Book Vers un 2  me plan d adaptation au changement climatique pour la France

Download or read book Vers un 2 me plan d adaptation au changement climatique pour la France written by ONERC, and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage rassemble les recommandations issues de la concertation nationale pour un deuxième plan national d'adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC). Celle-ci s'est largement appuyée sur les évaluations du premier PNACC 2011-2015 permettant d'avoir un retour d'expériences d'un cycle complet de politique publique. Cette situation fait de la France un des pays les plus avancés en matière de planification de l'adaptation au changement climatique. La concertation a également bénéficié d'une prise de conscience renforcée, en grande partie grâce à l'accord de Paris qui met en avant, dans son article 7, la nécessité d'un engagement accru en matière d'daptation. C'est dans ce contexte international renouvelé et ambitieux que s'est déroulée la concertation nationale pour un nouveau PNACC qui a permis à près de 300 participants d'horizons variés d'élaborer collectivement entre l'été 2016 et l'été 2017 des recommandations visant à renforcer l'adaptation de la France au changement climatique. La richess des discussions a permis de constituer un état des lieux des besoins et possibilités d'action selon plusieurs axes complémentaires: la gouvernance, la prévention des risques, la résilience des territoires, la préservation des milieux, les filières économiques, l'amélioration des connaissances, la sensibilisation et l'action internationale. Ces recommandations ont vocation à alimenter le deuxième PNACC, annoncé dans l'axe 19 du plan climat de la France. La démarche d'adaptation au changement climatique ainsi renforcée apportera une contribution significative aux politiques climatiques visant une société bas-carbonne résiliente au changement climatique et plus largement à la transition écologique et solidaire de la France.

Book Impacts sanitaires de la strat  gie d adaptation au changement climatique

Download or read book Impacts sanitaires de la strat gie d adaptation au changement climatique written by Haut conseil de la santé publique (HCSP) and published by La Documentation française. This book was released on 2017-02-27 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique a des impacts directs sur notre santé. Il a également des effets sanitaires indirects, en modifiant la biodiversité, la végétation ou la production agricole. On assiste aussi à de nouvelles maladies infectieuses et les indicateurs épidémiologiques sont au rouge. Il est désormais impératif d'agir en tenant compte des interactions climat-énergie-économie-biodiversité-santé dans le cadre d’une écologie globale de la santé. L’enjeu est clair : si les températures de surface augmentent de 4 à 6 °C d’ici à la fin du siècle, il est à craindre que l’enchaînement des événements devienne incontrôlable avec des conséquences géopolitiques gravissimes. Cette étude très fouillée, fondée sur des études scientifiques avec diverses projections pour le XXIe siècle et au-delà, présente en détail, le Plan national d'adaptation au changement climatique.

Book Adaptation au changement climatique

Download or read book Adaptation au changement climatique written by ONERC, and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En France, un plan national d'adaptation au changement climatique (PNACC) a été élaboré en 2011, à partir des recommandations de groupes de travail sous le pilotage de l'ONERC. La Table ronde "Mobilisation nationales vers la COP 21 sur les enjeux du climat et de la biodiversité" a prévu une stratégie d'adaptation après une évaluation externe de ce plan. C'est l'objet de ce rapport public. L'ONERC y aborde l'ensemble des problématiques concernées, parmi lesquelles : la biodiversité, les conséquences géostratégiques ou encore les enjeux agricoles et forestiers. Après une mise en perspective du plan national dans le contexte international, la mission d'évaluation présente une synthèse de son travail et esquisse vingt-cinq recommandations pratiques. La mission invite à une réelle déclinaison territoriale avec participation de l'ensemble des acteurs économiques. Elle propose aussi d'intégrer à ces travaux des départements ministériels tels que ceux chargés de la défense et de l'économie.

