    Temporary crediting of carbon storage is
    a proposed instrument that allows entities with emissions
    reductions obligations to defer some obligations for a fixed
    period of time. This instrument provides a means of
    guaranteeing the environmental integrity of a carbon
    sequestration project. But because the user of the temporary
    credit takes on the liability of renewing it, or replacing
    it with a permanent credit, the temporary credit must sell

    Cities and the people who live in them

    greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, more than 80 percent
    of the overall annual global costs of adaptation to climate
    change are estimated to be borne by urban areas. This issues
    brief looks at potential financing opportunities and costs
    of mitigation and adaptation in the urban context.

    Interest in farmland is rising. And,
    given commodity price volatility, growing human and
    environmental pressures, and worries about food security,
    this interest will increase, especially in the developing
    world. One of the highest development priorities in the
    world must be to improve smallholder agricultural
    productivity, especially in Africa. Smallholder productivity
    is essential for reducing poverty and hunger, and more and

    Today, 370 million people live in cities
    in earthquake prone areas and 310 million in cities with
    high probability of tropical cyclones. By 2050, these
    numbers are likely to more than double. Mortality risk
    therefore is highly concentrated in many of the world s
    cities and economic risk even more so. This paper discusses
    what sets hazard risk in urban areas apart, provides
    estimates of valuation of hazard risk, and discusses
