The document discusses how the oceans are warming due to climate change, which is causing deoxygenation and changes to nutrient ratios that shape marine ecosystems. These changes impact fish stocks, fisheries revenue, and the nutrition and well-being of communities that depend on seafood. Pacific small island developing states are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of climate change for their economies and reefs are at high risk in the western Pacific region. The outline presented at the end indicates the document will provide an executive summary and discuss changing oceans and biodiversity, ecosystem services and human well-being, solutions and governance, and synthesize the information.

- According to climate models and emission scenarios, oceans will continue warming and acidifying as CO2 levels rise. Warming is projected to displace marine species and reduce fish and invertebrate biomass and diversity at low latitudes.
- Warming of 2°C or more above pre-industrial levels will reduce the habitat range of many marine species by over 20% and up to 40% at northern high latitudes. Combined warming and oxygen loss could further reduce metabolic scope in many marine animals.
- Long-term risks of ocean warming, acidification, sea level rise and other climate impacts need to be considered to guide setting ambitious global temperature goals, such as aiming to limit warming to 1.5°
Small Island Perspective
The document discusses the impacts of climate change on oceans and cryosphere (ice) as outlined in the IPCC's Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC). It notes that sea level rise will continue beyond 2100 and could reach 1 meter by 2300 under low emissions scenarios but up to 5.4 meters under high emissions. Adaptation will be necessary to address sea level rise impacts, with low emissions giving the best chance of successful adaptation. The document emphasizes that every fraction of a degree of warming, every year of action or inaction, and every mitigation or adaptation action matters to address the threats of climate change on oceans, coasts, and low-lying islands.

Key findings of AR5 for the Carribean region
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's 5th Assessment Report regarding climate change impacts in the Caribbean region. It finds that surface temperatures have warmed 0.8 degrees Celsius since 1901 and are projected to increase up to 3 degrees by 2100 depending on emissions levels. Sea levels in the Caribbean have risen 2.7 mm per year and mean sea surface height has increased 12 cm from 1993-2014. These changes threaten coastal flooding and erosion, loss of coral reefs, and increased infectious diseases. Adaptation measures discussed include improving infrastructure, restoring forests and wetlands, and reducing disease vectors.

- Climate change is projected to negatively impact food production in Vietnam through increased risks of heat stress to rice plants, threats to coastal and deltaic rice production from sea level rise, and exacerbation of rural poverty from negative impacts on rice crops.
- Fisheries production and fishmeal exports from Vietnam are also expected to decline by 2050 due to climate change, resulting in economic losses.
- Warm water coral reefs like Vietnam's are vulnerable to loss of live coral cover from climate change and other drivers, as evidenced by impacts already occurring on the Great Barrier Reef at 0.8°C of warming.

This document summarizes key findings from the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land. It discusses growing human pressures on land from population growth and consumption. Climate change is exacerbating these pressures through increased heat waves, drought, wildfires and reduced crop yields. Agriculture, forestry and other land use account for 23% of greenhouse gas emissions. The report evaluates response options to tackle land degradation, desertification, food insecurity and emissions through sustainable land management and changes to food systems and risk management. Many response options have co-benefits but must be implemented at suitable scales with best practices to avoid negative impacts.

What is Climate Change?
This document provides an overview of climate change and the greenhouse effect. It defines climate as the long-term weather trends over centuries or millennia, whereas weather occurs over shorter time periods from days to years. The greenhouse effect is described as necessary for warming the planet, but human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the effect and causing global warming. Evidence of warming includes rising global temperatures and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels over recent decades. The impacts of climate change include changes to precipitation patterns and the hydrologic cycle, as well as increasing risks from hazards like droughts, floods, and rising sea levels. Adaptation, mitigation and building resilience are important to address these risks.

