scenario, RCP8.5. A selection of these projections are available at global warming levels (GWLs), which partly overcomes the availability of only RCP8.5. GWLs represent the increase in surface temperatures averaged over the globe expressed relative to the pre-industrial period (1850–1900). Using GWLs

-industrial levels, (van Vurren et al. 2011), which is higher than the target of limiting warming to well below 2˚C set by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Paris Agreement. The baseline period of 1981-2010 considered in this report represents an observed increase of around

If you fly, consume items transported from beyond your garden, use public transport (trains or buses) or utilities (electricity or water) or take account of severe weather warnings, you are likely to have

Introduction The results of the last Climate Change Assessment Report developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) state that human-induced warming has affected

? Unseasonably warm or bitterly cold? Knowing what the weather’s up to now is crucial for daily decisions. And it’s vital, too, to know what’s likely tomorrow, next week, and in the months, years and decades ahead as our climate changes. This knowledge can make the difference between winning or losing, profit

in transmission of diseases in general. Particularly climatic anomalies have detrimental effects on malaria transmission, especially in highland, highland fringe and semi-arid areas. Until recently, Ethiopia used to experience major malaria epidemics due to the global warming or climatic changes

and coordination. He also expressed appreciation at the participation of operatives from the field, at the meeting and thanked the representatives for their long travel. The meeting began with a round of self-introductions and continued with a broad discussion of KRCS operational activities

well-known phenomenon being the UHI effect, whereby urban areas are warmer than surrounding rural areas. This arises due to a combination of factors, including additional absorption of heat by urban surfaces, effects of urban geometry (i.e. street canyons) on radiation, reduced evapotranspiration due

temperature up to 2023 is predicted to be near, or exceeding 1 °C above pre-industrial levels. This highlights more than ever the challenge that nations face to honour the commitment made in the Paris Agreement to keep global warming below 2 °C above pre-industrial temperatures and to pursue even greater
