Sustainable Development and Climate Change
Sustainability is defined in terms of four overlapping positions, ranging from very weak to very strong sustainability. The core idea is of a non-declining capital stock (including natural capital) over generational time. Weak sustainability positions emphasise capital substitution possibilities and the power of technical process to mitigate resource depletion and pollution problems. Climate ch...
متن کاملIntegrating climate change and sustainable development
The links between climate issues and sustainable development are manifold. Given these interconnections, the lack of close integration of the sustainable development and climate change literatures is puzzling; part of the reason for this lack of connectivity may be the very different research and policy traditions out of which each field developed. This paper argues that integrating climate cha...
متن کاملClimate change, human health, and sustainable development.
Human-induced climate change threatens ecosystems and human health on a global scale. In order to withstand the worldwide threats to ecosystems, the concept of sustainable development was introduced during the 1980s. Since then, this concept has been widely applied to guide and focus policy-making. The present article reviews the health consequences of human-induced climate change on sustainabl...
متن کاملClimate change and trace gases.
Palaeoclimate data show that the Earth's climate is remarkably sensitive to global forcings. Positive feedbacks predominate. This allows the entire planet to be whipsawed between climate states. One feedback, the 'albedo flip' property of ice/water, provides a powerful trigger mechanism. A climate forcing that 'flips' the albedo of a sufficient portion of an ice sheet can spark a cataclysm. Ine...
متن کاملSustainable Urban Development Planner for Climate Change Adaptation (SUDPLAN)
SUDPLAN is an EU FP7 project combining IT and environmental knowhow in a novel way, bringing an easy-to-use, web-based decision support system for urban climate services. It will allow city planners to take climate change and its impact on the urban environment into account in the urban planning process. The main components of the SUDPLAN product are the Scenario Management System, the Common S...
