Resilience to extreme weather
The Royal Society, 2014This document investigates how we can reduce the impact of extreme weather today while preparing ourselves for future changes, and what we can do to build our resilience. The authors explore these and other key questions to help inform important decisions about adaptation and risk reduction that are being made at global, national and local levels.

How urban societies can adapt to resource shortage and climate change
Satterthwaite D. - The Royal Society, 2011The increased pressures on the world’s natural resources and ecological systems in the past century, has been accompanied by rapid urban population growth. Urban centres themselves have ecological reputations since they drive unsustainable environmental change, rapidly increasing the use of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions due to increasing per capita consumption levels. They also lead to high levels of resource use and waste generation, causing serious ecological consequences locally, regionally and globally, especially in terms of climate change. However, addressing the issue of urb ...

Economic instruments for the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
The Royal Society, 2002The need to reduce anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere – notably carbon dioxide (CO2) – is crucial to slowing down the rate of global climate change. Governments can reduce these emissions by advocacy, by regulation and by the application of economic instruments. Economic analysis shows convincingly that placing primary emphasis on the use of economic instruments provides the most
cost-effective route for such emission reduction. In this report we consider two generic types of economic instrument that could provide the most effective solution to rising CO2 em ...