1) Agriculture is responsible for 44% of global methane emissions and 81% of nitrous oxide emissions according to estimates.
2) The natural response of land to human-induced environmental change is estimated to be -11.2 ± 2.6 GtCO2e per year, partially offsetting net anthropogenic emissions.
3) Agriculture, forestry, and other land use activities account for 23% of total net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions according to estimates, releasing 12 GtCO2e per year.
Scientists - Introduction to climate change science
This document provides an introduction to climate change science. It discusses the components of the climate system and how human activities like burning fossil fuels and changing land use are rapidly increasing greenhouse gas concentrations and warming the planet. Climate models have improved and show continued warming in coming decades. The impacts of a changing climate include changes to water cycles, more extreme weather, and crossing dangerous climate thresholds. The options to address climate change are mitigation of emissions or adaptation to impacts, otherwise suffering the consequences of unabated climate change will result.
Impacts of Climate Change
The document summarizes impacts of climate change including rising global temperatures, sea levels, and shifts in ecosystems. Continued carbon emissions are expected to lead to more warming, melting of ice sheets and glaciers, and sea level rise of several meters over centuries. This poses risks to coastal cities and islands. Certain tipping points such as thawing permafrost and collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet could have irreversible consequences if crossed. Urgent action is needed to reduce carbon emissions according to the IPCC.
Sea Level Rise and Disappearing Islands: Myth or Reality?
Sea level rise and disappearing islands: myth or reality? This document discusses sea level rise and its impacts. It examines how fast sea levels are rising through various measurements from tide gauges and satellite altimetry. Islands like Tuvalu are most at risk from even small rises in sea level as they are very low-lying and could become uninhabitable. The document reviews projections for further sea level rise and its threats to islands and coastal areas over the coming decades and centuries.
Climate Change: The Physical Science Basis
The document discusses the physical science basis of climate change. It summarizes that global warming trends are unequivocal based on multiple lines of evidence. The dominant cause is extremely likely to be human influence, including increased CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions. If emissions continue at a high level, global temperatures are projected to rise more than 1.5°C by the late 21st century compared to pre-industrial levels, with more regional warming differences and effects on weather patterns like worsening heat waves. Sea level rise will also continue due to ocean and ice sheet changes. Limiting future climate change will require substantial emissions reductions.
Sustainable development, poverty eradication, and reducing inequalities
The document summarizes key findings from an IPCC special report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C. It finds that limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C would significantly reduce extreme heat and rainfall events, biodiversity loss, water shortages, and crop yield reductions. However, even 1.5°C of warming would still negatively impact many regions, increasing poverty and childhood malnutrition. The report also discusses opportunities for mitigation through urban planning, renewable energy, and land use changes, but notes limiting warming to 1.5°C would require unprecedented societal and economic transitions.
Basics of Climate Change Science
This document summarizes a presentation on climate change science given in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August 2019. It introduces global climate change as significant long-term changes in climate parameters like temperature and weather events. A changing climate leads to more extreme weather and rapid melting of ice. Limiting climate change requires substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Graphs and maps show warming trends across global temperatures, the Northern Hemisphere, and Central Asian countries from 1901-2018. Climate change is a global challenge that affects all countries through interconnected weather systems.

Impacts of Climate Change in Coastal Aquaculture in Bangladesh
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events around an average. Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth. Climate change may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as "global warming" or "anthropogenic global warming”. Climate change has both direct and indirect impacts on fish stocks which are exploited commercially. Direct effects act on physiology and behavior and alter growth, reproductive capacity, mortality and distribution. Indirect effects alter the productivity, structure and composition of the marine ecosystems on which fish depend for food. However, even though the year-on-year rate of anthropogenic climate change may seem slow, this is very rapid compared with previous natural change and the accumulative value produces a significant difference from the "natural" state quite quickly. Climate change impacts such as more frequent and severe floods and droughts will affect the food and water security of many people.
Bangladesh is thought to be one of the most vulnerable countries of the world to climate change and sea level rise (CCSLR). IPCC estimates predict that due to the impact of climate change, sea level in Bangladesh may rise by 14 cm by 2025, 32cm by 2050 and 88 cm by 2100. There are a number of environmental issues and problems that are hindering development of Bangladesh. Salinity is a current problem, which is expected to exacerbate by climate change and sea level rise. Salinity intrusion due to reduction of freshwater flow from upstream, salinization of groundwater and fluctuation of soil salinity are major concern of Bangladesh. Cyclones and tidal surge is adding to the problem. Tidal surge brings in saline water inside the polders in the coastal area. Due to drainage congestion, the area remains waterlogged, increasing the salinity (Abedin, 2010).
Bangladesh in general is highly vulnerable to predicted climate changes that are already occurring and are expected to continue over the next century. Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable to the impact of global warming and climate change.

