The World Health Organization has developed standardized comparative risk assessment methods for estimating aggregate disease burdens attributable to different risk factors. These have been applied to existing and new models for a range of climate-sensitive diseases in order to estimate the effect of global climate change on current disease burdens and likely proportional changes in the future....

Regional Climate Modelling (RCM) projects are designed to: improve the regional representation of climate obtained from Global Climate Models (GCM) and to provide addedvalue (Giorgi and Mearns 1991) at the regional scale to the climate change signal. Global models are run at coarse spatial resolutions and they do not properly represent regional/ local features such as: topography, coastlines an...

[1] Understanding natural causes of climate change is vital to evaluate the relative impacts of human pollution and land surface modification on climate. We have investigated one of the most important natural causes of climate change, volcanic eruptions, by using 54 ice core records from both the Arctic and Antarctica. Our recently collected suite of ice core data, more than double the number o...

Anthropogenic climate change will affect the distribution and urgency of health risks around the world. However, the majority of adverse health impacts of climate change can be avoided by implementing suitable adaptation policies. Planned adaptation to the health impacts of climate change comprises a broad range of public health interventions. Most of these measures are not only effective in a ...

Desertification refers to land degradation phenomenon in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas, resulting from various factors including climate variation and human activities. For evaluation and mapping of desertification many research have been conducted leading to regional and local models. In this research, among different existing methods IMDPA‌ was selected and desertification intensity...

abstarct development of greenhouse gases in future periods not only causes change in average amounts of climate variables but also makes variables of this variability affected. then for sure concerning alternations followed with climate variables’ fluctuations and its average amounts in effecting on runoff would make more reliable results. in this inquiry initially fluctuations and average amou...

Anthropogenic climate change is projected to reduce cereal yields and food security and therefore to undermine future efforts to reduce child undernutrition. But models are needed to better measure the potential impacts of climate change on population health. Now researchers have developed a model to estimate future undernutrition attributable to climate change as a function of its impact on cr...

International Kyoto mechanisms are especially designed to reach worldwide emissions reduction targets globally. The main intention behind the idea of emissions abatement attainment by Kyoto mechanisms is to make emissions cut opportunities more flexible and to allow the trade of emissions permits (ET) and the investment transfer from industrialized to less developed countries or regions in tran...
