The document discusses the need for contingency planning in the building sector to prepare for rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that may be required in response to major climate change-related disasters. It suggests developing a variety of contingency plans now by governments and organizations to reduce emissions by 75% over 5 years to have options ready for implementation. Example proposals included introducing carbon taxes, banning new coal plants, retrofitting buildings for energy efficiency, and establishing job training programs to support upgrades. Having contingency plans prepared could lead to more rational responses compared to unprepared reaction in a crisis situation.

Designing Climate Action - Taking Action
The world is poised to take action on climate change, and designers have a huge role to play in fostering this momentum. The Designing Climate Action class prepares for a public event on September 30th, 2015 as part of New York Climate Week 2015 to seed endeavors and create coalitions of activists, designers, scientists, and entrepreneurs designing for a positive climate future.
Lecture 11 mitigation and adaptation
This lecture discusses mitigation and adaptation strategies for climate change. It defines mitigation as efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance sinks, while adaptation refers to adjusting to the unavoidable impacts of climate change. The lecture provides examples of both mitigation efforts, such as improving energy efficiency and developing renewable energy, and adaptation strategies, such as building sea walls and shifting to more drought-resistant crops. It emphasizes that adaptation and mitigation are complementary approaches needed to address climate change.
Climate change implications for investors and financial institutions
The document summarizes key findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report regarding the implications of climate change for investors and financial institutions. It finds that climate change poses both risks and opportunities for financial sectors. Risks include physical impacts of climate change damaging assets, and impacts of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions decreasing the value of some carbon-intensive assets. However, efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change will also provide investment opportunities in areas like renewable energy and climate-resilient infrastructure. The decisions financial institutions make regarding capital allocation will significantly influence society's response to climate change over the coming decades.

This document summarizes a study on policy options for integrating climate change adaptation into hydropower development in Kenya. It discusses how climate change is impacting precipitation and temperature patterns, which affects water resources and hydropower generation. While hydropower can support climate change mitigation, less emphasis has been placed on adaptation. The study aims to evaluate existing climate change policies in Kenya to identify options to better integrate adaptation into hydropower projects. There are policies that could support this, but rules need to be developed to ensure appropriate adaptation actions are implemented on the ground.

This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report regarding impacts, adaptation and vulnerability to climate change. It finds that climate change is already causing widespread impacts on natural and human systems across all continents. While adaptation is already occurring, continued high emissions will increase risks. Vulnerability and exposure to climate change impacts differ around the world due to non-climatic factors and inequality. Many global risks are concentrated in urban areas, where over half the world's population now lives. Effective climate change adaptation requires integrated decision-making across climate adaptation, mitigation, disaster risk reduction and urban development agendas. Local governments have a key role to play in planning and implementing climate adaptation but need appropriate mandates and support.

Lecture 10 climate change projections, with particular reference to hong kong
Climate models are mathematical representations of the Earth's climate system based on physical principles. They are our primary tool for projecting future climate changes. Projections using climate models under different emission scenarios suggest that Hong Kong will experience increasing temperatures, more extreme heat days, heavier rainfall and rain events, rising sea levels, and increased risk of storm surge by the late 21st century. However, there are uncertainties in projections due to limitations in modeling the full climate system and uncertainties over future human activities and emissions.

Designing buildings to meet climate change challenges
Growing and potential impacts of climate change, such as flooding in coastal areas, change in weather patterns, and melting of the permafrost have created new challenges for the engineering and construction industry. These challenges involve adaptation in the design and construction of projects to address these impacts, as well as developing ways to reduce and controlling greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to mitigate climate change.
Engineering has the lead responsibility for determining the technical feasibility and cost parameters to overcome these challenges. Engineering and construction projects are implemented with the help of a set of standard documents that lay out the work process of the projects. They include standard design detail drawings, standard design criteria, standard specifications, design guides and work process flow diagrams. Incorporating in these standard documents materials and processes which assist project engineers to identify and assess climate change related impacts can be a major step in effectively preparing to meet the challenges of climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Sustainable Cities: Urban Impacts of Climate Change
The document discusses the causes and impacts of climate change, as well as strategies for adaptation and mitigation. It notes that increased greenhouse gas emissions since the industrial revolution are changing the composition of the atmosphere and global climate. The impacts of climate change include threats to water resources, energy, infrastructure, food supply, public health, and coastal areas from issues like rising seas and increased extreme weather events. Cities contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions but can also play a key role in addressing climate change through resilient planning approaches that incorporate both mitigation and adaptation measures.

