IRI-CW, 01/2. Coping with the climate - a way forward : summary and proposals for action
World Meteorological Organization (WMO) ; International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI); National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA); et al. - IRI, 2001This report summarizes the results of a global review of the effectiveness of the RCOFs and related activities. Through an exhaustive stakeholder driven process, drawing on the experiences of hundreds of organizations, the review has sought to identify key issues, constraints and opportunities for improving the forum process and its contribution to the management of climate variability and change. Proposals are made to advance the goals of the RCOFs to reduce vulnerability to climate variability and change in sensitive regions and sectors.
Weather, Climate and Food Security
This booklet, WMO's contribution to the World Food Summit - 5 years later (Rome, 2002) illustrates the importance of weather and climate issues in ensuring world food security and the role of WMO in contributing to world food security.
Tiempo, clima y seguridad alimentaria
Se calcula que para 2020 la población mundial se elevará a 7,5 mil millones de personas, un aumento que, según estos cálculos se producirá en gran parte en el mundo en desarrollo. Ello significará, por ejemplo, que para satisfacer la creciente demanda de cereales los agricultores tendrán que producir un 40% más de granos en 2020. A pesar de que entre 1986 y 1998 se registró un incremento de la producción y del rendimiento de cereales a escala mundial, la producción media de cereales por habitante se mantuvo estacionaria durante ese período, y de hecho disminuyó en África y Oriente Medio. Esta ...
Le temps, le climat et la sécurité alimentaire
La population mondiale devrait atteindre 7,5 milliards d’habitants en 2020. La poussée démographique surviendra surtout dans les pays en développement. Il faudra produire alors 40 pour cent en plus de céréales pour répondre à la demande mondiale. Si ce secteur a bénéficié de gains de production et de rendement entre 1986 et 1998, le volume moyen de céréales produit par habitant a stagné à l’échelle mondiale. Il a même baissé en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient. Le recul noté dans plusieurs régions nuit gravement à la sécurité alimentaire et à la lutte contre la pauvreté. A cela s’ajoute une autre me ...

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 ...
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 ...
