Published by: CDKN ; 2012This summary highlights the key findings of the IPCC Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX) report including an assessment of the science and the implications of this for society and sustainable development. It includes material directly taken from the SREX report, where the underlying source is clearly referenced, but it also presents synthesis messages that are the views of the authors of this summary and not necessarily those of the IPCC. It is intended to illuminate the SREX report’s vital findings for decision makers in Latin America and the Caribbean, and so better equip them to make sound investments to reduce disaster risk in a changing climate. This series pulls out the state-of-the-art knowledge about current and future impacts of climate extremes, and options for dealing with them.

Arab Environment : Climate Change. Impact of Cilmate Change on Arab Countries
CDKN, 2009In this report, the editors state that the Arab countries are in many ways among the most vulnerable in the world to the potential impacts of climate change, as the region already suffers from aridity, recurrent drought and water scarcity. The report highlights that virtually no work is being carried out to make the Arab countries prepared for climate change challenges. Specifically, no concerted data gathering and research efforts could be traced regarding the impacts of climate change on health, infrastructure, biodiversity, tourism, water and food production. Reliable records on climate pat ...

In this report, the editors state that the Arab countries are in many ways among the most vulnerable in the world to the potential impacts of climate change, as the region already suffers from aridity, recurrent drought and water scarcity. The report highlights that virtually no work is being carried out to make the Arab countries prepared for climate change challenges. Specifically, no concerted data gathering and research efforts could be traced regarding the impacts of climate change on health, infrastructure, biodiversity, tourism, water and food production. Reliable records on climate patterns in the region barely exist. It is recommended that concerted efforts are put towards policy making in the region so that Arab countries are able to prepare for the potential negative impacts of climate change, which range from sustainable management of natural resources to risk planning.