Climate change is one of the primary factors contributing to the loss of biodiversity worldwide. The purpose of this review paper was to give serious thought about the present and future impacts of climate change on biodiversity, even though we are not aware of its synergistic effects on biological populations. In order to fully understand the biota's reactions to these climatic
changes, we also concentrated on how these changes impact their phenology and physiology. This review article's subjects are
covered in a non-random order to make it easier for readers to understand the connections between biodiversity and climate
change. We also discussed about how 1.1°C of global warming brought about by human activity has altered the Earth's climate
in ways never seen before and negatively impacted human health. We covered how to safeguard our biota by implementing practical conservation strategies at the end of this review article in order to reduce the effects of climate change on it. We hope that one day, because research on climate change and biodiversity protection is interdisciplinary and spans many different scientific areas, we will be able to address all these concerns and preserve our biota from their terrible consequences.
Climate Change & Anthropogenic Impact On Water Resources
Human activities are clearly influencing the climate system and causing changes that are affecting water resources in several ways. According to the IPCC, over half of the increase in surface temperatures since the 1950s is due to human greenhouse gas emissions. As the climate continues to warm, precipitation patterns are projected to change in ways that will impact water availability and quality. Infrastructure like dams and reservoirs has altered water flows, and building more could help address issues like declining storage capacity but also risks impacts on environmental flows. Managing these tradeoffs between human and environmental water needs is an ongoing challenge.

Direct effects act on physiology and behavior and alter growth, reproductive capacity, mortality and distribution. Indirect effects alter the productivity, structure and composition of the marine ecosystems on which fish depend for food. However, even though the year-on-year rate of anthropogenic climate change may seem slow, this is very rapid compared with previous natural change and the accumulative value produces a significant difference from the "natural" state quite quickly. Climate change impacts such as more frequent and severe floods and droughts will affect the food and water security of many people.
Bangladesh is thought to be one of the most vulnerable countries of the world to climate change and sea level rise (CCSLR). IPCC estimates predict that due to the impact of climate change, sea level in Bangladesh may rise by 14 cm by 2025, 32cm by 2050 and 88 cm by 2100. There are a number of environmental issues and problems that are hindering development of Bangladesh. Salinity is a current problem, which is expected to exacerbate by climate change and sea level rise. Salinity intrusion due to reduction of freshwater flow from upstream, salinization of groundwater and fluctuation of soil salinity are major concern of Bangladesh. Cyclones and tidal surge is adding to the problem. Tidal surge brings in saline water inside the polders in the coastal area. Due to drainage congestion, the area remains waterlogged, increasing the salinity (Abedin, 2010).
Bangladesh in general is highly vulnerable to predicted climate changes that are already occurring and are expected to continue over the next century. Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable to the impact of global warming and climate change.

