The Effects of Historical Housing Policies on Resident Exposure to Intra-Urban Heat: A Study of 108 US Urban Areas

Jeremy S. Hoffman, Vivek Shandas, Nicholas V. Pendleton · 13 Jan 2020

The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heat waves due to human-caused climate change puts historically underserved populations in a heightened state of precarity, as studies observe that vulnerable communities—especially those within urban areas in the United States—are disproportionately exposed to extreme heat. Lacking, however, are insights into fundamental questions about the role of historical…

Effect of Climate Change on the Yield of Cereal Crops: A Review

Jin Wang, Sai Kranthi Vanga, Rachit Saxena et al. · 15 May 2018

By the end of this century, the average global temperature is predicted to rise due to the increasing release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. This change in climate can reduce agricultural yields, resulting in food insecurity. However, agricultural activities are one of the major contributors of GHGs and lower yields can trigger increased…

Factors Affecting Farmers’ Adaptation Strategies to Environmental Degradation and Climate Change Effects: A Farm Level Study in Bangladesh

Mohammed Nasir Uddin, Wolfgang Bokelmann, Jason Scott Entsminger · 26 Sep 2014

Offering a case study of coastal Bangladesh, this study examines the adaptation of agriculturalists to degrading environmental conditions likely to be caused or exacerbated under global climate change. It examines four central components: (1) the rate of self-reported adoption of adaptive mechanisms (coping strategies) as a result of changes in climate; (2) ranking the potential…

Climate Change and Variability in Ghana: Stocktaking

Felix Asante, Franklin Amuakwa‐Mensah · 24 Dec 2014

This paper provides a holistic literature review of climate change and variability in Ghana by examining the impact and projections of climate change and variability in various sectors (agricultural, health and energy) and its implication on ecology, land use, poverty and welfare. The findings suggest that there is a projected high temperature and low rainfall…

Rising Precipitation Extremes across Nepal

Ramchandra Karki, Shabeh ul Hasson, Udo Schickhoff et al. · 13 Jan 2017

As a mountainous country, Nepal is most susceptible to precipitation extremes and related hazards, including severe floods, landslides and droughts that cause huge losses of life and property, impact the Himalayan environment, and hinder the socioeconomic development of the country. Given that the countrywide assessment of such extremes is still lacking, we present a comprehensive…

Climate template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Climate format?
