Climate change

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.

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.

The ocean represents 97% of the physical habitable space on the planet and is central to sustaining all life on Earth. 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.