Download or read book Water and Climate Change Adaptation written by Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets out the challenge for freshwater in a changing climate and provides policy guidance on how to navigate this new "waterscape". It examines the range and complexity of possible changes in the water cycle and the challenges of making practical, on-site adaptation decisions for water. It offers policymakers a risk-based framework and guidance to "know", "cap" and "manage" water risks in order to provide flexibility and improve decisions despite the lack of reliable predictions. It draws insights from a stock take of current policy efforts to adapt water systems across all 34 member countries and the European Union, including water-related aspects of National Adaptation Plans and Strategies, specific policy measures, and financing programmes. Finally, the report examines the use of economic instruments to promote adaptation (e.g. insurance schemes, water markets and banks, water pricing), incentives for ‘green’ infrastructure and ecosystem-based approaches, and financing issues.

Book Climate Adaptation Governance in Cities and Regions

Download or read book Climate Adaptation Governance in Cities and Regions written by Jörg Knieling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global climate change creates new challenges in particular for cities and regions. As centres of human activity they are especially vulnerable to climate change impacts. Adapting to a changing climate requires dealing with multiple uncertainties and complexity in order to allow proactive action. Therefore, cities and regions around the globe face the challenge of exploring flexible and innovative forms of governance which have to address specific local or regional vulnerabilities and build capacity to accommodate future change. This raises questions about the roles of stakeholders, the involvement of citizens, the composition and use of formal and informal instruments as well as the implementation of different forms of organization and regulation at the local and regional level. This book provides case studies from cities and regions all around the world. It analyses climate change adaptation from a perspective of organizing, administering and implementing local and regional adaptation strategies and measures. It looks into actors, actor-constellations, institutions and networks of climate adaptation. And, it provides the reader with knowledge about good practices and experiences to be transferred for solving adaptation challenges in cities and regions around the globe.

Book Governance for Drought Resilience

Download or read book Governance for Drought Resilience written by Hans Bressers and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the findings of a team of scientists and practitioners who have been working on the project “Benefits of Governance in Drought Adaptation” (in short: the DROP project), which is included in the European Union’s INTERREG IVB NWE programme. The DROP governance team developed a Governance Assessment Tool (GAT), which allows the governance setting of a given region for planning and realizing drought adaptation measures to be assessed. Based on this assessment, recommendations can be developed for regional water authorities concerning how to operate most effectively towards increased drought resilience in this context. The GAT has been applied to six regions in Northwest Europe: Twente and Salland in the Netherlands, Eifel-Ruhr in Germany, Brittany in France, Somerset in the United Kingdom, and Flanders in Belgium. These regions are subject to drought aspects related to nature, agriculture and freshwater. This book will aid regional water authorities and other relevant stakeholders interested in governance assessment, whether that context is about water, more specifically about drought or flooding events, or other environmental issues. Further, the GAT can and has also been applied more broadly to a range of governance contexts for water management and beyond.

Book Spatial Impacts of Climate Change

Download or read book Spatial Impacts of Climate Change written by Denis Mercier and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change has been a central concern over recent years, with visible and highly publicized consequences such as melting Arctic ice and mountain glaciers, rising sea levels, and the submersion of low-lying coastal areas during mid-latitude and tropical cyclones. This book presents a review of the spatial impacts of contemporary climate change, with a focus on a systematic, multi-scalar approach. Beyond the facts rises in temperature, changes in the spatial distribution of precipitation, melting of the marine and terrestrial cryosphere, changes in hydrological regimes at high and medium latitudes, etc. it also analyzes the geopolitical consequences in the Arctic and Central Asia, changes to Mediterranean culture and to viticulture on a global scale, as well as impacts on the distribution of life, for example, in the Amazon rainforest, in large biomes on a global scale, and for birds.

