IPCC Special Report. The Regional Impacts of Climate Change: An Assessment of Vulnerability : summary for Policymakers
The Special Report explores the potential consequences of changes in climate for ten continental- or subcontinentalscale regions. Because of the uncertainties associated with
regional projections of climate change, the report necessarily takes the approach of assessing sensitivities and vulnerabilities of each region, rather than attempting to provide quantitative predictions of the impacts of climate change. As in the SAR, “vulnerability” is the extent to which climate change may damage or harm a system; it is a function of both sensitivity to climate and the ability to adapt to new co ...

Stabilisation des gaz atmosphériques à effet de serre : conséquences physiques biologiques et socio-économiques : Document technique III du GIEC
Le présent document est axé essentiellement sur le CO2, car, à ce jour et selon les projections, c’est celui des gaz à effet de serre qui a l’effet le plus prononcé sur le forçage radiatif (1,56 W m-2 pour le CO2 contre 0,47 W m-2 pour le CH4, 0,14 W m-2 pour le N2O et 0,27 W m-2 pour les hydrocarbures halogénés en 1990). On trouvera un exposé sur l’utilité du forçage radiatif pour les études sur l’évolution du climat dans GIEC94 (chapitre 4) et dans le document technique II du GIEC. Nous considérons aussi, dans
ce document, les conséquences d’une série d’hypothèses pour les futures émi ...

Rapport spécial du GIEC. Incidences de l'évolution du climat dans les régions: Evaluation de la vulnérabilité : résumé à l'intention des décideurs
Organisation météorologique mondiale (OMM); Zinyowera Marufu C.; Moss Richard H.; et al. - GIEC, 1997Le présent rapport examine les conséquences éventuelles de l'évolution du climat dans dix régions continentales et sous-continentales. Les incertitudes entourant les prévisions régionales des changements climatiques ont contraint les auteurs à évaluer la sensibilité et
la vulnérabilité de chaque région, plutôt que de tenter de chiffrer les incidences prévues. Comme dans le SAR, la vulnérabilité définit la mesure dans laquelle l'évolution du climat risque d'endommager un système quelconque ou de lui nuire; elle est fonction de sa sensibilité au climat et de sa capacité à s'adapter à de n ...

Estabilización de los gases atmosféricos de efecto invernadero: implicaciones físicas, biológicas y socioeconómicas : Documento técnico III del IPCC
De entre todos los gases de efecto invernadero, este informe se centra en el CO2, dado que es el que hasta la fecha tiene y, según las proyecciones, tendrá un mayor efecto sobre el forzamiento radiativo (en 1990, 1.56 W m-2 para el CO2, frente a 0.47 W m-2 para el CH4, 0.14 W m-2 para el N2O, y 0.27 W m-2 para los halocarbonos). La utilidad del forzamiento radiativo en los estudios sobre el cambio climático se aborda detalladamente en IPCC94 (Capítulo 4) y en IPCC TP SCM (1997). Se examinarán también en este trabajo los efectos derivados de una serie de supuestos sobre posibles emisiones futur ...

Climate and urban development
This booklet, a contribution to the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (HABITAT II) in Istanbul, reviews the relationship between climate and human settlement. Focus is on how urbanization may influence both the local climate and global climate change. It is suggested that any negative influence can be mitigated through planning, building and operating urban areas in harmony with climate.

Understanding climate change : a beginner's guide to the UN Framework Convention
Information Unit on Climate Change (IUCC); Information Unit on Climate Change (IUCC); United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) - UNEP, 1995Introduction: A giant asteroid could hit the earth! Something else could happen! The global temperature could rise! Wake up! The 1990s have been a time of international soul- searching about the environment. What are we doing to our planet? More and more, we are realising that the Industrial Revolution has changed forever the relationship between humanity and nature. There is real concern that by the middle or the end of the next century human activities will have changed the basic conditions that have allowed life to thrive on earth.
