  Effects of climate change on agriculture and environment in the semi-arid tropics, with Senegal as an example

  North/South Priority Research Area, University of Copenhagen, 2003

  The effects of climate change are likely to be greater in tropical and subtropical developing countries, owing to the greater importance of the primary sector in these countries in terms of contribution to GNP. Many African nations will therefore be largely affected by global climate change.This paper focuses on Senegal, detailing the effects and possible outcomes of climate change.

  Feeling the heat: climate change and biodiversity loss

  Nature [journal], 2004

  Many plant and animal species are unlikely to survive climate change. Using projections of species' distributions for future climate scenarios, the report assesses extinction risks for sample regions that cover some 20 per cent of the Earth's terrestrial surface.

  Buying time: a user’s manual for building resistance and resilience to climate change in natural systems

  WWF-World Wide Fund For Nature, 2003

  This manual is intended for natural resource managers who wish to plan for the potential and current impacts of climate change. It looks at impacts and mitigation measures (other than reducing emissions) by biome. The manual outlines practical ideas of how to begin increasing the resiliency of ecosystems and plan our protected areas in response to the threat of climate change.

  The economics of worldwide coral reef degradation

  International Coral Reef Action Network, 2003

  Estimates in this report state that coral reefs provide each year nearly US$ 30 billion in net benefits in goods and services to world economies, including, tourism, fisheries and coastal protection. Yet, according to this report, coral reefs are under heavy pressure. Already, 27% is permanently lost and with current trends, a further 30% is at risk of being lost in the coming thirty years.
