Sea-level rise poses a significant threat to Small Island Developing States (SIDS) due to the concentration of people, assets, and infrastructure in coastal zones.
As sea level rise drives saltwater farther inland, drinking water supplies of some coastal cities will be contaminated.
Sea level rise and land subsidence — induced flooding are projected to have severe impacts on highly populated Asian deltaic cities.
Climate change has affected diverse spheres and its impact is being witnessed worldwide. Soil, the basis of human sustenance, is both directly and indirectly affected by climate change.
Protected areas have become a vital component of the global biodiversity conservation strategy due to the increasing extinction and vulnerability of different species in the 21st century. In Ghana, besides the shared governance of protected area management, there also exists the governance by indigenous community models in which traditional structures (clans and stools) use taboos, deities, totems, and myths as tools in managing protected areas. To study the effectiveness of the various governance systems in protected area management, we compared species diversity, vegetation structure, and biomass stock of an area under shared governance (wildlife sanctuary) to communal governance (sacred grove).
There is an increasing interest in the link between ambient temperature and sexual crime in the context of climate change.
This review article examines observed and projected climate change impacts on water security across the world's drylands to the year 2100.
Temperature affects many life processes, but its effect might be expected to differ among eukaryotic organisms inhabiting similar environments.
Globally, financial services are well positioned to contribute to the transformation needed for sustainable futures and will be critical for supporting corporate activities that regenerate and promote
