Climate change and water resources: risk-based approaches for decision-making by Borgomeo, E

“…</p> <p>To test these hypotheses, this thesis presents an analytic approach for (1) incorporating nonstationary climate change projections and other uncertain factors related to demand changes into water resources decision-making, (2) understanding trade-offs between benefits of climate risk-reduction and cost of climate change adaptation, and (3) characterizing water supply vulnerability to unprecedented drought conditions. …”

Environmentally-extended input-output analysis in environmental assessment / Farah Ayuni Sahafea @ Shafie by Sahafea @ Shafie, Farah Ayuni

“…This study applied a retrospective cross sectional study to provide a form of environmental assessment in developing economic-environmental input-output model for greenhouse gases emission monitoring and climate change adaptation. Methodologically, the potential impact from economic sectors’ contribution on greenhouse gas emissions which eventually leads to global warming and climate change was quantitatively assessed. …”

Evaluating the effects of climate change on thermal bioclimatic indices in a tropical region using climate projections from the bias-corrected CMIP6 model by Mohammad Kamruzzaman, Mohammad Kamruzzaman, Touhidul Islam, H. M., Ahmed, Sharif, Bhattacharjya, Debu Kumar, Kamal Khan, Md. Shah, Mahmud, Golam Iftekhar, Almazroui, Mansour, Shahid, Shamsuddin

“…Yet, there has been a lack of analysis regarding potential shifts in thermal bioclimatic indicators (TBIs) in this region, a critical aspect of climate change adaptation. To address this gap, a study used a multimodel ensemble (MME) of 18 bias-corrected CMIP6 GCMs to project variations in 11 TBIs across Bangladesh for the near (2015–2044), mid (2045–2074), and far (2075–2100) futures under three SSPs: low (SSP126), medium (SSP245), and high (SSP585). …”

Robust statistical downscaling of rainfall and temperature for reduction of uncertainty in climate change impacts on river discharge by Hadipour, Sahar

“…Assessment of possible impacts of climate change on hydrological processes at local or regional scale is considered as the most essential component in devising effective climate change adaptation policies. However, addressing the uncertainties in future climate projections is the key challenge in climate change impact assessment for effective adaptation planning. …”

A framework towards resilient Mediterranean eco-solutions for small-scale farming systems by Emilia Lamonaca, Amel Bouzid, Mariangela Caroprese, Maria Giovanna Ciliberti, Claudia M.d. S. Cordovil, Maria-Anastasia Karatzia, Mahmut Keskin, Messaoud Lazereg, Christina Lidga, Umberto Panniello, Anastasios Saratsis, Marco Tappi, Irene Valasi, SezenOcak Yetişgin, Fabio Gaetano Santeramo

“…The proposed models are expected to have an impact not only on the environment (in terms of mitigation), but also on the economic and social performances, as they are expected to foster the responses of small-scale farms to the increasingly frequent effects of climate change (adaptation solutions). Among the positive impacts, we emphasise the importance of more stable revenues, a tendency that would help farmers to raise their revenues. …”
