Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 11:16AM Top scientists are urging governments to replace GDP as a measure of wealth, end damaging subsidies and transform systems of governance to set humanity on a new path to a better future. Otherwise, we risk climate, biodiversity and poverty crises that will spawn greater problems worldwide.
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 at 12:48PM Leading scientists and experts in sustainable development call for urgent changes to tackle environmental crises and improve human well-being. The group – all past winners of the Blue Planet Prize – are challenging governments ahead of the Rio+20 Summit later this year to limit human-induced climate change, stop the loss of biodiversity and halt ecosystem degradation.
Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 09:50AM The effect of a 4deg rise in temperature on the water-dependent Asian region could be catastrophic. The UK’s Meteorological Office has put together an interactive map that shows what the effects could be.
Monday, March 7, 2011 at 08:40PM Climate Change is bad for the planet, most of us agree. But it also presents some serious and pressing issues when it comes to national security.
Monday, March 7, 2011 at 11:53AM Climate Change is something that should transcend politics, says Arnie the Gubernator. He says it is time to stop arguing, and time to start doing something.
Friday, January 21, 2011 at 05:45PM There is no doubt Climate Change is changing our weather. But the effects could lead to increasing poverty, starvation, fewer industry jobs, less investment and increased danger from natural Hazards. Our edited extracts from the Global Assessment report: “Adaptation of Forests and People to Climate Change” from Dr. Balgis Osman-Elasha, lead author for International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO) help explain the potential problems.
Tuesday, December 21, 2010 at 08:24AM Asian nations show the way as major powers dither and hesitate to commit at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Cancun, Mexico.
Friday, December 3, 2010 at 11:14AM (An article contributed by the British Prime Minister David Cameron to the Observer on the climate change talks currently taking place in Cancun.)Over the past twelve months we’ve seen the devastation that unchecked climate change could bring – floods in Pakistan, forest fires in Russia, mudslides in China. And yet over the same twelve months we’ve seen a growing despondency about international efforts to protect our planet. Copenhagen was a disappointment for everyone who cares about climate change. Though some important steps were taken, simply not enough progress was made. But today, as the world looks to Cancun, I want to argue that everyone who cares about climate change should take heart – because I believe there are three clear reasons to have hope for the future.
Friday, December 3, 2010 at 09:14AM The CBAA project is carrying out climate change adaptation pilot projects at community level in eight African countries (Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa), the first six of which are Least Developed Countries.
CBAA, Climate Change in Africa, adaptation, climate change Monday, November 29, 2010 at 11:01AM Manila, the country’s capital, is the most vulnerable province when it comes to climate change. That’s according to Dr. Herminia A. Francisco, director of the Singapore-based Economy and Environment Program for Southeast Asia (EEPSEA). “In Southeast Asia, Manila ranks seventh,” Dr. Francisco told the participants of the climate change media workshop convened by the Philippine Network of Environmental Journalists, Inc. In 2009, EEPSEA made a detailed mapping assessment of seven countries in Asia, namely: Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. The assessment studied 590 subnational areas comprising 341 districts in Indonesia, 19 provinces in Cambodia, 17 provinces in Laos, 14 states in Malaysia, 74 provinces in the Philippines, 72 provinces in Thailand, and 53 provinces in Vietnam.
Monday, November 22, 2010 at 02:06PM Coaxing China into a global grand bargain to fight climate change that also satisfies the United States and other rich nations threatens to be even more daunting and elusive than fixing the economic rifts dividing them.
Climate Change, Climate Negotiations in China Thursday, September 30, 2010 at 01:22PM The scientific evidence continues to mount. The climate is changing, the effects are already being felt, and human activities are a principal cause.“Without effective action, climate change is going to be larger and more difficult to deal with than we thought"
Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 07:01PM Production of rice—the world’s most important crop for ensuring food security and addressing poverty—will be thwarted as temperatures increase in rice-growing areas with continued climate change, according to a new study by an international team of scientists.
Sunday, August 15, 2010 at 06:36PM The wooden trolleys and rusty winch on the beach may look like they belong to a bygone era, but for hundreds of fishing families they are essential weapons against climate change.
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at 03:57PM Greenpeace Philippines said climate change could amplify the proliferation and transmission of water-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue fever because of changes in water distribution, rising temperature and the explosion of microorganisms.
Thursday, January 28, 2010 at 12:15AM Not too many Filipinos are aware that we are now experiencing the El Niño phenomenon, which will last until middle of 2010. This is the reason why the Department of Agriculture (DA) has already created a task force which would carry out mitigating measures to avert the adverse effects of the dry-spell on food production of the country.
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 at 10:27PM Outcome of COP 15 in Copenhagen: A Review and Analysis By Saleemul Huq, Achala Chandani and Simon Anderson.
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 at 05:13PM The President of Timor Leste, Dr Jose Ramos-Horta told Gaia Discovery in an exclusive interview at his residence in Dili on 27 December 2009 that countries should get over the stalemate that strangled positive outcomes at the Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen in December 2009. He proposed having an Asian Climate Change Summit to focus on Asian issues and needs.
Thursday, December 24, 2009 at 12:07PM A 40 chapter interactive multimedia disc of innovative, proven, cost-effective new technologies for integrated sustainable development, adaptation to rising temperature and sea level, and solutions for reversing global climate change was circulated to all United Nations Conference on Climate Change COP-15 delegations today.
Friday, September 18, 2009 at 10:16PM Top scientists have discovered that even a rise in temperature of 2°C will entail considerable hardships for poor and vulnerable people around the world, especially those living on low-lying islands and coasts. Joining the WWF recognised climate luminaries such as Sir John Houghton, former chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) call for industrialised countries to make a commitment, at the UN Climate summit in Copenhagen, to cut carbon emissions by at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020.
