Climate change impacts on electricity and residential energy demand
The energy sector is both affected by climate change and a key sector for climate protection measures. Energy security is the backbone of our modern society and guarantees the functioning of most critical infrastructure. Thus, decision makers and energy suppliers of different countries should be …

Climate change impacts on agricultural vegetation in sub-Saharan Africa
… their livelihoods and will suffer from negative climate change impacts on agriculture until the middle and end of the 21st century, even more if weak governments, economic crises or violent conflicts endanger the countries’ food security. The impact of temperature increases and changing …

Climate change impacts and farmers' responses in Chilanga District, Zambia
Climate change and variability are predicted to threaten agricultural production in Southern Africa. For example, Zambia's agriculture remains vulnerable to climate change and variability due to the small-scale farmers' dependence on rain-fed agriculture. Some studies in Zambia have shown the …

On the Edge: Climate change impacts on Irish coastal promontory forts
… by the sea at unprecedented rates due to the impacts of anthropogenic climate change. We must act now to manage this rich coastal cultural heritage resource and to access the insights these assets hold of past societies before they are irrevocably lost. Coastal promontory forts are among the …

Modelling climate change impacts on the productivity of short rotation coppice
… of a mixed portfolio of renewables. Furthermore, climate change is predicted to have far reaching consequences on crop growth. Process-based models can help quantify these interactions and predict future productivity. Here we use ForestGrowth-SRC, a process-based model originally designed for …

Tourist understanding of and engagement with the climate change impacts of holidays.
Climate change has become a very important global issue and has risen to the top of the international political agenda. Tourism’s contribution to climate change has been the subject of considerable research and debate, with the UNWTO estimating the tourism industry generates 5% of global carbon …

Stratospheric ozone and Southern Hemisphere climate change : impacts and robustness in CMIP5 models
… observed southern hemisphere (SH) circulation changes during austral summer, along with the consequential impacts on tropospheric climate conditions. Links between ozone depletion and the positive phase of the dominant mode of variability of the southern annular mode (SAM) have been found, …

Building agrarian infrastructure resilience against climate change impacts : a case of Plateau State, Nigeria
… the sustenance of livelihood systems. However, climate change and the increasing trend of hazard events pose challenges to the stability of agrarian infrastructure systems and, in turn, development in the sector. Previous strategies to manage the impacts of climate change on agriculture focused …

Quantification of climate change impacts on urban catchment hydrology and water sensitive design devices
… role in the development of cities. However, climate change is projected to adversely affect the urban catchment hydrology. Thus, future projections of climatic variables are needed at high temporal and spatial resolutions for stormwater impact assessment studies. In urban catchments, Water …

Modeling Climate Change Impacts on the Effectiveness of Stormwater Control Measures in Urban Watersheds
Climate change (CC) science has made significant progress in development of predictive models. Despite these recent advances, the assessment of CC impacts in urban watersheds remains an area of active research, in part due to the small temporal and spatial scales needed to adequately characterize …

Climate change impacts on habitats and biodiversity : From environmental envelope modelling to nature conservation strategies
Climate change will pose entirely new challenges for nature conservation. A literature study of 852 publications (between 2003 and 2010) illuminates this topic, examines driving research forces as well as focal points and shows recent research gaps. Here could be shown that changes in species …
