Climate change induced socio-economic tipping points: Review and stakeholder consultation for policy relevant research
(IOP Publishing, 2020)Tipping points have become a key concept in research on climate change, indicating points of abrupt transition in biophysical systems as well as transformative changes in adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the ... -
Climate change perception: Driving forces and their interactions
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2020-06-01)Public perception of climate change can either facilitate or hinder the implementation of climate policies. This perception is dependent on a number of influencing factors, called drivers, in ways that are still not clearly ... -
Climate Change Perceptions and Adaptations among Smallholder Farmers in the Mountains of Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo
(Land, 2002)The warming rates in many mountain areas are higher than the global average, negatively impacting crop systems. Little is known about the climatic changes which are already being observed in eastern Democratic Republic ... -
Climate change, flood risk and adaptation measures: Challenges in assessing damage and evaluating of measures
(Ekonomiaz, 2020-01-01)Floods generate a considerable risk to human wellbeing due to the great impacts they cause. This is the reason behind the plans developed by different institutions that have the objective of improving alert and prevention ... -
Climate Change, Responsibilities, and Defeatism and Complacency
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-12-12)Paradoxically, knowledge of the increasing certainty about climate change, and of the severe consequences of this phenomenon for large portions of the world population, may lead individuals and communities to fall into a ... -
Climate finances. A review

Climate Risk Assessment under Uncertainty: An Application to Main European Coastal Cities
(Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016-12-16)This paper analyses the risk of extreme coastal events in major European coastal cities using a stochastic diffusion model that is calibrated with the worst case emission scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate ... -
Combined application of cost-benefit and multi-criteria analysis for decision support in air quality management policy: a case study in Lima and El Callao, Perú
(2017-06-02)Los dos tipos de herramientas más utilizados para la evaluación de políticas públicas con impactos ambientales son el análisis coste-beneficio (ACB) y el análisis multicriterio (AMC). Aunque el carácter complementario de ... -
Combined artificial intelligence, sustainable land management, and stakeholder engagement for integrated landscape management in Mediterranean watersheds
(Environmental Science and Policy, 2023)In the context of water scarcity, soil erosion, and biodiversity decline, the Mediterranean basin urges to manage its nearly hundred coastal watersheds in a coordinated manner. To this end, we propose an integrated approach ... -
Combined effects of life-history traits and human impact on extinction risk of freshwater megafauna.
(CONSERVATION BIOLOGY, 2020)Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals ≥30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. ... -
Combining eight research areas to foster the uptake of ecosystem-based management in fresh waters
(John Wiley and Sons, 2019)Freshwater ecosystems are under a constant risk of being irreversibly damaged by human pressures that threaten their biodiversity, the sustainability of ecosystem services (ESs), and human well-being. Despite the implementation ... -
Community-level reorganizations following migratory pollinator dynamics along a latitudinal gradient
(Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2020)Predicting how communities re-arrange in response to changes in species composition remains a key challenge in ecology. Migratory species, which enter and leave communities across latitudinal gradients, offer us a unique ... -
Comparable GHG emissions from animals in wildlife and livestock-dominated savannas
(npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023)Pastoralism in Old World savannas is known to emit a significant share of global livestock-sourced greenhouse gases (GHG). Here, we compare calculated emissions from animals in a wildlife-dominated savanna (14.3 Mg km−2), ... -
Comparative analysis of the socio-economic characteristics of Delta and Non-Delta spaces of Ghana: An input-output approach
(African Review of Economics and Finance, 2019-07-08)This paper provides insights into the current socioeconomic and biophysical state of the Volta Delta, Ghana. We employed non-survey methods, notably the Flegg Location Quotient (FLQ) method of regionalization and ... -
Comparing urban coastal flood risk in 136 cities under two alternative sea-level projections: RCP 8.5 and an expert opinion-based high-end scenario
(Elsevier, 2020)The high degree of uncertainty associated with the extent of future sea-level rise stems primarily from the potential mass loss of the Greenland and Antarctica ice-sheets. We explore the impact of this uncertainty on ... -
Competing Ecosystem Services: an Assessment of Carbon and Timber in the Tropical Forests of Central America
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-10-07)The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA 2005) has classified a number of ecosystems good and services (EGS) provided by tropical forests, namely cultural, provisioning, regulatory and support services. The primary focus ... -
Competing Ecosystem services: an Assessment of Carbon and timber in the Tropical forests of Central America
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-01-12)The study provides a quantitative appraisal of the carbon and timber stocks and flows of tropical (primary) forests by evaluating them simultaneously using data (physical and economical) from a number of sources. The ... -
Competitive ability, stress tolerance and plant interactions along stress gradients
(Ecological Society of America, 2018)Exceptions to the generality of the stress-gradient hypothesis (SGH) may be reconciled by considering species-specific traits and stress tolerance strategies. Studies have tested stress tolerance and competitive ability ... -
Competitividad y fuga de carbono: el caso de la economía vasca
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-07-07)El cambio climático y la elevada dependencia de las energías fósiles hacen necesario avanzar hacia una economía baja en carbono. Un futuro sin “carbono” supone una revolución energética y económica sin precedentes que ... -