This is the un-condensed version of a Nature commentary on the need to move past the widely-used 2-degree (C) threshold for global warming danger -- written by David Victor and Charles Kennel of the University of California, San Diego. For more, read the related Dot Earth post at http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.comBiosphere & climate by Muhammad Fahad Ansari 12IEEM14
The document discusses the atmosphere and climate. It notes that the atmosphere covers the entire planet and influences weather and climate everywhere. It also discusses how human activities like burning fossil fuels have increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing the planet to warm. This warming will likely cause sea level rise, more extreme weather, and other impacts that threaten human societies and natural ecosystems. International cooperation will be needed to address climate change.

Climate change represents a serious threat, but actions can be taken to address it. Governments are implementing policies like the Kyoto Protocol and Climate Change Act to reduce emissions. Planning already incorporates sustainable development, but more drastic steps are needed. The Planning and Climate Change Supplement sets out how planning should reduce emissions, adapt to climate change impacts, and take climate change into account at all stages of planning from regional strategies to development decisions.
Climate Change and Land
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land. It finds that land provides the basis for livelihoods and well-being but is already under growing human pressure. Climate change adds additional stress by exacerbating desertification and land degradation. However, coordinated action to tackle climate change through sustainable land management and food production can improve land conditions, food security, and reduce emissions. There are limits to the ability of land to mitigate climate change due to saturation of carbon sinks and vulnerability to disturbance.

1. Climate change is a complex, long-term problem involving interactions between climatic, environmental, economic, political, social and technological processes. There is still uncertainty around fully understanding climate change.
2. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, known as mitigation, involves transitioning away from fossil fuels to low-carbon energy sources. Many technologies exist now but are not fully utilized, and all economic sectors can pursue energy efficiency.
3. Equity issues around distribution of resources between countries, regions, and generations must be considered in climate policies and solutions. Developing countries have no emissions targets but are expected to pursue low-emissions development paths.
contribution of cities on Climate change ppt
Cities contribute significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. While some sources claim that cities are responsible for 75-80% of emissions, this is an overstatement, as accurate allocation of emissions is complex. Emissions should take into account where energy is produced versus consumed. Overall, urbanization and economic growth are increasing emissions, though per capita emissions vary greatly between wealthy and developing cities. Accurately measuring city emissions requires defining system boundaries and accounting for all sources. Addressing climate change at the city level is important as cities are centers of economic activity and policy can be enacted more quickly than at national levels.
Climate Change Science and the IPCC
This document discusses climate change and its causes, impacts, and potential solutions. It notes that climate change is affecting the entire world due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Both near-term changes by 2050 and long-term changes beyond 2050 depend on emissions levels in the coming decades. There are options to act to reduce risks from climate change impacts.

Climate Change and Adaptation: Where do we go from here?
This document summarizes key points about climate change adaptation from a paper by Dr. Sarah Ahmed. It discusses the vulnerability of developing countries to climate change impacts, the need to enhance adaptive capacity. Adaptation measures include policy, technology, monitoring, and risk sharing. Estimates suggest adaptation will cost $86-100 billion annually by 2015. Accurate cost information is essential for policymaking but difficult to obtain. The document then outlines India's National Action Plan on Climate Change and its focus on both mitigation and adaptation through various missions and sectors. Adaptation costs in India are estimated to be 0.88-2.17% of GDP from 2004-2007.
Introduction to Climate Science
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC AR5 Synthesis Report. It finds that human activity, including emissions from energy production, agriculture and other sources, is extremely likely the dominant cause of global warming since the mid-20th century. Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will lead to further warming and changes in the climate system such as sea level rise and loss of Arctic sea ice. Limiting global temperature increase to 2°C will require substantial reductions in emissions by 2050 through policy measures and technological changes. Delaying mitigation actions will make limiting warming to 2°C significantly more difficult.

IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5oC : Key Findings
This document summarizes a presentation given by IPCC officials on the IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C. It provides an overview of the IPCC and describes the key findings of the report, including that limiting warming to 1.5°C would require global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide to fall by about 45% from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching 'net zero' around 2050. Keeping warming to no more than 1.5°C would prevent the most severe impacts of climate change.

