Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Effects Climate of Italy This small volume contains the substance of a short course of lectures, written during the leisure of an involuntary holiday, delivered a few weeks since in the theatre of St. Mary's Hospital, and reported in the 'Lancet.' I rejoice in the opportunity which publication affords of thus again acknowledging my debt of gratitude for the sweet influences of Italian skies, by revising the whole and making it somewhat easier reading. To this end I have broken up the lectures and re-arranged them into subjects, filling up gaps with a little fresh matter.

Download or read book Economic Impacts of Climate Change in Italy and the Mediterranean written by Marzio Galeotti and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study presents new estimates of economic impacts of climate change for Italy and other countries, obtained with a full-fledged Integrated Assessment Model (ENVISAGE), developed at the World Bank. This model is qualitatively superior to other models used in the past for the same purpose. It is found out that climate change is expected to reduce the Italian GDP in 2050, with respect to a reference baseline, by -0.31%. This figure is about two times higher than previous estimates. Declining tourism demand is the main driver of negative effects on GDP, as Italy would become less attractive as a tourist destination. By the end of the century, however, Italy would also experience severe losses in agricultural production, due to increased temperature and reduced water availability. Even if Italy will notably be affected by climate change, in the absence of any mitigation or adaptation effort, other countries in the Mediterranean will experience larger economic impacts. This is the case of Spain and Middle East - North Africa.

Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of Italy written by Mauro Soldati and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the most striking landscapes and landforms of Italy. Attention is given to landform diversity and landscape evolution through time which has been controlled by very diverse geological conditions and dramatic climate changes that have characterized the Italian peninsula and islands since the end of the last glaciation. In addition, various examples of human impact on the landscape are presented. Landscapes and Landforms of Italy contains more than thirty case studies of a multitude of Italian geographical landmarks. The topics and sites described in this book range from the Alpine glaciers to the Etna and Vesuvius volcanoes, taking into account the most representative fluvial, coastal, gravity-induced, karst and structural landscapes of the country. Chapters on the geomorphological landmarks of the cities of Rome and Venice are also included. The book provides the readers with the opportunity to explore the variety of Italian landscapes and landforms through informative texts illustrated with several color maps and photos. This book will be relevant to scientists, scholars and any readers interested in geology, physical geography, geomorphology, landscape tourism, geoheritage and environmental protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, the economic value of the impacts of climate change is assessed for different Italian economic sectors and regions. Sectoral and regional impacts are then aggregated to provide a macroeconomic estimate of variations in GDP induced by climate change in the next decades. Autonomous adaptation induced by changes in relative prices and in stocks of natural and economic resources is fully taken into account. The model also considers international trade effects. Results show that in Italy aggregate GDP losses induced by climate change are likely to be small. However, some economic sectors (e.g. tourism) and the alpine regions will suffer significant economic damages.

Download or read book Overview of Key Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerabilities and Adaptation Action in Italy written by Silvia Medri and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents an extensive desk review of the available knowledge on climate change impacts and vulnerability in Italy and illustrates the state of the art of the adaptation policy and practice in the country, including early information on costs of impacts and costs of adapting to climate change. It aims at providing complete and accessible facts on the Italian approach to face climate change, which helps to frame the existing national adaptation efforts in the European and international arena. Section 1 introduces the expected climate change challenges relevant for the sectors of key national socio-economic and environmental interest in Italy. Section 2 illustrates the range of sectoral adaptation initiatives including legal frameworks and practical measures that have been already implemented in Italy despite the lack of a National Adaptation Strategy. In addition, the paper offers an Executive Summary, a series of Annexes providing supplementary information as well as a glossary of basic terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change is leading to variations in weather patterns and an apparent increase in extreme weather events, including heat-waves. Recent heat-waves in the WHO European Region have led to a rise in related mortality but the adverse health effects of hot weather and heat-waves are largely preventable. This guidance results from the EuroHEAT project on improving public health responses to extreme weather/heatwaves, co-funded by WHO and the European Commission. It explains the importance of the development of heat-health action plans, their characteristics and core elements, with examples from several European countries that have begun their implementation and evaluation.

Download or read book Economic Evaluation of Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation in Italy written by Alessandra Goria and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper deals with the social and economic dimensions of climate change impacts and adaptation in Italy. The ultimate aim of the paper is to provide policy makers and experts with a conceptual framework, as well as methodological and operational tools for dealing with climate change impacts and adaptation from an economic perspective. In order to do so, first a conceptual and theoretical framework of the economic assessment of climate change impacts is presented and the state of the art about impact assessment studies is briefly analysed. Then, the Italian case is taken into account, by underlying the main impacts and adaptation challenges that are likely to be implied by climate change in the next decades. The analysis of the Italian case is particularly addressed through the description of the methodology and results of two case studies. The first one, dealing mainly with impact assessment, is carried out at the national level and is part of a EC funded project on Weather Impacts on Natural, Social and Economic Systems (WISE). The second one is carried out at the local level and focuses on sea level rise impacts and adaptation in a plane south of Rome. The two case studies allow to propose simple and flexible methodologies for the economic impact assessment and the economic valuation of adaptation strategies.
