Regional climate change scenarios and their impacts on water requirements for wheat production in Iran

We simulate the effect of climate change on water requirements of cold seasonwheat in various climatic zones of Iran. The research considers both observedclimate (temperature and precipitation) changes during recent decades (1960-2009)based on instrumental records and projected future changes to 2100 based on theMAGICC/SCENGEN 5.3 compound model. 20 General Circulation models are usedbased on a...

Discussion Paper: Impacts of Climate Change on Regional Energy Systems

According to the findings from the ESPON applied research project on natural and technological hazards, certain regions in Europe are clearly more vulnerable to environmental risks derived from climate change. This vulnerability has been documented with regard to the possible impacts of storms, draughts, floods and forest fires. It is assumed that climate change will in general lead to more ext...

Non-heat related impacts of climate change on working populations

Environmental and social changes associated with climate change are likely to have impacts on the well-being, health, and productivity of many working populations across the globe. The ramifications of climate change for working populations are not restricted to increases in heat exposure. Other significant risks to worker health (including physical hazards from extreme weather events, infectio...