The document discusses strategies for catalyzing finance for climate resilient infrastructure. It outlines three steps: 1) Conducting systemic resilience assessments to prioritize infrastructure projects; 2) Identifying an optimal mix of green and grey infrastructure assets by integrating climate risks; 3) Increasing access to long-term affordable finance through de-risking and other policies. It provides two project examples funded by the Green Climate Fund that aim to unlock private finance for climate solutions and deliver certified climate and sustainability impacts at large scales across multiple countries.
Adapting Portfolios to Climate Change
- Climate change presents risks and opportunities to investors through physical, technological, regulatory and social changes. Physical risks include more frequent extreme weather events. Technological risks include disruption from renewable energy and electric vehicles. Regulatory risks include tighter emissions standards. Social risks include changing consumer preferences.
- Meeting emissions reduction targets will require large investments in green infrastructure but current infrastructure spending is insufficient. Removing fossil fuel subsidies could save governments money while incentivizing green technologies.
- All investors should consider how to manage climate-related risks, exploit opportunities, and potentially have a positive impact through climate-aware investing strategies.

EA - Business Case for Adaption - May 15 - v12 Low res FINAL
This document provides a business case for councils to manage impacts from severe weather and climate change. It outlines key drivers and benefits, including:
- Councils face direct costs from weather events and climate impacts that will rise over time. Actions can avoid these costs.
- Many councils are already taking action that provides benefits across services and supports economic growth and vulnerable groups.
- Actions to improve resilience often have low costs but can deliver financial and wider benefits. Larger projects have funding options.
The document concludes by calling councils to understand their risks and opportunities, identify priority actions, and secure support to develop climate resilience. Case studies and tools can help with this process.
ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CLIMATE CHAGE_OWITI
1. The document discusses the role of technology and policy in climate change mitigation and adaptation. It provides examples of how innovation can help reduce emissions through technologies like renewable energy as well as help communities adapt to climate impacts through technologies like drought-resistant crops and water harvesting.
2. Barriers to climate technology innovation include a lack of incentives for private investment when environmental impacts aren't priced. The document argues for policies like carbon pricing to boost green innovation by creating demand.
3. The National Commission for Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) supports climate technology development through a Science, Technology and Innovation grant program that has funded over 1000 research and innovation projects in Kenya.
Green house effect and shortterminism:SSB 22
Short-term thinking has led governments and businesses to ignore the long-term risks of climate change, just as it did with the 2008 financial crisis. Climate change will have irreversible consequences if action is not taken now to transition away from fossil fuels and curb emissions. Both the public and private sectors need to take a long-term approach to risk management by implementing carbon pricing, investing in renewable energy and new technologies, and working together globally to enact sustainable climate policies.

Transition to low-emission development
The document discusses transitioning to low-emission development. It summarizes that international climate change negotiations aim to establish a new global agreement by 2015 to reduce emissions starting in 2020. Many countries have already developed low-emission development strategies and climate action plans. Transitioning to low-emission development will require significant emission reductions through policies like carbon pricing, clean technology development, reducing deforestation, and changing consumption behaviors. Governments are also promoting energy savings through initiatives like efficiency standards, consumer information programs, and incentives. Rapid urbanization presents both challenges and opportunities for reducing emissions through more sustainable city development.
Global Warming
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise, threatening a coastal city. As a consultant, I would:
1) Identify impacts like flooding, erosion, and infrastructure damage.
2) Recommend mitigation measures like boosting energy efficiency, greening transportation, and developing renewables to reduce greenhouse gases.
3) Recommend adaptation measures like coastal defenses, resettling vulnerable areas, and developing early warning systems to cope with rising seas.
EY - Let's Talk Sustainability Issue 4
For the global sustainability community,
the most effective catalyst of change
has long been seen as the informed
self-interest of the mainstream financial
community: if banks and investors
could be convinced of the proximity of
environmental risk or societal impacts,
then it has been assumed that capital
diverted from ‘unsustainable’ practices
would render all other interventions
unnecessary. In practice though, the
sustainability community has found
the financial sector a hard nut to crack.
Although recent years have seen a
substantial increase in the integration of
environmental, social and governance
(ESG) data forming part of investment
analysis, the continued emphasis on shortterm
results and incentives has pushed
longer-term environmental risks, such as
climate change, outside of the boundary
of risks contemplated by mainstream
analysts. That is, until recently.

