Infographic: Climate Change and Tourism
Climate change will have serious impacts on almost every sub-sector of the tourism industry through rising temperatures, higher sea levels, and degraded habitats. Mountain and snow tourism, beaches and coastal areas, and ocean and sea life are particularly at risk. Adaptation strategies exist for some sectors like diversifying offerings for mountain resorts and protecting infrastructure, but other impacts may be difficult to adapt to like species range shifts. The tourism industry will need to adopt both adaptation and mitigation measures to respond to climate change risks.

How Natural Disasters Impact the Environment 2013
This document discusses how various natural disasters impact the environment. It begins by defining different types of natural disasters such as earthquakes, hurricanes, fires, tsunamis, volcanoes, blizzards, floods, tornadoes, droughts and heat waves. For each disaster, it summarizes the typical damage caused, such as property destruction, loss of habitat, erosion, contamination of water supplies, and loss of power. Overall, the key environmental impacts of natural disasters discussed are property loss, loss of habitat, and damage to infrastructure.
Global warming
Global warming is defined as the increase in average surface temperatures due to rising levels of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide released by human activities such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The document warns that global warming is already happening and will have serious consequences for future generations if not addressed, but notes it is a problem that can be solved by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from human sources.
Global warming-adam
Global warming is caused primarily by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. This is leading to rising global temperatures and sea levels, changing precipitation patterns, and more extreme weather events. While individual behaviors can help reduce emissions, the largest contributions come from corporations. To effectively prevent further global warming, governments need to implement strict emission laws, apply public pressure on corporations, and raise awareness of the growing threats from this problem.

Natural disasters have a significant impact on developing nations and poor communities within those nations. Some countries that are at high risk of death from multiple hazards include Bangladesh, Nepal, the Dominican Republic, and Burundi. The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the most powerful earthquakes in over 40 years and killed tens of thousands in a dozen countries. While natural disasters instantly destroy resources, they also draw attention to societal issues like poverty, as was the case with Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. Global warming leads to increased natural disasters like floods and windstorms through higher temperatures and more atmospheric moisture. Loss of infrastructure from disasters can increase indirect costs on the poor by reducing access to services. Natural disasters are a major cause

Global Warming By Lauraige+Soph
Global warming is caused by CFCs building up in the atmosphere and thinning the ozone layer, allowing more sunlight to pass through and melt polar ice caps. This causes sea levels to rise and increases natural disasters. Weather refers to short-term conditions in a specific area, while climate describes conditions over long periods of time. Global warming is linked to more tsunamis, cyclones, floods and droughts, and sea levels have already risen 59cm in the last 100 years and will continue to rise without reducing pollution.

IONS Seminar 2014 - Session 3 - Climate Change and Risk for Sea Ports
1. The climate is changing due to human-induced warming and the impacts will continue into the future. The ocean has absorbed over 90% of the increased heat in the Earth system since 1955.
2. Global sea levels have risen significantly since 1901 and will continue to rise more rapidly throughout the 21st century due to thermal expansion and melting ice sheets and glaciers. Regional variations will occur.
3. Impacts on Australian seaports will mainly come from increased extreme events like heatwaves, floods, and cyclones, which can damage infrastructure and disrupt operations, as seen in recent events. Port resilience and adaptation strategies are needed.
Global Warming Save Earth
Global warming is caused by increased greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels. If left unaddressed, it will have severe consequences including rising sea levels that flood coastal areas, more frequent extreme weather events, species extinction, and reduced agricultural yields. The vast majority of scientists agree that climate change poses a major threat. Adapting to its impacts and transitioning to renewable energy are necessary to avoid its worst effects and ensure economic and environmental sustainability. Collective global action is urgently needed to facilitate this transition and mitigate the risks of climate change.

East Cornwall CFMP
The document is a summary of the East Cornwall Catchment Flood Management Plan (CFMP). It describes the flood risks in the area and sets out policies and actions to manage those risks over the next century. The CFMP divides the catchment into areas with similar flood risk characteristics called policy units. For each unit it identifies one of six policies to reduce, accept, or take advantage of flood risk. The actions proposed include flood storage schemes, maintaining existing flood defenses, surface water management plans, and working with landowners to reduce runoff. The goal is to implement the policies through cooperation with local authorities and other groups.
Okanagan
This document summarizes a presentation about using information and communication technologies (ICT) to adapt to rather than mitigate global warming. Some key points:
- Mitigation efforts alone will not be enough to address climate change, and adaptation strategies are now needed to survive the impacts.
- ICT sector growth is contributing to energy demand and emissions but can also provide solutions if designed to use renewable energy not connected to the grid.
- Examples of ICT adaptation solutions proposed include building an "Energy Internet" and moving data centers to remote renewable energy sites instead of cities.
- Rewarding carbon reductions through ICT services like broadband could be an alternative to carbon taxes.

Current research and policy initiatives, designed to contribute to the resilience of the agriculture sector, will be introduced.
Dangerous Degrees
Today, CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are around 50 per cent higher than they were 20 years ago, and have been rising each year. This kind of change to the chemical mixture in the air doesn’t come without consequences. Acting like a blanket, the build-up of greenhouse gases is the main reason why the average global temperature has risen by nearly 1°C in the last century. This booklet explains why a rise of only a few degrees in the average global temperature risks our prosperity, security, and health. It explains why it is so important to reverse the rise in emissions within the decade. And why it is still within our means to do so.