the-challenges-facing-global-biodiversity-in-response-to-climate-change.pdf
Climate change is one of the primary factors contributing to the loss of biodiversity worldwide. The purpose of this review paper was to give serious thought about the present and future impacts of climate change on biodiversity, even though we are not aware of its synergistic effects on biological populations. In order to fully understand the biota's reactions to these climatic
changes, we also concentrated on how these changes impact their phenology and physiology. This review article's subjects are
covered in a non-random order to make it easier for readers to understand the connections between biodiversity and climate
change. We also discussed about how 1.1°C of global warming brought about by human activity has altered the Earth's climate
in ways never seen before and negatively impacted human health. We covered how to safeguard our biota by implementing practical conservation strategies at the end of this review article in order to reduce the effects of climate change on it. We hope that one day, because research on climate change and biodiversity protection is interdisciplinary and spans many different scientific areas, we will be able to address all these concerns and preserve our biota from their terrible consequences.
Climate Change & Anthropogenic Impact On Water Resources
Human activities are clearly influencing the climate system and causing changes that are affecting water resources in several ways. According to the IPCC, over half of the increase in surface temperatures since the 1950s is due to human greenhouse gas emissions. As the climate continues to warm, precipitation patterns are projected to change in ways that will impact water availability and quality. Infrastructure like dams and reservoirs has altered water flows, and building more could help address issues like declining storage capacity but also risks impacts on environmental flows. Managing these tradeoffs between human and environmental water needs is an ongoing challenge.
Climate Change and Maritime Sector Essay Sample
Climate change is affecting the maritime sector in several ways. Rising sea levels and changes in erosion and sedimentation patterns are impacting ports and shipping channels. Melting polar ice caps are opening new shipping routes but also increasing risks in polar regions for inadequately prepared vessels. Climate change is also negatively impacting marine ecosystems and fish stocks, posing challenges for fisheries managers and the fishing industry. While some new opportunities may arise for the maritime sector through activities like Arctic shipping lanes and mineral exploitation, the sector will also face risks and need to make infrastructure changes to adapt.
Safe Operating Space For Humanity - HEB
The document summarizes a scientific paper that proposes a framework of "planetary boundaries" to define a "safe operating space for humanity" considering Earth's biophysical processes and systems. It identifies 9 boundaries related to climate change, biodiversity loss, land use change, freshwater use, biogeochemical flows, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, aerosol loading and chemical pollution. Each boundary represents a proposed threshold beyond which Earth System processes could be substantially and irreversibly altered at the planetary scale.

2.In the U.S., landowners have the mineral rights to all minerals that might be found under their property (e.g, oil and natural gas). In most European countries, the government, not the property owner, has the rights to any minerals found in the ground. Fracking occurs in several U.S. states, but remains unpopular in Europe. If national governments in other nations agreed to share the profits from fracking with the landowners on whose property the drilling takes place, how might that change attitudes toward the fracking process?

