global disaster trends- emerging risks of disaster- climate changeNitin Vadhel
Disaster risk trends are a measure of the sustainability of development.
Trend analysis helps us to understand patterns of disaster risk and, consequently, whether disaster risk reduction is being effective.
Using disaster trends to inform policy and practice requires a good understanding of the limits of these trends.
The pattern the trend displays (rising, falling or fluctuating) is only as real as the amount, quality and reliability of the data used. For instance, patterns of disaster losses may actually reflect a number of factors unrelated to disaster risk, including the time period over which they are measured and improvements in disaster risk reporting.
In order to account for these problems, analysts determine the statistical significance of the trend.

Climate Change - Impacts and Humanitarian ImplicationsCharles Ehrhart
Climate change: impacts and humanitarian implications. Presentation at the Dubai International Humanitarian Aid & Development Conference (DIHAD), April 2009.
Climate change is altering forest ecosystems, with many changes expected by the end of the 21st century. Forests vary widely, and not all forests are equally at risk; vulnerabilities are strongly influenced by regional differences in climate impacts and adaptive capacity. Further, as an increasing amount of scientific information on forest vulnerability to climate change becomes available, natural resource managers are searching for ways to realistically use this information to meet specific management needs, ranging from landscape-level planning and coordination to on-the-ground implementation.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Incorporating Climate Tipping Points Into Policy Analysis

Incorporating climate tipping points into
policy analysis

Elizabeth Kopits
October 18, 2021
The views expressed during this presentation are those of the presenter and do
not necessarily represent those of the U.S. EPA or the U.S. IWG.
2. Overview
• Climate tipping points generally enter policy discussions through a
concern about “catastrophic” climate change
– the potential for “catastrophic impacts” due to climate change is the most important
aspect for determining the optimal level of response (Pindyck & Wang 2012,
Weitzman 2009)
– “the economic case for a stringent GHG abatement policy, if it is to be made at all,
must be based on the possibility of a catastrophic outcome” (Pindyck 2012)
• Economic analyses of climate change are often criticized for failing
to adequately capture possible “catastrophic” impacts
• How much this matters depends on the policy analysis one is doing
– It is one thing to incorporate tipping points and uncertainty into a briefing for
Congress or the President and the broader case for taking action.
– Its quite a different challenge to incorporate tipping points into analysis of GHG
mitigation benefits (e.g., social cost of greenhouse gas (SC-GHG) estimation).
2
3. Overview
• One obstacle that has impeded progress is the inconsistent and
sometimes nebulous use of “catastrophic” and related terms
• Kopits et al. (2013) reviewed the state of the literature as a starting
point for a discussion of how to improve economic modelling of
potential large-scale impacts of climate change
• Overall, we found the literature not yet useful for substantively
informing policy
– Uniform way in which economic studies had typically modeled such impacts
resulted in modeling of events that do not resemble those of concern.
• There has been an explosion of research since that time, and
increased collaboration between economists & physical scientists
– This workshop is an excellent way to showcase where progress has been
made!

“Catastrophes” Abrupt Climate Change from
Climate Science Perspective
• “an abrupt climate change occurs when the climate system is
forced to cross some threshold, triggering a transition to a
new state at a rate determined by the climate system itself
and faster than the cause” (NRC 2002)
• Definitions vary but 3 most salient aspects of the typical use
of the term are
1) the change occurs relatively quickly
– “rapid”, “abrupt”, “sudden” has been used to describe 1, 10, 1000 yrs
2) it causes a natural system to move to a new steady state
– shifts system dynamics, alters the path/speed of change
3) it potentially results in a relatively large impact
– geographic breadth can range from a few countries to global

Climate “Tipping Points”
• In climate science literature, “catastrophic” climate change
discussion has focused on large scale changes that result from
crossing a threshold, or “tipping point” causing the natural
system to move to a new equilibrium.
– Such a change in state typically consists of three basic components
(NRC 2002): trigger, amplifier, and a source of persistence making the
new state stable and self-reinforcing
• Impacts (changes to the system) will still occur prior to
crossing the threshold
• Key uncertainties pertain to the location of thresholds, how
quickly they will be passed, linkages between various tipping
points, etc.

Economic Use of “Catastrophe”
• Commonly describes a permanent and instantaneous
regime shift that lowers welfare and occurs with a low
probability
– Used as far back as Cropper (1976) [not for climate]
– Most common interpretation of “catastrophe” in climate
change economics literature
• Yohe (1996), Gjerde et al. (1999), Castelnuovo et al. (2001), Bosello and
Moretto (1999), Lemoine and Traeger (2011), many others
– Used to represent: collapsing ice sheets, shutdown of the THC,
among other events
– “Arrival rate” and resulting welfare change chosen ad-hoc
– Find “catastrophes” to have a large policy impacts
8. 8
Economic Use of “Catastrophe” (cont’d.)
• How this matches scientific data on likelihood, impact,
and timing of large-scale climate events is rarely
evaluated
• Linkage between natural system changes and welfare
impacts appears to almost never be carefully developed
• Hulme (2003) stated no estimates for the welfare loss of
a THC shutdown are “rooted in substantive
environmental, economic, or social research.”
• How well does this representation of “catastrophes”
match the scientific evidence and the likely economic
impacts?

2013 Review of Evidence on Potentially
“Catastrophic” Earth System Changes
• Kopits et al. (2013) reviewed 15 often discussed potential large-
scale earth system changes due to climate change
– Based on Lenton et al. (2008)
• Find considerable variation in likelihood of “tipping point”
behavior, warming needed to pass potential critical threshold,
geographic extent of impacts, transition timescale, types of
physical and economic impacts
• None appear to result in discontinuous, permanent loss in
welfare once a threshold is crossed
• Regardless of degree of certainty about existence of tipping
point and location of critical threshold, important large-scale
changes are expected within this century

Discussion
• There is an error in translation when modelers incorporate the
“catastrophe” work of physical scientists into integrated assessment
models (IAMs)
– Disconnect between timescales considered by physical science
communities and realization of physical and economics consequences in
economic studies
– In modeling economic consequences, assumptions are often ad-hoc
– This gap suggests that previous economic studies may only show the
sensitivity of optimal policy to potential large-scale events but provide few
specific policy implications
• The notion of a single instantaneous event triggering a physical or
welfare change appears ill suited for the types of large-scale natural
events it is being used to represent
– Need to better capture the dynamics of earth systems and the associated
uncertainties when in modeling physical endpoints that are input into
damage functions
– Include all relevant/potential earth system changes not just a single or
generic one
– Improve mapping of dynamics changes in welfare effects
13

Discussion (cont’d.)
• To be policy relevant can not just assume an ad-hoc X%
reduction in consumption if event Y occurs
– In some cases, the appropriate structure already exists to measure welfare
changes if the natural system dynamics are modeled appropriately
– In others, more work is needed to capture the full effect
• E.g., Development of the welfare connection to new physical endpoints
• Better representation of active adaptation to capture welfare impacts of
increases in the rate of change in physical endpoint
• The irreversibility associated with crossing a tipping point and the
uncertainties associated with the location may have important policy
implications
– Has been studied for a generic climate “catastrophe” but only just starting
to be explored using more realistic modeling
– May be difficult to assess with all of the complexities of natural system
dynamics requiring a more complete IAM to be used as a calibrating tool for
a further reduced form model
14
15. Moving forward
• All is not lost, IAM frameworks allow for better climate and other
earth system modeling (even in a reduced form) that can improve
approximation of physical impacts of a number of these large-scale
earth system changes
• Researchers in the next sessions will show us where progress has
been made!