Impacts of Climate Change
The document discusses the impacts of climate change in Africa and strategies for mitigation and adaptation. It finds that:
- Climate change will significantly impact water resources, agriculture, coastlines, and human health in Africa through increased drought, flooding, sea level rise, and disease spread. This poses major risks and challenges.
- Africa has a very low adaptive capacity due to factors like poverty, lack of technology, education, and infrastructure. Current coping strategies will not be enough to adapt to the scale of future climate impacts.
- Concerted action is needed both to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and help Africa adapt to the severe consequences of climate change through projects, policies, and financial mechanisms. International cooperation will be essential
21. TCI Resilience Flagship Report 2012
This document analyzes Australia's exposure to climate change risks for major infrastructure and the country's level of preparation. It finds that infrastructure damage is a leading cost of climate change globally. While Australia is vulnerable due to its climate and coastal population centers, national readiness is patchy. Several infrastructure sectors like electricity and water have begun coordinated climate adaptation efforts, but most sectors are underprepared for impacts like flooding and heatwaves. The report calls for businesses to fully assess climate risks and governments to better integrate climate risk management nationally.
ICLR: How flood affects insurance
The document discusses the impacts of flooding on insurance. It provides background on the Institute for Catastrophic Loss Reduction (ICLR), including its mission to reduce losses from severe weather and earthquakes. It then discusses two major Canadian flooding events in 2013 - the Southern Alberta flood that caused $1.7 billion in insured damages, and the Toronto flood that caused $850 million in insured damages. Finally, it outlines several lessons learned about reducing flood risks, such as improving flood mapping, discouraging development in floodplains, and upgrading stormwater infrastructure.

Presented to NYU Ecotoxicology graduate level course, 2014
Audience: graduate studentsTask 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.

How climate data can help address the climate challenge
Climate change has already altered the weather we experience and the magnitude of impacts from extreme temperatures and rainfall. These impacts manifest locally and can cause human causalities and damage to infrastructure and natural systems. In future, some further climate change is now inevitable, but the rate and magnitude of change will depend on global greenhouse gas emissions. New data and tools to use the data are available to help plot a path through the climate and weather challenges, enabling organisations at all scales to adapt to the changing conditions.

Tyndall Centre presentation: Welsh Carbon budget report
Tyndall Centre presentation: Welsh Carbon budget report Comisiwn Cymru ar y Newid yn yr Hinsawdd/ Climate Change Commission for Wales
This document analyzes carbon budgets and emission pathways needed to limit global warming to 2°C. It finds that avoiding dangerous climate change is still feasible but probabilities are low. To have a 66% chance requires emissions to peak by 2025 and drop 10% annually by 2035 for poorer nations and 5% annually by 2025 for wealthier nations. Even a 33% chance requires mitigation far beyond what is currently planned. Carbon budgets for Wales to 2050 allow for 11-18 more years of current emissions, much lower than UK estimates due to not assuming geoengineering or an inequitable global budget apportionment.WG Presentation on the Environment Jill - joining up new legislation

CAT's feedback from Bonn (June 2015)Comisiwn Cymru ar y Newid yn yr Hinsawdd/ Climate Change Commission for Wales
The document summarizes discussions from the UN Climate Conference in Bonn in June 2015. It notes that previous conferences in Warsaw and Lima established the goal of voluntary emissions reduction commitments from all countries to be agreed in Paris in 2015. However, the commitments submitted so far would only stabilize emissions through 2030, while rapid declines are needed. It also stresses the need for the post-Paris pathway to remain ambitious enough to allow for technological and economic changes. Finally, it suggests goals for the Paris agreement, including short-term 2020 emissions reductions, a review process, subsidies ending, and a long-term legally binding goal to end emissions by 2050.Resource Efficient Wales (REW)

Climate Change Adaptation in Flintshire
Climate Change Adaptation in FlintshireComisiwn Cymru ar y Newid yn yr Hinsawdd/ Climate Change Commission for Wales
Climate change adaptation work was piloted in Flintshire, Wales to understand how a changing climate could impact local services and communities. Tools were used to assess vulnerabilities and several key lessons were learned, including that no single organization can adequately plan for adaptation alone and that integrating adaptation challenges existing plans and professional boundaries. A process is now underway to identify five strategic shared risks across infrastructure, natural systems, the economy, communities, and systems. Next steps include continuing collaborative work to explore vulnerabilities and monitor progress on critical infrastructure and asset risks. Challenges remain around guidance, recommendations, costs, and gaining acceptance of needed changes.A National Climate Impact Profile for Wales

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

- 10. Keith Jones, director of the Welsh Institution of Civil Engineers, called for the whole question of building on flood plains to be re-examined. “There are two worrying effects,” he said. “First, the development itself might flood, but also that the development takes up room where the water would naturally go, and that causes problems elsewhere.” He suggested that “expert advice from civil engineers is being ignored by planning authorities, who were under pressure to release land for building”.
