System change for climate change? Understanding climate change adaptation mainstreaming within the European Union’s development cooperation
… dissertation aims to assess the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation in the development cooperation efforts of the European Union (EU). Adaptation and aid activities are inherently interlinked for three reasons: (i) the disproportionate impact of climate change on developing countries, (ii) …

Spatial planning for climate change adaptation : developing a climate change local area adaptation plan for Khayelitsha
Climate change is now widely seen as a major challenge of this time and the future of cities. However, the most vulnerable will be the urban poor particularly those located on the urban fringes in high risk areas with limited access to basic services and economic opportunities. In South Africa, …

International human rights law and climate change: the case for a duty to mitigate climate change
… dissertation deals with the relationship between climate change and international human rights law. A special focus lies on the question if states have a human rights obligation to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas-emissions. To this end, the dissertation develops and proposes a …

HONEY BEES, BIODIVERSITY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
… by factors such as habitat loss, pathogens, climate change, and the genetic risks associated with selective breeding. This thesis explores the genetic and microbial dimensions of honey bee health and productivity within a closed breeding population selected since 2015 for docility, hygienic …

Climate change information and analyst expectations
… facilitate the processing and impounding of climate information into financial expectations. Using survey data from CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) about firms’ self-identified climate-related risks along with over 1 million analyst reports from ThomsonOne, I find climate …

Socio-economic Consequences of Climate Change
… of climatic factors. We find that (i) climate warming is instrumental in raising the probability of onset of armed conflicts, and (ii) there is an interdependency in the way temperature and precipitation affect the onset of conflicts: dryness (low precipitation) increases the effect of …

Climate Drivers Compound Under Climate Change
Seasonal climate variability in south-east Australia is influenced by three major climate drivers; the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). Each climate driver has impacts upon seasonal rainfall, temperature and fire risk. In …

Predicting malaria dynamics under climate change
Malaria dynamics are closely tied to climate, as rainfed water pools provide the habitat for the Anopheles mosquitoes, and temperature influences this vector's ability to spread disease. Climate change drives shifts in microtopographic controls on the persistence of mosquito habitat and the life …

Water, climate change and small towns
… examines the interrelationship between “water, climate change and small towns”. The research question is framed in three parts: 1) can climate change be integrated into existing planning frameworks? 2) can small towns build resilient strategies against projected climate change impacts? and, 3) …

Predicting diarrhoea outbreak with climate change
Climate change is expected to exacerbate diarrhoea outbreak in South Africa, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the region. In this study, we modelled the impacts of climate change on diarrhoea with machine learning methods. We applied two deep learning techniques, convolutional neural …

Land-ocean contrasts under climate change
Observations and climate models show a pronounced land-ocean contrast in the responses of surface temperature and the hydrological cycle to global warming: Land temperatures increase more than ocean temperatures, low-level relative humidity increases over ocean but decreases over land, and the …

Climate Change and Municipal Bond Ratings
This paper examines whether climate change risks are incorporated into municipal bond ratings. In particular, I investigate whether municipalities with exposure to sea-level rise have lower bond ratings. Using a sample of rated bond issuances from 2011 to 2020, I docu- ment a negative relationship …
