Ilmastokestävää matkailua

Ilmastonmuutoksen vaikutuksia tutkitaan seuraamalla muutoksia ajassa, ja tapahtuneiden muutosten avulla voidaan myös ennustaa tulevaisuudessa ilmeneviä vaikutuksia. Vaikutuksia tarkastellaan usein tietystä näkökulmasta, kuten ekologisesta, taloudellisesta, yhteiskunnallisesta tai poliittisesta. Ilmastonmuutos ilmenee eri tavoin eri puolilla maailmaa. Vaikutusten vakavuus riippuu pääasiassa kohdealueen sopeutumiskyvystä, ja usein vaikutuksista kärsivätkin eniten kaikkein heikoimmassa asemassa olevat.

Risks to public health in the UK from climate change are spelled out in a report published by the Health Protection Agency.

The study, Health Effects of Climate Change in the UK 2012, is an extensive update of earlier reports published by the Department of Health and the report was presented at the HPA's annual conference - Health Protection 2012 - at the University of Warwick. Alongside a more detailed look at the effect of temperature rises on death rates in hot and cold spells, the scientists also investigated the effects a changing climate will have on pollen production, outdoor and indoor air pollution, floods, ultraviolet radiation, food, water and insect-borne diseases.

Nearly 1000 people came to the Fair Ideas conference to debate topics in four broad themes: business models for sustainability, urbanisation that improves lives, transforming economic systems for people and planet, and shaping sustainable development goals (see list of speakers and other information). An IIED team of researchers, writers, editors and designers has worked over the past three days to compile the outcomes of the conference’s 40+ sessions into a single summary report.

The main messages that emerged from the event are as follows: A transformative green economy does not act as an anti-competitive brake on development.

A few weeks back, deep in a diplomatic warren in Bonn, Germany, the UN climate negotiations convened their first major session since December’s “breakthrough” in Durban, South Africa.

Global Climate Justice gets its 15 Minutes

It would be a bit of an understatement to say that Bonn didn’t go well. See this rollup or, if you’re braced for the details, see the Climate Action Network’s coverage and commentary, and the Third World Network’s coverage and commentary, and the IISD’s summary. The UNFCCC Secretariat will also be doing a report; no doubt it will be soon. The “Youngos” in action Despite the dead air of the Maritim conference hotel, Bonn was notable, for two reasons. Maybe.

How Clean is Your Cloud?

What percentage of global greenhouse gas emissions is attributable to the IT sector? This report takes a look at the energy choices some of the largest and fastest growing IT companies are making, as the race to build "the cloud" creates a new era of technology. Download report annex: Company Data Center and Estimates of Power Demand As one of the fastest growing sectors, both economically and in their energy consumption, global IT companies and cloud computing companies have a tremendous opportunity and unique responsibility to take greater control of their electricity supply chain, and to manage their energy ecosystem both outside and inside the data centre.
