Climate change
- Strengthen glacial research and modeling of glaciers to avoid floods and droughts
- B. P. Kaltenborn (ed); C. Nellemann (ed); I. I. Vistnes (ed) / Arendal Maps & Graphics Library, UNEP/GRID, 2010
- Climate change is causing significant mass loss of glaciers in high mountains worldwide. This report calls for accelerating research, monitoring and modeling of glaciers, snow and their role in water supplies. Although gl...
- Understanding the scale of disaster-induced displacement is essential for informing consistent policy
- M. Yonetani / Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, 2011
- Forced displacement due to natural hazard-induced disasters is a large-scale, global phenomenon. This study focuses on quantifying peak levels of displacement, including those due to preventative actions taken before and after the ons...
- Hydropower development in Guatemala ignored civil society and generated conflict
- C. Hirsch; M. Utreras / Association for International Water and Forest Studies, Norway, 2010
- The debate about hydropower has recently been revitalised in the context of climate change and the large unmet demand for energy in many countries. This study is a contribution to the debate about hydropower development, indigenous ri...
- The E1 scenario to limit climate change may provide gains for rich countries but losses for poor nations
- T. Wei; A. Aaheim / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2010
- The E1 scenario is one which represents an achievement of the European Union's target to limit climate change in global mean temperature by +2 °C in 2100. This report summarises impacts to the global economies of this scenario. ...
- African cities must restore ecosystems, reduce water consumption and recycle waste water
- C. Mafuta (ed); R.K. Formo (ed); C. Nellemann (ed) / Arendal Maps & Graphics Library, UNEP/GRID, 2011
- In light of its rapid urban growth, Africa is likely to experience some of the most severe impacts of climate change – particularly when it comes to water and food security, which places enormous pressure on growing urban p...
- Capacity building is needed to provide effective global climate services
- M. Abu Zeid; J. Egeland; J. Chissano / World Meteorological Organization, 2011
- Climate is a critical factor in the lives and livelihoods of all people, especially those in developing countries. This report proposes how a global system for the provision of climate services can be set up over the next few years th...
- Evaluation of support from Norway's International Climate and Forest Initiative in Indonesia
- C. Mackenzie; M. Clarke; A. Suntana / Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation - NORAD, 2011
- The rationale behind Norway’s support for reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) is to make a substantial contribution in the struggle against global warming. This report presents the findings of an ...
- Norwegian support to reduce emissions in Democratic Congo should re-visit priorities to maximise effectiveness
- H. Hoefsloot; R.E. Atyi / Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation - NORAD, 2011
- Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a high forest cover – low deforestation rate country emerging from a long period of political and civil instability that eroded public and social institutions. The purpose of this evalua...
- Is there a link between drought and conflict in the African Horn?
- A.K. Temesgen / Institute for Applied International Studies, Norway, 2010
- The contextual environment African pastoralists live in is characterised by population growth, environmental degradation, and cultural and political factors that pave the way for frequent outbreaks of conflict. This paper attempts to ...
- Does climate change drive conflict over land use in Mali?
- T.A. Benjaminsen; K. Alinonb; H. Buhaug / International Peace Research Institute, Oslo, 2010
- This study investigates the alleged relationship between climate change and conflicts, using the Inland Delta of the Niger River in Mali as a case study, where this region is an African hotspot area in terms of land use conflicts. ...
