Climate change is likely to worsen the public health threat of diarrheal disease in Botswana
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013Diarrheal disease is an important health challenge, accounting for the majority of childhood deaths globally. Climate change is expected to increase the global burden of diarrheal disease but little is known regarding climate drivers, particularly in Africa.DocumentImpacts of climatic hazards on the small wetland ecosystems (ponds): evidence from some selected areas of coastal Bangladesh
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2013Most climate related hazards in Bangladesh are linked to water. The poor communities living in remote villages along Bangladesh’s coastal zone are most vulnerable to climate change impacts and depend on small isolated wetlands (ponds) for their daily water requirements.DocumentClimate change and water resources in the tropical Andes
Sustainable Development Department, Inter-American Development Bank, 2013Produced by the Inter-American Development Bank, this paper focuses on the effects of climate change on water resources in the tropical Andes. It begins by looking at recent trends in temperature and precipitation and the various attempts to extrapolate into the future, based on different Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) scenarios.DocumentWater security & the global water agenda: a UN-Water analytical brief
UN-Water, 2013This analytical brief serves as a starting point for dialogue on water security in the United Nations system. Through this brief, UN-Water aims to capture the constantly evolving dimensions of water-related issues, offering a holistic outlook on challenges under the umbrella of water security.DocumentImpacts of environmental degradation and climate change on electricity generation in Malawi
International Energy and Environment Foundation, 2013This paper explores the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change on electricity generation in Malawi. Hydropower provides almost all of the country's electricity; a reliance on freshwater supply makes it a highly vulnerable energy source to climate change and environmental degradation.DocumentManaging water as China warms: new insights from regional models
Adapting to Climate Change in China, 2012Climate change adds pressure on China's water resources, which are already under intense stress. Therefore, the water sector is a top priority in China’s national adaptation programme.DocumentSustainable wetland management in the face of climate risks in Niger: the case of La Mare de Tabalak
United Nations Development Programme, 2013The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) recently implemented climate risk management studies in seven countries.DocumentImpact of climate and land use changes on water and food security in Jordan: implications for transcending 'the tragedy of the commons'
2013Jordan is dominated by arid climate with limited arable land and water resources. This study focuses on crop production and water resources under trends of anticipated climate change and population growth to analyse how these affect water and food security in the country. It finds that recession of irrigated areas led to lesser food production and food security.DocumentClimate risk management for water and agriculture in the Dominican Republic: focus on the Yaque Del Sur basin
2013The Yaque del Sur watershed in the Dominican Republic is already under severe water stress. The population of the area is much poorer than the national average and livelihoods are dependent on cash crops and subsistence agriculture. Cyclones, storms, floods and droughts regularly damage crops and infrastructure in the watershed.DocumentPotential impact of climate change on area affected by waterlogging and saline groundwater and ecohydrology management in northeast Thailand
Thai Society of Higher Education Institutes on the Environment, 2013This study applies a modelling approach to predict the potential impact of climate change on waterlogging and salinity distribution with ecohydrology as an option for land management under the projected climate conditions in Huai Khamriam sub-watershed in the northeastern region of Thailand.Pages
