The objective of study of the impacts of climate change on mountain hydrology is to develop a methodology to assess the net impacts of climate change on the hydrological response in mountainous regions...
This report presents an overview of how the energy sector might be impacted by climate change and what options exist for its management. It focuses on energy sector adaptation, rather than mitigation...
The Amazon basin is a key component of the global carbon cycle. The old-growth rainforests in the basin represent storage of ~ 120 petagrams of carbon (Pg C) in their biomass. Annually, these tropical...
The objective of the study is to develop a methodology to assess the net impacts of climate change on mountain hydrology. The development of this methodology will allow planners and policy makers to better...
The purpose of this report is to provide decision makers in Colombia (and by extension other countries or regions), who are considering the deployment or consolidation of wind power, with a set of options...
Estimating the potential costs of climate destabilization is not a trivial matter. Potential climate impacts have multiple consequences, some of which can be monetized while others are beyond the reach...
This report summarizes the application of Earth Simulator runs to model future climate in Latin America as part of efforts to better understand climate trends. The Earth Simulator has been used as part...
This summary report concludes that transport plays a critical role in efforts to achieve low carbon development. It is also the key to reducing impacts on exposure to airborne pollutants in urban areas...