REFRAMING CLIMATE JUSTICE FOR DEVELOPMENT: SIX PRINCIPLES FOR SUPPORTING INCLUSIVE AND EQUITABLE ENERGY TRANSITIONS IN LOW-EMITTING ENERGY-POOR AFRICAN COUNTRIES
By Mimi Alemayehou, Katie Auth, Murefu Barasa, Morgan Bazilian, Brad Handler, Uzo Iweala, Todd Moss, Rose Mutiso, Zainab Usman
Advancing inclusive and equitable energy transitions is one of this century’s most vital global challenges, and one in which development finance will play a crucial role. References to justice and equity are widespread in international climate policy, and are increasingly being used by development organizations to guide their own work, including support for energy transitions.
But prevailing definitions of climate justice rarely fully capture the priorities, challenges and perspectives of low-emitting energy-poor countries, the vast majority of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. When applied to development policy, this gap risks prioritizing near-term emissions reductions over broader support for economic development and energy transformation, with comparatively little climate benefit. This could severely hinder poverty alleviation, development, and climate resilience — the very opposite of justice. We need energy transitions that are truly ‘just and inclusive.’ What does this mean for development funders and financiers, and how should it drive their approach to supporting energy transitions in the lowest-income countries? TACC615 Professional Accounting Capstone.docx
This document discusses climate change and its impacts. It addresses the following key points:
1. Human activities like burning fossil fuels are the dominant driver of climate change, releasing greenhouse gases that are trapping heat and raising global temperatures.
2. Climate change is already causing dangerous impacts like droughts, fires, flooding, and sea level rise that threaten lives and livelihoods. Vulnerable communities are especially at risk.
3. Addressing climate change requires transitioning to renewable energy sources while reducing fossil fuel production and emissions. Australian companies will need to focus on adapting to and mitigating climate change risks.
The Science of Climate Change in the Caribbean: Mitigation of Climate Change
The document summarizes key points from the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report Working Group III on Mitigation of Climate Change. It finds that options exist to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by around half of 2019 levels by 2030 at a cost of less than $100 per ton of CO2 equivalent. Whole-sector transitions and lifestyle changes also have large mitigation potential. However, current financial flows remain well below levels needed by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5°C or 2°C. Just transitions and addressing equity concerns are essential to effective, socially acceptable mitigation policies. Land use changes pose profound sustainable development challenges but mitigation options in agriculture and forestry could deliver large emissions reductions if implemented respecting Indigenous and community rights
Task 6 Global Warming (a133921)
Global warming is causing sea levels to rise in a coastal city, threatening low-lying areas of the city. To address this, mitigation and adaptation measures are proposed. Mitigation involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions through sustainable development, green transportation, boosting energy efficiency, renewing renewables, phasing out fossil fuels, and managing forests. Adaptation includes expanding water storage, adjusting agriculture, protecting infrastructure, diversifying tourism, and strengthening energy systems. Together, mitigation and adaptation efforts by various groups can help address the challenges of climate change.

Challenging Instruments and Capacities to Engage in Sustainable Development
Challenging Instruments and Capacities to Engage in Sustainable DevelopmentUN Joint Office of UNDP, UNFPA and UNICEF (Environment Energy and Disaster Prevention Unit)
Anthropogenic emissions of GHG need to fall to zero by 2100 and be stabilized at 550 ppm by 2030 to prevent the global mean temperature rising from current levels to over 3oC by the end of this century. This will require collaborative action among developed, developing and emerging markets to reduce annual global emissions from 60 GtCO2e to less than 30 GtCO2e in the coming decades. In the light of these events, the most accepted way to deal with the threat of climate change posed by increased CO2 and other greenhouse gasses emissions in the atmosphere is to move over time to a Low-Carbon Economy; This essay aims to shed some light on what is really a very complicated subject. The use of different instruments and capabilities for adaptation and mitigation and how best to adapt and remain resilient to changes. Approaches that promote the use of market instruments may offer valuable ways to induce feasible climate change management at the same time that such mechanisms may avoid stifling economic activities and ensure sustainability over time.ASFA 2007 Web
This document discusses the risks and opportunities that climate change presents for super fund investments. It emphasizes that super funds should take a long-term view of carbon risk and opportunity as part of their fiduciary duty. Deep emissions cuts are needed to limit global warming, which will require a major economic transformation towards renewable energy and energy efficiency. Super funds can play a role by supporting low-carbon initiatives, engaging with companies, and advocating for effective climate policy. They must be prepared for potential surprises and not assume change will be gradual.

Global warming is defined as an increase in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere due to heat-trapping gases. The document discusses several solutions that are needed to reduce global emissions by 80% by mid-century, including boosting energy efficiency, transitioning to renewable energy and low-carbon transportation, managing forests and agriculture sustainably, phasing out fossil fuels for electricity, exploring nuclear power, developing new technologies, ensuring sustainable development, and adapting to impacts that are already occurring. Developed countries will need to assist developing countries with financial and technical support for mitigation and adaptation.
