Climate change is increasingly being recognised as a global crisis, but responses to it have so far been overly focused on scientific and economic solutions. How then do we move towards morepeople-centred, gender-aware climate change policies and processes? How do we respond to the different needs and concerns of women and men, and also challenge the gender inequalities that mean women are more likely to lose out than men in the face of climate change? This In Brief sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change.

Climate change is increasingly being recognised as a global crisis, but responses to it have so far been overly focused on scientific and economic solutions. How then do we move towards more people-centred, gender-aware climate change policies and processes? How do we both respond to the different needs and concerns of women and men and challenge the gender inequalities that mean women are more likely to lose out than men in the face of climate change? This report sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change.

Predicting Land Use Changes in Philadelphia Following Green Infrastructure Policies

Peer-reviewed publication
Janeiro, 2019
Estados Unidos

Urbanization is a rapid global trend, leading to consequences such as urban heat islands and local flooding. Imminent climate change is predicted to intensify these consequences, forcing cities to rethink common infrastructure practices. One popular method of adaptation is green infrastructure implementation, which has been found to reduce local temperatures and alleviate excess runoff when installed effectively. As cities continue to change and adapt, land use/landcover modeling becomes an important tool for city officials in planning future land usage.

Potential, realised, future distribution and environmental suitability for pterocarpus angolensis DC in southern Africa.

Policy Papers & Briefs
Dezembro, 2014

The deciduous tree species Pterocarpus angolensis occurs in the dry woodlands of southern Africa and grows under a broad range of environmental conditions. It is threatened by overharvesting due to its valuable timber (Blood wood, Kiaat) and by land use changes. Information on the most suitable environmental conditions for the species is often old and anecdotal, while available data on its occurrence refer to range extent and not to distribution.

Fire-induced deforestation in drought-prone Mediterranean forests : drivers and unknowns from leaves to communities

Journal Articles & Books
Maio, 2018

Over the past 15 years, 3 million hectares of forests have been converted into shrublands or grasslands in the Mediterranean countries of the European Union. Fire and drought are the main drivers underlying this deforestation. Here we present a conceptual framework for the process of fire-induced deforestation based on the interactive effects of fire and drought across three hierarchical scales: resistance in individuals, resilience in populations, and transitions to a new state.

COMPLEJAS CONJUNCIONES: CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO Y REPRIMARIZACIÓN DE LAS ECONOMÍAS
Karen Mercado Andia *
Hace pocos días, como salidas de algún filme, rondaban imágenes de Chicago con temperaturas extremas de bajo cero, recordándonos, pero esta vez de manera rotunda, los comentarios cotidianos de los cambios en el clima, entre ellos: el calor esta insoportable o este frío no lo habíamos sentido nunca, las lluvias se han retrasado y no podemos empezar la sembrar, la sequía es cada vez más larga… comentarios que estación tras estación se hacen más recurrentes.

TERRITORIOS ALTO ANDINOS PASTORILES: POLÍTICAS, REDES Y ESTRATEGIAS AL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO.
 
M. Sc. Carla Virginia Rodas Arano [*]
 
Las comunidades pastoriles de los Andes tienen una peculiaridad relacionada a su historia: comprenden un territorio construido a partir de una continua movilidad espacial. Este modo de construir territorio va enlazado a la relación de las comunidades con los camélidos y sus movimientos.
