Conflict Makes Nations Vulnerable to Climate Impacts
2015-11-22 16:01:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Syria, Libya and Yemen are among the countries whose ability to withstand climate change shocks and stresses has deteriorated most in the past five years, suggesting conflict makes people more vulnerable to climate impacts, researchers said. The University of Notre Dame Global Adaptation Index (ND-GAIN) uses 46 indicators to measure climate change risks to 180 countries and how ready they are to accept investment that could help them cope with more extreme weather and rising seas. The main...

Climate Central: Efforts to foster forests and slow deforestation, which is one of the leading causes of global warming, are largely being glossed over by most nations as they prepare for a historic round of climate negotiations. It remains unclear whether any agreement struck during the upcoming U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change session, which begins in Paris at the end of this month, will explicitly mention forestry. But forestry and farming are "implicitly' going to play roles in a climate pact "no...

Agence France-Presse: A coalition of nations most at risk from climate change appealed Wednesday for a crucial UN summit to enshrine a much tougher target on global warming, warning that more than one billion lives were at stake. Members of the Climate Vulnerable Forum also pledged to do more themselves to contain global warming, aiming to inspire and challenge powerful countries ahead of the Paris summit starting in less than three weeks. Following a meeting in the Philippine capital of Manila, the group issued a declaration...

Thermal sensitivity of marine communities reveals most vulnerable to global warming
2015-11-11 19:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: The sensitivity of marine communities to ocean warming rather than rising ocean temperatures will have strong short-term impacts on biodiversity changes associated with global warming, according to new research. The study, involving scientists from the Universities of Southampton (UK), Stockholm (Sweden) and Tasmania (Australia), found that while some communities a set of interacting species are comprised of species that live at the edge of how much heat they can tolerate, others may have...
