

Former Vice President Al Gore presents an eye-opening and compelling view of the future of our planet—and our civilization—in this must-see documentary.

L’océan représente 97% de l’espace physique habitable de la planète et joue un rôle central dans le maintien de la vie sur Terre. Depuis les années 2000 que des efforts considérables et spécifiques ont été déployés pour mieux faire connaître et comprendre les conséquences des émissions de gaz à effet de serre sur les océans. Le dioxyde de carbone émis par les activités humaines conduit les océans vers des conditions plus acides, phénomène connu sous le nom d’acidification des océans.
