Climate change is a reality now and accelerating rapidly. It is happening and has already started to influence our life. Being not responsible at all, Bangladesh is the frontline victims of climate change in the globe. Flood, tropical cyclones, droughts, storm surges are most likely to become frequent and severe in coming years and will make it more dif…
The International Conference on Environmental Science and Technology is one of the worldwide leading environmental conferences. This biennial conference brings together engineers, scientists, researchers, students, managers and other professionals in order to address and discuss emerging environmental issues.

Ecosystem-based adaptation is recognized by the international community as a powerful, cost-effective tool to increase the resilience and reduce the vulnerability of ecosystems and people to the adverse effects of climate change. It can generate significant social, economic and environmental co-benefits with an important role in adaptation of diverse se…
2011 and 2012 witnessed two of the worst Great Plains droughts in recent memory, a tragic counterpoint to the damaging floods of 2011 and a return to the stressful times of 1998-2006. Drought is a recurring pattern in this semi-arid region, with severe droughts in the 1890s, 1930s, 1950s and 1980s. Indeed, using tree ring, lake sediment, and dune record…
Climate change is likely to have differing implications for agriculture in European countries. Farming in some countries may benefit from warmer temperatures and higher rainfall. Others may suffer from higher temperatures and water shortages. Greater variability in weather patterns is likely and extreme events such as drought and floods could become mor…
Climate change and extreme weather variation is being experienced by all of us today. Droughts, excessive rains and increasing heat conditions are becoming frequent and are affecting the natural resource base. These changes threaten food production, water availability, increase human and animal health problems, impact natural ecosystems, increase risk o…
Course objectives
Participants of this course will have full understanding of climate change adaptation concepts;
They are able to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the debate on climate change adaptation, either in the policy process and/or in providing knowledge to the policy process.
They will strengthen their positions in these process…
Description: Prolonged drought can result in economic, environmental, and health-related impacts. In this webinar, participants will learn how to monitor drought conditions and assess impacts on the ecosystem using precipitation, soil moisture, and vegetation data. The training will provide an overview of drought classification, as well as an in…
We are pleased to invite you to join us on 16-17 May for a UNFCCC technical expert meeting on Integrating climate change adaptation with the Sustainable Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, taking place during the Bonn Climate Change Conference.
The two day meeting will allow participants to identify challenges and co…
Objective
The conference will review technical challenges faced by Member States, stakeholder organisations and scientists, while developing the first River Basin Management Plan under the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It will focus on aspects of integration, looking at the way cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary co-operation has developed, and h…
Since the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in Rio 1992, sustainable development has remained elusive for many African countries. Poverty is still a major challenge, as 41% of the Sub-Sahara African population (or roughly 300 million people) were living on one dollar a day or less in 2004.
Most countries on the…
The Conference of the Parties (COP) oversees the implementation of the Convention. It is established by the Convention as the supreme decision-making body, and it comprises all ratifying governments. The first five sessions of the COP were held annually from 1997 to 2001.
Starting 2001 sessions are held on a biennial basis interchanging with the sessio…
This paper examines current policies to combat drought in urban areas in the United States to illuminate lessons learned for building climate adaptive capacity. The authors conducted interviews with practitioners involved in drought management at urban water utilities across the U.S. to understand 1) short- and long-term actions taken in response to dro…
Human-induced climate change poses a major threat to the reliable water supply in many highly populated regions. Here, the authors of this report combine hydrological and climate model simulations to evaluate risks to the water supply under projected shifts in the climate at the Paris Agreement warming levels. Modelling the primary surface water source…
