This article supports SDG 13 and 9 by investigating financial decision being made utilizing climate-risk assessments
This chapter analyses the complex influence of climate change on vector borne diseases. It is perhaps expected that climate change will be invoked as a major driving force. The actual effect, however, is highly site specific suggesting that other factors play an equally important role.
Background: Humanity's current use of resources is not in line with the goal of sustainable development. Climate change impact scenarios appear worryingly pessimistic.
The number of countries with a national development plan has more than doubled, from about 62 in 2006 to 134 in 2018.
Objective: Attention is drawn to the potential of global warming to influence the health and wellbeing of the human race.
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction encourages investment in innovation and technology development in disaster risk management.
Irrigation management may influence soil greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Solid-set sprinkler irrigation systems allow to modify the irrigation time and frequency.
To fight against the biodiversity loss and to take advantage of ecosystem services that nature can offer, urban planners integrate green spaces in urban projects.
This event primarily focusses on SDG 9 (industry, innovation and infrastructure), exploring the technical and engineering challenges of addressing all 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
