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.
El océano representa el 97% del espacio físico habitable del planeta y es fundamental para mantener la vida en la Tierra. Solo desde el año 2000 se han realizado esfuerzos importantes y dedicados a aumentar la sensibilización y comprensión de las consecuencias de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en los océanos. Actualmente sabemos que el dióxido de carbono que emiten las actividades humanas está dando lugar a condiciones de mayor acidez en el océano.

Since 2000 significant and dedicated effort has been directed at raising awareness and understanding of the consequences of greenhouse gas emissions on the ocean. Carbon dioxide emitted by human activities is driving the ocean towards more acidic conditions.

El nuevo reto de la Adaptación basada en Ecosistemas (AbE) impone la necesidad, no solo de definir las medidas de adaptación necesarias para poder alcanzarlo, sino también los componentes sólidos de gobernanza para hacerlo efectivo. Una gobernanza para la AbE que debe ser flexible, participativa, multarget_idimensional e inclusiva de los enfoques basados en ecosistemas (mantenimiento de la estructura y función de los ecosistemas para garantizar el bienestar humano).
Timely action to prevent, reduce and reverse land degradation can improve food and water security, contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation, and avoid conflicts and migration. In this regard, the initiative for land degradation neutrality promoted by the UNCCD should be highlighted.
This study is aimed at the assessment of current policies as well as regulatory and legal frameworks on renewable energy and energy efficiency, water management, the food security nexus and sustainable development in the countries of Jordan, Lebanon and Tunisia. It also closely considers climate change and the issue of gender.
The objective of this assignment is to prepare an investment strategy for coffee and cash crop production in the Central Highlands of Viet Nam which complies with the nexus principles of maximizing economic benefits across the Srepok and Sesan river basins.
It is generally accepted that human emissions of greenhouse gases upset the thermal balance of earth-atmosphere system and ultimately lead to global climate changes. The extent of the changes will depend on future emissions of greenhouse gases and will vary between the Earth's different regions. But a central estimate for the Nordic region is that, by 2100, the temperature will have increased by about 3 degrees C, average rainfall will be 10% higher and the sea level may have raised 40cm.
