This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change poses many challenges that affect society and the natural world. With these challenges, however, come opportunities to respond. By taking steps to adapt to and mitigate climate change, the risks to society and the impacts of continued climate change can be lessened. The National Climate Assessment, coordinated by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, is a mandated report intended to inform response decisions. Required to be developed every four years, these reports provide the most comprehensive and up-to-date evaluation of climate change impacts available for the United States, making them a unique and important climate change document. The draft Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4) report reviewed here addresses a wide range of topics of high importance to the United States and society more broadly, extending from human health and community well-being, to the built environment, to businesses and economies, to ecosystems and natural resources. This report evaluates the draft NCA4 to determine if it meets the requirements of the federal mandate, whether it provides accurate information grounded in the scientific literature, and whether it effectively communicates climate science, impacts, and responses for general audiences including the public, decision makers, and other stakeholders.

Book Synopsis Quantification and qualification of the environmental impacts of milk processing in The Republic of Armenia using Life Cycle Assessment methodology with particular focus on product- and process-related quality attributes by : Sonika Aminforoughi
Download or read book Quantification and qualification of the environmental impacts of milk processing in The Republic of Armenia using Life Cycle Assessment methodology with particular focus on product- and process-related quality attributes written by Sonika Aminforoughi and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (ELCA) is a young, but, increasingly a well-known technique, to assess the environmental impacts associated with products. In this dissertation thesis, a product-/process-related ELCA for a typical Armenian dairy factory has been performed. Here, the environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing processes of selected dairy products have been investigated. The production of raw milk at the supplier dairy farm and the disposal of the solid waste and waste water incurred during production and processing have been considered as well. Due to the multi-functional nature of dairy factories, an allocation procedure according to the calorific value of each product under assessment has been conducted. In order to execute the ELCA, the software SimaPro has been used. As the methodology for Life Cycle Impact Assessment, the ReCiPe Midpoint method has been applied. Inventory, characterization, normalization, contribution, and sensitivity analyses have been carried out accordingly. The results of these analyses have determined the significant impact categories by each analyzed product and the products with the greatest environmental impacts. Furthermore, the “hotspots” of the processes have been determined. Ökologische Lebenszyklusanalyse (Ökobilanz) ist eine junge, jedoch inzwischen eine gut bekannte Methode zur Untersuchung der Umweltauswirkungen der Produkte. Im Rahmen dieser Dissertation wurde eine produkt-/prozessbezogene Lebenszyklusanalyse für eine typische armenische Molkerei durchgeführt. Hierbei wurden die Umweltauswirkungen der Herstellungsprozesse ausgewählter Molkereiprodukte untersucht. Die Rohmilchproduktion in der Lieferfarm und die Entsorgung der anfallenden Produktionsabfälle und –abwässer wurden gleichfalls betrachtet. Wegen der multifunktionalen Natur der Molkereien wurde ein Allokationsverfahren basierend auf dem Brennwert jedes untersuchten Produktes durchgeführt. Um die ökologische Lebenszyklusanalyse durchzuführen, wurde die Software SimaPro verwendet. Die Methode ReCiPe Midpoint wurde als Methode der Wirkungsabschätzung verwendet. Dementsprechend wurden Inventory-, Wirkungsabschätzungs-, Normalisierungs-, Beitrags- und Sensitivitätsanalysen durchgeführt. Ergebnisse dieser Analysen haben die signifikanten Umweltkategorien bei jedem untersuchten Produkt und die Produkte mit den höchsten Umweltauswirkungen identifiziert. Darüber hinaus wurden die „Hotspots“ der Prozesse festgestellt.

Book Synopsis The US National Climate Assessment by : Katharine Jacobs
Download or read book The US National Climate Assessment written by Katharine Jacobs and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers valuable climate policy and climate assessment lessons, depicting what it takes to build a sustained climate assessment process. It explores the third U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA3) report as compared with previous US national climate assessments, from both a process and content perspective. The U.S. Global Change Research Program is required by law to produce a National Climate Assessment report every four years, and these reports provide a comprehensive evaluation of climate science as well as observed and projected climate impacts on a variety of sectors. As the book describes, a key contribution of the NCA3 approach is a far more deliberate interdisciplinary process, as well as an engagement strategy that brought hundreds of public and private sector stakeholders into the assessment community. Among its most important conceptual contributions was an explicit focus on building the infrastructure to conduct better assessments over time and an experimental approach to analysis of the impacts of climate on cross-sectoral systems and inter-locking and cascading effects across sectors. Readers may explore innovations such as the development of regional climatologies and projections for every region of the US, as well as the development of the Global Change Information System. The book also highlights the need for decision-makers to be part of the assessment process, in order for assessment findings to be truly useful from a decision-maker's perspective. Many lessons have been learned by the NCA3 authors that can be useful in future assessments and adaptation processes, both within the US and internationally. This book passes on such lessons and includes an evaluation of the role of state climate assessments in ongoing national assessment processes.

Book Synopsis Lyster's International Wildlife Law by : Michael Bowman
Download or read book Lyster's International Wildlife Law written by Michael Bowman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-23 with total page 783 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of international wildlife law has been one of the most significant exercises in international law-making during the last fifty years. This second edition of Lyster's International Wildlife Law coincides with both the UN Year of Biological Diversity and the twenty-fifth anniversary of Simon Lyster's first edition. The risk of wildlife depletion and species extinction has become even greater since the 1980s. This new edition provides a clear and authoritative analysis of the key treaties which regulate the conservation of wildlife and habitat protection, and of the mechanisms available to make them work. The original text has also been significantly expanded to include analysis of the philosophical and welfare considerations underpinning wildlife protection, the cross-cutting themes of wildlife and trade, and the impact of climate change and other anthropogenic interferences with species and habitat. Lyster's International Wildlife Law is an indispensable reference work for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers alike.