Wetlands and global climate change: the role of wetland
restoration in a changing world
Kevin L. Erwin
Received: 15 April 2008 / Accepted: 24 September 2008 / Published online: 7 November 2008
� Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008
Abstract Global climate change is recognized as a
threat to species survival and the health of natural
systems. Scientists worldwide are looking at the
ecological and hydrological impacts resulting from
climate change. Climate change will make future
efforts to restore and manage wetlands more com-
plex. Wetland systems are vulnerable to changes in
quantity and quality of their water supply, and it is
expected that climate change will have a pronounced
effect on wetlands through alterations in hydrological
regimes with great global variability. Wetland habitat
responses to climate change and the implications for
restoration will be realized differently on a regional
and mega-watershed level, making it important to
recognize that specific restoration and management
plans will require examination by habitat. Flood-
plains, mangroves, seagrasses, saltmarshes, arctic
wetlands, peatlands, freshwater marshes and forests
are very diverse habitats, with different str ...
Climate, carbon and coral reefs
Tropical coral reefs cover an area of over 284 000 km2, providing habitat for thousands of species and yielding more than US$ 30 billion annually in global goods and services, such as coastline protection, tourism and food. Corals reefs are now threatened by the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while warmer sea temperatures are disturbing the delicate symbiosis between coral organisms and algae. For example, 16 per cent of all tropical coral reefs were killed off by thermal stress during a single extreme El Niño–Southern Oscillation event in 1997–1998. As a result of escalating atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, more of this gas is being dissolved in the world’s oceans. This has already reduced ocean pH and the trend is projected to continue. Moreover, the altered ocean chemistry is expected to have major corrosive effects on marine ecosystems and to alter the calcification rates of corals, phytoplankton and other species.
impactos del cambio climatico en ecosistemas costeros
Anthropogenically induced global climate change has profound implications for marine
ecosystems and the economic and social systems that depend upon them. The
relationship between temperature and individual performance is reasonably well
understood, and much climate-related research has focused on potential shifts in
distribution and abundance driven directly by temperature. However, recent work has
revealed that both abiotic changes and biological responses in the ocean will be
substantially more complex. For example, changes in ocean chemistry may be more
important than changes in temperature for the performance and survival of many
organisms. Ocean circulation, which drives larval transport, will also change, with
important consequences for population dynamics. Furthermore, climatic impacts on one
or a few leverage species may result in sweeping community-level changes. Finally,
synergistic effects between climate and other anthropogenic variables, particularly fishing
pressure, will likely exacerbate climate-induced changes. Efforts to manage and conserve
living marine systems in the face of climate change will require improvements to the
existing predictive framework. Key directions for future research include identifying key
demographic transitions that influence population dynamics, predicting changes in the
community-level impacts of ecologically dominant species, incorporating populations
ability to evolve (adapt), and understanding the scales over which climate will change and
living systems will respond.
IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON AQUATIC FLORA AND FAUNA
A rise in temperature as small as 1° C could have important and rapid effects on the geographical distributions and mortality of some organisms. The more mobile species should be able to adjust their ranges over time, but less mobile and sedentary species may not.There are many factors that can cause a warming of our climate; for example, more energy from the sun, large natural events such as El Nino or an increased greenhouse effect. Rising temperatures can directly affect the metabolism, life cycle, and behaviour of marine species. For many species, temperature serves as a cue for reproduction. Clearly, changes in sea temperature could affect their successful breeding. The number of male and female offspring is determined by temperature for marine turtles, as well as some fish and copepods (tiny shrimp-like animals on which many other marine animals feed). Changing climate could therefore skew sex ratios and threaten population survival.
Modelling climate change impacts on nutrients and primary production in coast...
The document describes an integrated modelling approach used to project the impacts of climate change on nutrient loadings and phytoplankton communities in coastal waters. The approach combines climate models, a hydrological model, and an ecological model. Climate models project increases in winter precipitation and summer temperatures. The hydrological model shows increases in winter nutrient loads and decreases in summer. The ecological model then projects changes in nutrient concentrations, phytoplankton biomass, and species composition in the coastal waters.
eng456 project
This document provides an overview of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity based on a report from the Second Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group. It discusses observed and projected impacts including changes in species distributions, timing of life cycles, ecosystem composition and services. Climate change threatens biodiversity through increasing temperatures, altering carbon cycles and increasing extreme weather events. Risk assessment tools are needed to identify vulnerable species and ecosystems to prioritize adaptation activities. Economic valuation of ecosystem services and incentives should be considered to support adaptation and not negatively impact biodiversity conservation.
CLIIMATE CHANGE AND BIODIVERSITY.pptx
Climate change threatens biodiversity in several ways. Rising global temperatures cause shifts in species' habitats and ranges, disrupting ecosystems. Polar regions are especially at risk, as melting ice threatens animals like polar bears. In the oceans, warming and acidification endanger coral reefs and plankton. Loss of biodiversity then undermines ecosystem services like pollination and water purification. International data shows an increasing number of threatened species as climate change accelerates extinction rates. Maintaining biodiversity can help buffer against climate impacts and support ecosystem adaptation.
Biology - Chp 6 - Humans In The Biosphere - PowerPoint
Human activities can affect the biosphere by altering habitats, overharvesting resources, and polluting the environment. Resources are either renewable like forests and fisheries, which can replenish if sustainably managed, or nonrenewable like fossil fuels. Two major threats to the global environment are ozone depletion, which is addressed by banning CFCs, and global climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Conservation aims to protect biodiversity and ecosystems for humanity's long term well-being.

ocean role in climate change
The document discusses the relationship between climate change and the ocean. It notes that the ocean absorbs over 30% of carbon dioxide emissions, which is causing the ocean to warm and become more acidic. This is negatively impacting ocean ecosystems and species. Species are migrating to new areas as the climate changes, which could create international issues. Addressing climate change will require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions globally through policies like the Paris Agreement. Protecting coastal ecosystems like mangroves and seagrasses can also help mitigate climate change by storing carbon.
copetti_carniato_2013
This document summarizes the results of modeling exercises that simulate the impact of climate change on two types of surface aquifers: lakes and rivers. For lakes, it focuses on the impact of global warming on the thermal structure of two Italian lakes, Lake Como and Lake Pusiano, using a hydrodynamic model. The model projects an increase in average yearly lake temperature of 0.04°C per year from 1970-2000 and 0.03°C per year from 2001-2050 according to IPCC climate change scenarios. These increases are expected to reduce mixing between lake layers and impact phytoplankton growth and cyanobacteria blooms. For rivers, it describes a methodology using models to estimate changes in nutrient loads in

