Abstract

Lors de leur Réunion à haut niveau de 2020, les membres du Comité d'aide au développement (CAD) de l'OCDE ont énoncé un certain nombre d'engagements et d'aspirations concernant l'alignement de la coopération pour le développement sur les objectifs de lutte contre le changement climatique et de protection de l'environnement fixés dans des accords internationaux. Un an plus tard, ce rapport rend compte des mesures individuelles et collectives prises pour donner une suite concrète aux quatre engagements volontaires formulés dans le Communiqué de la Réunion à haut niveau.

Abstract

Rising global temperatures, more frequent extreme events, and erratic climate patterns are reshaping cities and livelihoods around the world and increasingly exposing large shares of the global population to unprecedented risks. The Sixth Assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) warns that global warming is expected to reach or exceed 1.5°C on average over the next 20 years, and possibly by the early 2030s, ten years ahead of previous projections. Many ecosystems will shortly reach tipping points resulting in irreversible damage and increasing socio-economic costs.

Abstract

The Way Things Go contains a mix of poetry, art writing, and life writing about anticipatory grief, or mourning someone or something before it's gone. Each successive chapter in the book decreases in length by exactly one sentence, from a 71-sentence-long opening chapter, to a 70-sentence-long second chapter, to 69 sentences, 68 sentences, and so on down to 1 (a book-length Oulipian "melting snowball"). This shrinking form enacts the book's concerns with loss, climate change, and the passage of time. At the level of its content, however, The Way Things Go is not fatalistic. Its title comes from a cult classic 1987 Fischli and Weiss film, in which objects such as bags of trash, car tires, and oil drums knock into one another in a Rube Goldberg-esque chain reaction. Moving through both personal history (his sister's lupus and heroin addiction, his grandmother's experience as a Holocaust survivor) and more global concerns (the Sixth Mass Extinction, COVID-19, the war in Ukraine), Bury considers the disruptions that occur as "things go," as well as the continuity that remains. The book suggests that recent negotiations between optimism and pessimism with respect to the future reflect people's feelings of vulnerability, particularly people who are used to taking their life's stability for granted, in a world that seems increasingly precarious.

Abstract

Annotation Climate change affects global and regional water cycling, as well as surficial and subsurface water availability. These changes have increased the vulnerabilities of ecosystems and of human society. Understanding how climate change has affected water resource variability in the past and how climate change is leading to rapid changes in contemporary systems is of critical importance for sustainable development in different parts of the world. This Special Issue focuses on "Water Resource Variability and Climate Change" and aims to present a collection of articles addressing various aspects of water resource variability as well as how such variabilities are affected by changing climates. Potential topics include the reconstruction of historic moisture fluctuations, based on various proxies (such as tree rings, sediment cores, and landform features), the empirical monitoring of water variability based on field survey and remote sensing techniques, and the projection of future water cycling using numerical model simulations.

Abstract

The volume contains the proceedings of the KOMEEO (Knowledge Organization and Management in the domain of Environment and Earth Observation) international conference, organized in the field of the European ERA-PLANET (The European Network for observing our changing Planet) H2020 program. Papers present research projects and experiences related to different aspects of organizing knowledge in the environmental domain, which nowadays is receiving great attention from the European Union. In particular, they address topics related to Knowledge Organization Systems (KOSs), to their application in specific contexts, to the extraction of metadata, to the achievement of semantic interoperability. With contributions by Richard Absalom, Prof. Stefano Allegrezza, Dr. Giovanna Aracri, Armando Bartucci, Dr. Assunta Caruso, Prof. Eugenio Casario, Dr. Maria Teresa Chiaravalloti, Sergio Cinnirella, Martin Critelli, Sabina Di Franco, Prof. Antonietta Folino, Dr. Claudia Lanza, Francesca M.C. Messiniti, Prof. Alexander Murzaku, Dr. Anna Perri, Dr. Erika Pasceri, Paolo Plini, Prof. Anna Rovella and Rosamaria Salvatori.

Abstract

This series is designed to make available to a wider readership selected papers on climate change issues that have been prepared for the OECD/IEA Climate Change Expert Group (CCXG). The CCXG (formerly called the Annex I Expert Group) is a group of government delegates from OECD and other industrialised countries. The aim of the group is to promote dialogue and enhance understanding on technical issues in the international climate change negotiations. CCXG papers are developed in consultation with experts from a wide range of developed and developing countries, including those participating in CCXG Global Forums. The full papers are generally available only in English. The opinions expressed in these papers are the sole responsibility of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the OECD, the IEA or their member countries, or the endorsement of any approach described therein.