Book THE SECOND REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE WORLD   s ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

Download or read book THE SECOND REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE WORLD s ANIMAL GENETIC RESOURCES FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2018-06-06 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Animal genetic resource diversity underpins the supply livestock products and services across a wide range of production environments. It promotes resilience and serves as a basis for adapting livestock management to changing conditions. It is vital to livelihoods of many of the world’s poor people. It can contribute to the delivery of ecosystem services such as landscape management and the maintenance of wildlife habitats. However, it is often undervalued, underused and under threat. This report updates the global assessment provided in the first report on The State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, published in 2007. It focuses particularly on changes that have occurred during the period since the first report was published. It serves as a basis for a review, and potential update, of the Global Plan of Action for Animal Genetic Resources, which since 2007 has provided an agreed international framework for the management of livestock biodiversity. Drawing on 129 country reports, it presents an analysis of the state of livestock diversity, the influence of livestock-sector trends on the management of animal genetic resources, the state of capacity to manage animal genetic resources, including legal and policy frameworks, and the state of the art in tools and methods for characterization, valuation, use, development and conservation.

Book Integrated Groundwater Management

Download or read book Integrated Groundwater Management written by Anthony J Jakeman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to document for the first time the dimensions and requirements of effective integrated groundwater management (IGM). Groundwater management is a formidable challenge, one that remains one of humanity’s foremost priorities. It has become a largely non-renewable resource that is overexploited in many parts of the world. In the 21st century, the issue moves from how to simply obtain the water we need to how we manage it sustainably for future generations, future economies, and future ecosystems. The focus then becomes one of understanding the drivers and current state of the groundwater resource, and restoring equilibrium to at-risk aquifers. Many interrelated dimensions, however, come to bear when trying to manage groundwater effectively. An integrated approach to groundwater necessarily involves many factors beyond the aquifer itself, such as surface water, water use, water quality, and ecohydrology. Moreover, the science by itself can only define the fundamental bounds of what is possible; effective IGM must also engage the wider community of stakeholders to develop and support policy and other socioeconomic tools needed to realize effective IGM. In order to demonstrate IGM, this book covers theory and principles, embracing: 1) an overview of the dimensions and requirements of groundwater management from an international perspective; 2) the scale of groundwater issues internationally and its links with other sectors, principally energy and climate change; 3) groundwater governance with regard to principles, instruments and institutions available for IGM; 4) biophysical constraints and the capacity and role of hydroecological and hydrogeological science including water quality concerns; and 5) necessary tools including models, data infrastructures, decision support systems and the management of uncertainty. Examples of effective, and failed, IGM are given. Throughout, the importance of the socioeconomic context that connects all effective IGM is emphasized. Taken as a whole, this work relates the many facets of effective IGM, from the catchment to global perspective.

Book Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events

Download or read book Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events written by Isabelle La Jeunesse and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-04 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides an understanding of the relationship between social-ecological systems and multilevel governance so that readers can properly deal with hydrometeorological extreme events and hazards Based on field investigations from EU research projects, this book is the first to devote itself to scientific and policy-related knowledge concerning climate change-induced extreme events. It depicts national and international strategies, as well as tools used to improve multilevel governance for the management of hydrometeorological risks. It also demonstrates how these strategies play out over different scales of the decision-making processes. Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events: A Governance Issue offers comprehensive coverage of such events as floods, droughts, coastal storms, and wind storms. It showcases real-life success stories of multilevel governance and highlights the individuals involved and the resources mobilized in the decision-making processes. The book starts by presenting a synthesis of hydrometeorological extreme events and their impacts on society. It then demonstrates how societies are organizing themselves to face these extreme events, focusing on the strategies of integration of risk management in governance and public policy. In addition, it includes the results of several EU-funded projects such as CLIMB, STARFLOOD, and INTERREG IVB project DROP. The first book dedicated to hydrometeorological extreme events governance based on field investigations from EU research projects Offers a “multi-hazards” approach—mixing policy, governance, and field investigations’ main outputs Features the results of EU-funded projects addressing hydrometeorological extreme events Part of the Hydrometeorological Extreme Events series Facing Hydrometeorological Extreme Events is an ideal book for upper-graduate students, postgraduates, researchers, scientists, and policy-makers working in the field.