The document summarizes key information about Eastern Boundary Upwelling Systems (EBUS) and the impacts of climate change on these coupled human-natural systems. It notes that EBUS are highly productive ocean ecosystems that support fisheries, tourism, and agriculture. Observed changes include wind and upwelling intensification in most EBUS. Projected changes under climate change include further wind and upwelling changes, deoxygenation and acidification, varying impacts on primary production, and effects on fish biomass and fisheries. These changes threaten important ecosystem services and food security, especially for vulnerable communities with low adaptive capacities. The document calls for supporting sustainable management and reducing stresses to help reduce climate risks to EBUS and the
Christopher and The impacts of.pdf
Christopher DG. Harley and Williams, S.L. (2006) examined the impacts of climate change on coastal marine systems. They found that changes in ocean circulation and biology have more significant impacts on organism survival than changes in surface temperature alone. Ocean circulation controls larval transport and population dynamics. Substantial efforts are needed to preserve marine systems and improve predictive models of climate change responses. Considering interactions between climate change and human activities will help conserve living marine ecosystems.
IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change is negatively impacting wetlands and the birds that depend on them for habitat. [1] Wetlands are becoming degraded due to changes in precipitation and temperature. [2] Birds use wetlands for breeding and rely on their physical and biological attributes, but climate change is altering these habitats. [3] A case study from Nepal found that temperatures have increased 0.41°C per decade and precipitation has become more variable, negatively impacting wetland birds through changes to their food availability, water resources, living space, and increased invasive species.

Regional Climate Change, Sea Level Rise & Water Resources focused on climate change impacts in southeast Florida and the associated risks and challenges for water resource management. The document discussed rising sea levels and temperatures projected by the IPCC, observed trends in Florida's climate, and potential impacts including saltwater intrusion, flooding risks, and effects on ecosystems and water supply. It also outlined SFWMD's role in regional climate adaptation efforts through monitoring, modeling, and collaboration on issues like unified sea level projections and flood protection strategies.
Climate change ,adaptation and mitigation in fisheries
The document discusses climate change impacts on fisheries and aquaculture. It notes that climate change affects these industries through ocean acidification, changes in sea temperatures and currents, and more extreme weather events. These changes impact fish populations and habitats, causing shifts in distribution and productivity. They also affect fishing and aquaculture operations through changes in costs, productivity and safety. The impacts vary regionally, with tropical areas expected to see larger declines in fish catch potential than temperate regions. Adaptation strategies are needed to help these industries adjust to the changes.

Slide deck for the IPCC Briefing to Latvian Parliamentarians
This document summarizes a briefing given by IPCC officials to members of the Latvian Parliament. It discusses the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, focusing on mitigation pathways and options available now to halve emissions by 2030 in key sectors. Specific mitigation opportunities highlighted include building retrofits, urban solutions, and the crucial role of the built environment in achieving carbon neutrality. Adaptation strategies are also addressed, with examples given of the European Climate Mission providing support to update risk assessments and develop adaptation plans in focus areas like Latvia.
SRCCL Report
Climate change mitigation and adaptation options have the potential for synergies and trade-offs with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Mitigation and adaptation measures could support certain SDGs related to health, food security, cities and communities, while also potentially conflicting with economic and social development goals depending on how they are designed and implemented. Policymakers should consider these interactions to maximize co-benefits and minimize negative impacts across mitigation, adaptation and development efforts.
Food, agriculture, land, and water: Insights from AR6 and knowledge gaps for AR7
Climate change is impacting the global water cycle and leading to effects across many economic sectors and societies. Most documented adaptations relate to water, and water is central to adaptation, though effectiveness decreases with increased warming. Many mitigation measures have significant water footprints that must be managed to reduce impacts on water and food security. Knowledge gaps remain around transition pathways for the agricultural sector that balance mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development.
Agriculture and Food
Climate change is already impacting global food systems and future impacts are expected to be systemic, especially from increased heat. Climate change will raise risks of food insecurity, but climate adaptation of food systems can reduce these risks while also lowering greenhouse gas emissions. While climate adaptation in agriculture and food systems has received more attention, current adaptation efforts remain fragmented, small-scale, and focused more on planning than implementation.

