EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON STRATEGIES FOR RISK REDUCTION

Climate change will affect everyone but developing countries will be hit hardest, soonest and have the least capacity to respond. South East Asia is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change with its extensive, heavily populated coastlines, large agricultural sectors and large section[r]

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A MAJOR SOCIAL ISSUE THAT IS OF INCREASING CONCERN TO GOVERNMENTS, THE PUBLIC AND businesses, especially for those industries considered as large emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs). In the past, international discussions have focused on the scientific issues surrounding the causes[r]

Agricultural growth has long been recognized as an important instrument for poverty
reduction. Yet, measurements of this relationship are still scarce and not always reliable.

As we all know, greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity will change Earth’s climate. The recent globally averaged warming by 0.5ºC is partly attributable to such anthropogenic emissions. Unfortunately, climate change may impact adverse affects on human health through a range of pathways[r]
