impacts and options for adaptation and
mitigation
• Publication of reports
• No research, no monitoring, no
recommendations
• Policy relevant but not policy prescriptive
• Extensive review processes of its reports
• Support to UNFCCC

20. Perspectives on Climate Change and Sustainability
31. Although the GWPs have been updated
by the IPCC, estimates of emissions
and removals reported under the
UNFCC should continue to use the
GWPs from the Second Assessment
Report (SAR .(
The guidelines under which
inventories are developed, the
Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for
National Greenhouse Gas
Inventories (IPCC/UNEP/OECD/IEA
1997) and the UNFCCC Reporting
Guidelines for national inventories
were developed prior to the
publication of the TAR .
Therefore, to comply with
international reporting
standards under the UNFCCC,
official emission estimates are
to be reported by Parties using Figure .. Importance of GWP
SAR GWP values.

46. Agriculture sensitivity to climate
• Effect on crops
Incoming solar radiation regulates
photosynthesis processes
Air temperature controls the duration of
General Constraints
the growing period and other Incoming solar radiation
processes linked with the accumulation Temperature
of dry matter (i.e. leaf area expansion, Water and nutrient availability
respiration)
Rainfall and soil water availability
Local Constraints
affects the duration of growth (i.e leaf Late spring and early autumn
area duration and photosynthetic frosts
efficiency) Heat stresses
• Effect on animals Hails and storms
metabolic processes (direct effect)
forage quality and quantity (indirect
effect)
ACACIA, 1999
47. Direct consequences of CC on agro-ecosystems
Yields of grains and other crops could decrease
substantially across the Mediterranean region
due to increased frequency of drought, even if
potential production should raise thanks to
increased CO2 concentrations. Some crops
(e.g. maize) could be forced out of production.
Livestock production would suffer due to a
deterioration in the quality of rangeland
associated with higher concentrations of
atmospheric carbon dioxide and to changes in
areas of rangeland (increase of unproductive
shrubland and desert).
48. Influence on crop production
Main evidences
Current differences in crop productivity between northern
and southern countries will increase under climate change
Inter-annual variability of crop yields will increase,
especially in regions, such southern Europe, where crop production is
affected by water shortages
Adaptive strategies (changing variety and altering sowing date)
may alleviate yield losses by reducing the risk of low yields in most
situations
Future research will have to quantify the uncertainties within
climate change impacts assessments to produce confidence intervals
for each result
49. Influence on livestock systems
Main evidences
Changes in availability and prices of grains for feeding
(cereals, pulses and other feed grains)
Changes in productivity of pastures and forage crops
Change in distribution of livestock diseases
Changes in animal health, growth, and reproduction
(direct effects of weather and extreme events)
Change in the turn-over and losses of nutrients from
animal manure, both in houses, storages and in the field
manure
influencing the availability of manure in organic farms
51. Indirect consequences
• Crop production would be further threatened by
increases in competition for water from other
sectors.
• World prices for many key commodities such as
wheat, maize, soybean meal and poultry could
rise significantly as a result of global climate
changes and macroeconomic factors.
• Not only might Mediterranean countries loose in
economic terms, but the combination of
population growth, higher prices and yield losses
would lead to a deterioration in levels of food
security in particularly in southern countries.
52. Competition for water resources
• In relatively water-abundant and developed
communities, competition is between consumptive
and non-consumptive uses, in water-scarce ones
uses
competition still primarily results from the
difficulty of satisfying the increasing demands for
‘traditional’ consumptive water uses.
• In the Mediterranean basin both forms of
competition can be observed, but countries on the
southern shores are experiencing a continuous
decrease in their ability to satisfy ‘basic needs’
53. A first conclusion
• Climate change tends to exacerbate existing
environmental and socioeconomic problems
(desertification, food security, etc.), rather
than creating new ones, but the concurrent
macroeconomic trends could lead to
amplified negative interactions between
environmental and economic variable and
amplified social impacts. Water resources
are the main source of concern.
56. Effects of rising temperature of the water Cycle

57. Causes of desertification
Human activities:
• Global climate change
• Extinction of biodiversity
• Contamination and pollution
of air ,water, and land
• Enrichment of the resources
with persistent organic
pollutants
• Removal of biomass for fuel
• Over cultivation
• Overgrazing
• Mismanagement of water
resources
• Land mining
Climate variations
58. Salinity
About 2 million fed. suffer
from Stalinization
problems.
60% of the cultivated lands of
Northern
Delta region are salt affected.
Due to:
• The misuse of irrigation
water .
• Improper field drainage
systems .
( 4 million acres of 7.4 million have
been provided with field drainage
systems).
59. Urbanization
•Urban encroachment and soil scarping.
•Losses was estimated by about 20,000
Fed. / year).
Urbanization is expected to rise in a
“business-as –usual “ scenario
64. Conservation of land Resources from
pollution
Cause :
The extensive use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides
and agrochemicals amendments .
led to :
Excessive leaching of nitrates to the water table and further to the
groundwater resources causing health and environmental hazards .
Approached by :
Research and extension activities.
Public awareness efforts.
Introduction of Integrated Pest Management practices.
Restrictive rules for importing and using pesticides.
Rational use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
65. Frost
High temperature will affect the thermal requirements and cooling
requirements of the Securities fallen fruit, which may affect the spread of
the cultivation of some crops such as apples, peaches, pears.