This document provides an overview of key findings from the IPCC's 6th assessment cycle regarding climate change impacts on food and water systems, risks of food systems and deforestation to climate change, climate change mitigation potentials, and synergies with sustainable development goals. It lists relevant figures from the IPCC reports and provides contact information for the IPCC Secretariat and Press Office.
Assessing the land sector potential in IPCC AR6 WGIII
The document discusses estimates of the land sector's potential to mitigate climate change from 2020-2050. It finds that the cost-effective potential (less than $100/ton of CO2) is estimated to be 8-14 gigatons of CO2 equivalent per year on average, which represents 24-42% of the sector's technical mitigation potential. Bottom-up sectoral models provide higher-resolution estimates at country and sub-national levels but have difficulty accounting for interactions between sectors, while integrated assessment models link all economic sectors but have coarser resolution and consider fewer land-based mitigation activities.

The document provides an overview of the latest version (2.89) of the IPCC Inventory Software for estimating national greenhouse gas inventories. Key points:
- Version 2.89 implements Tier 1-3 methods from the 2006 IPCC Guidelines and elements of the 2019 Refinement to facilitate reporting to the UNFCCC.
- It allows estimation of emissions at subnational levels and includes functions for uncertainty analysis and interfacing with the UNFCCC reporting tool.
- The software guides users through the estimation process category-by-category and generates a JSON file that can be imported into the UNFCCC reporting tool.
IPCC Emission Factor Database (EFDB)
The IPCC Emission Factor Database (EFDB) is an open library launched in 2002 that contains emission factors and other parameters used to estimate national greenhouse gas emissions. It is regularly updated with new peer-reviewed data and its usage and downloaded data have increased over time. In 2023, a new upgraded version was released with enhanced search functions and data statistics. An annual meeting is held for editorial board members and data providers to discuss proposals for new data to include and ways to improve the database. Over 2,400 new data points were recently accepted for inclusion after robustness, applicability, and documentation criteria were met.
IPCC TFI work on Methodology Report on Short-lived Climate Forcers (SLCFs)
The IPCC decided to develop a new Methodology Report on Short-Lived Climate Forcers during the AR7 cycle. Expert meetings were held to analyze existing methodologies, identify knowledge gaps, and develop category and species lists. A scoping meeting will take place in 2024 to determine the report outline, authors, and workplan. The report will be developed over several years and author meetings, with reviews by experts, governments, and the IPCC before final publication in 2027.
Adaptation-Mitigation Synergies and Trade-offs
Dr. Debora Ley presented at COP28 in Dubai on the Sixth Assessment Report from Working Group II on impacts, adaptation and vulnerability. The presentation discussed adaptation and mitigation synergies and trade-offs, the feasibility of adaptation measures, and thanked the audience for their attention.
Adaptation-Mitigation Synergies and Tradeoffs
This document discusses the synergies and tradeoffs between climate change adaptation and mitigation. It states that mitigation is critical to ensuring a wide range of effective adaptation options by limiting global warming increase. With increased warming, both human and natural systems will face greater losses and damages and exceed their limits of adaptation. The document also notes that response measures to climate change, like deployment of bioenergy crops, can impact food systems, ecosystems and water scarcity if used over large amounts of land. Dedicated bioenergy crops consistent with mitigation scenarios could require an area half the size of current global cropland.

Sonia Seneviratne gave a presentation on involving youth and improving participation of young scientists in the IPCC process from a European perspective. She discussed how the climate crisis will impact future young generations the most. While young scientists made up 63% of first-time authors for the IPCC's AR6 report, most recurring authors were from Europe and North America. Barriers to participation for European youth included the extensive travel required for in-person meetings. Seneviratne concluded it is essential to better involve young people by having them serve as authors, observers, and stakeholders, and by reducing demands for travel through more virtual meetings while continuing support for less developed countries.

