Опубликована: Март 8, 2024

The escalating impacts of climate change on the movement and immobility people, coupled with false but influential narratives mobility, highlight an urgent need for nuanced synthetic research around mobility. Synthesis evidence gaps across Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report a to clarify understanding what conditions make human mobility effective adaptation option its outcomes, including simultaneous losses, damages, benefits. Priorities include integration development planning; involuntary vulnerability; gender; data cities; risk from responses maladaptation; public risk; transboundary, compound, cascading risks; nature-based approaches; planned retreat, relocation, heritage. Cutting these priorities, modalities better position as type process, praxis. Policies practices reflect diverse needs, experiences emphasizing capability, choice, freedom movement.

Moisture as a Driver of Long-Term Threats to Timber Heritage—Part I: Changing Heritage Climatology

Heritage, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 5(3), С. 1929 - 1946

Опубликована: Июль 29, 2022

Timber is widely used in the construction of buildings on a global scale, but it sensitive to degradation. Moisture notably poses risk timber decay, and this likely change significantly during 21st century if high emission scenario occurs. Global HadGEM3 model output was map projected changes relative humidity range, seasonality humidity, time wetness, wind-driven rain, salt transitions potential for fungal attack (Scheffer Index). In Congo Basin, Great Plains (USA) Scandinavia, ranges are increase along with seasonal change. many parts tropics, wetness decrease by end century. Increases days rain western Russia, eastern Europe, Alaska, Canada Southern Brazil Paraguay. Drylands have historically had low risk, increase. future, broad extension Himalayas into central China seems likely, driven as much temperature rainfall. The picture presented suggests slightly less humid heritage climate, which will redistribute risks heritage. Mapping pressures decay could help policymakers practitioners identify geographically disparate regions that face similar pressures.

Vulnerability of World Cultural Heritage Sites in developing Asian countries

Опубликована: Март 4, 2025

Abstract While World Cultural Heritage Sites in developing countries are fewer number, they over-represented the List of Danger, and few scientific studies conducted about them. This study investigates factors that threaten selected Asian countries, intensity these threats, management capacity to respond Linked data from UNESCO Periodic Report (Cycle II), Site database, Köppen–Geiger climate classification is analysed using logit ordered models. The results show perceived likelihood a major threat highest for (i) sudden ecological or geological events (d y /d x = 0.18, p < 0.01), (ii) change severe weather 0.1, 0.05), (iii) local conditions affecting physical fabric (iv) social–cultural use heritage 0.10, while high illegal human activities (dy/d 0.27, 0.01) invasive/alien hyper-abundant species 0.21, 0.01). In addition, sites Philippines Afghanistan most likely report threats as major, but least compared other countries. Further, this region do not have correspondingly (or even adequate) identified major. study, therefore, concludes studied highly vulnerable primarily natural rather than socio-economic human-induced causes. contributes novel insights into risk vulnerability

ICT-Enabled Climate Change Education and Adaptation in Africa

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2025

Abstract Climate change is a global issue that both inevitable and urgent, Africa particularly vulnerable to its impact. This chapter examines how ICT can be used for climate education adaptation in Africa. Despite the importance of ICT, there limited information available literature about it presently will Africa’s efforts adapt change. The highlights crucial addressing significant challenges posed by Africa, employed facilitate dissemination knowledge required at community level. accomplished raising awareness, providing access critical information, promoting learning sharing experiences.

Moisture as a Driver of Long-Term Threats to Timber Heritage—Part II: Risks Imposed on Structures at Local Sites

Heritage, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 5(4), С. 2966 - 2986

Опубликована: Окт. 5, 2022

Timber heritage sites are vulnerable to damage from moisture. Simple meteorological descriptions of climate need be tuned capture drivers that threaten heritage, including dimensional change, insect attack and mould growth. Global models often provide projections through the end 21st century but translated a local level reveal processes deterioration at specific sites. Translation can challenging requires use information range sources. This translation is explored over facing different pressures, fungal risk Harmondsworth Great Barn, England; changes in humidity range, salt algal growth rural timber buildings Midwestern states, USA; wind-driven rain impacts on board houses Freetown, Sierra Leone; rainfall among tropical rainforests Amazon, Congo Basin Southeast Asia. Evidence-based narratives tool incorporate multiplicity enrich interpretation model output. These could build trust aid decision-making based future projections, which inherently uncertain.

Climate Resilient Development Pathways in Global Drylands

Anthropocene Science, Год журнала: 2022, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Июль 20, 2022

Abstract The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Working Group II Report Adaptation, Impacts and Vulnerability identifies the urgent need to embark upon Resilient Development Pathways. acknowledges that adaptation needs be undertaken together with mitigation development, in joined-up, inclusive, just equitable ways, across multiple arenas of engagement. In highly vulnerable systems complex development contexts, such as drylands, where globally, warming is already exceeding humid areas, action vital, window opportunity for rapidly closing. This paper considers challenges opportunities charting Pathways world’s drylands. It highlights importance stakeholder engagement partnership building harness diverse knowledge sources, situating equity justice concerns at core decision making actions land restoration. notes while technological solutions offer potential advance Development, they developed an inclusive manner used ways do not undermine Indigenous local or exacerbate inequalities. Many go beyond technology include contextual differences understanding, environment, institutions access finance. Adequate assessment trade-offs drylands remains vital framing different groups. concludes by identifying major research gaps considering upscaling, responsibilities governance, magnitude investment necessary, appropriate monitoring, evaluation learning.