This document outlines opportunities for early career scientists to contribute to and get involved with the IPCC assessment process, including the approved outline, nomination and selection of authors, expert reviews, and the IPCC Scholarship Programme. It notes key milestones in the AR7 assessment process such as scoping approval, internal/government reviews, and report approval. The IPCC Scholarship Programme provides opportunities for young scientists from developing countries to further their climate change studies and has awarded over 90 scholarships to date funded by various partners.
IPCC Inventory Software: Waste Sector
The IPCC Inventory Software for the Waste Sector allows for subnational disaggregation of waste data and implements methods for estimating greenhouse gas emissions from waste. It features a Waste Type Manager to centrally manage parameters for different waste categories. Users can select waste types and disposal sites to estimate methane emissions. The software also enables estimation of nitrous oxide from industrial wastewater and interoperates with UNFCCC reporting tools. A guidebook for the waste sector is under development.

The software allows subnational reporting, uses of mixed Tiers, and stores inventory data in a single database. Ongoing work includes developing a land representation tool and guidebook. The IPCC TSU provides support to users through documentation, help desk, and annual meetings.
Carbon Dioxide Removal to reach net-zero and return from overshoot
1) The document discusses key findings around carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report (AR6).
2) AR6 defines CDR as activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it durably, including both natural and enhanced biological and geochemical sinks as well as direct air capture with storage.
3) AR6 assessed CDR methods and their effects, finding that feedbacks will determine CDR effectiveness in drawing down atmospheric CO2. Pathways in AR6 all involve some amount of CDR to balance residual emissions, but specific volumes depend on contextual factors.
The road ahead for the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities in AR7
The document discusses the upcoming IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities in AR7. It notes that the report is supported by several organizations and will involve contributions from all three IPCC working groups. It also discusses how the report will build upon cross-working group integration that began in AR6, examining topics like urban climate impacts, policy options, and the climate impacts of mitigation actions. The document asks what people are looking for in the upcoming Special Report and why.

Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

- 4. Changes in key physical and biogeochemical properties and processes, including the deep ocean and relevant ocean regions, modes of variability, teleconnections and their feedbacks on the climate system A global view of oxygen loss over the past 50 years, largely fueled by warming, yields 2% loss, but much greater regional losses.

Editor's Notes
- In this talk I[ am going to describe the extent to which observed changes in climate can be attributed to natural and anthropogenic factors.] with particular reference to the oceans. I will present the greater evidence available now compared to AR4 that human-induced changes are occurring right across the climate system, including atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere. I will also discuss how increased understanding allows us to better quantify the anthropogenic and natural forcings. While a perspective of at least 30 years is needed to provide a robust assessment of attribution of climate changes. And then discuss how the major headlines from the Second Assessment report to the Fifth assessment report have changed.
- mean percentage change in projected 169 maximum catch potential (MCP) of 280 Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) and mean percentage 170 change in projected revenues of 192 fishing nations in the 2050s relative to the level in the 2000s 171 under RCP 8.5 scenario - Use multi-model ensemble
- The destruction of coral reefs directly threatens the physical boundaries and security of the Pacific islands, and poses serious food security risks to islands that rely on agriculture and fisheries as their main food sources. Because reefs form a natural, physical barrier that protects the coastline from severe weather events, their destruction, combined with rising sea levels, causes sea water to infiltrate farmland as well as lead to coastal erosion.
- Generally, estimated economic stresses due to climate change project losses of USD 63 billion per year starting in 2010. This influence will increase by more than 100 percent to USD 157 billion each year by 2030 (Fundacion DATA Internacional, 2010). Average Annual Losses (AAL) as a percentage of GDP is much higher in SIDS compared with the global average as shown by Chart 3 above. Asset replacement charges arise out of inaction in arranging for climate change impacts. The total value of infrastructure, buildings, and cash crops considered at some level of risk in the Pacific is estimated at over US$111 billion. In the Pacific Region, the asset replacement cost is on average 4 times greater than the GDP (in 2013), for some countries such as Timor-Leste the ratio of asset replacement cost is 14 times their GDP. (UN-OHRLLS, 2015).
