Climate capacity: the measurement for adaptation to climate change

open access: yesChinese Journal of Population Resources and Environment, 2015
This article proposed the concept of “climate capacity” as a way of measuring human’s adaptiveness to climate change. This article also focused on the related concepts like ecological carrying capacity, water resources carrying capacity, land carrying capacity as well as population carrying capacity.

Adaptation to climate change in Bangladesh [PDF]

open access: yesClimate Policy, 2016
Climate change is expected to disproportionately affect agriculture in Bangladesh; however, there is limited information on smallholder farmers’ overall vulnerability and adaptation needs. This article estimates the impact of climatic shocks on the household agricultural income and, subsequently, on farmers’ adaptation strategies.

Enhancing Low‐Temperature Performance of Sodium‐Ion Batteries via Anion‐Solvent Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DOL is introduced into electrolytes as a co‐solvent, increasing slat solubility, ion conductivity, and the de‐solvent process, and forming an anion‐rich solvent shell due to its high interaction with anion. With the above virtues, the batteries using this electrolyte exhibit excellent cycling stability at low temperatures. Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries

The effects of afforestation as an adaptation option: a case study in the upper Chao Phraya River basin

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
The risks of flood and drought have been projected to increase in many regions due to global warming. Afforestation is considered an adaptation option because it reduces flood risks by decreasing total runoff and peak river discharge, but it also ...

Launching criteria of ‘Heatstroke Alert’ in Japan according to regionality and age group

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Communications, 2023
To reduce heatstroke cases, the Japanese government launched ‘Heatstroke Alert’ in 2020. In this initiative, an alert is issued when the daily maximum wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) is expected to reach or exceed 33 °C.

Different perceptions of adaptation to climate change: a mental model approach applied to the evidence from expert interviews [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We argue that differences in the perception and governance of adaptation to climate change and extreme weather events are related to sets of beliefs and concepts through which people understand the environment and which are used to solve the problems ...

Covalent Organic Frameworks for Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction: Metal Integration Principles, Strategies and Functions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with metals have been recognized as versatile platforms for photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2PRR). Herein, an overview of metal integration strategies for COFs is systematically summarized. Regulatory mechanisms and structure–activity relationships between metal integration and COF‐based CO2PRR are emphasized.

National perspectives on climate change adaptation: A panel discussion of climate change adaptation efforts in diverse coastal regions of the United States [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Climate change has rapidly emerged as a significant threat to coastal areas around the world. While uncertainty regarding distribution, intensity, and timescale inhibits our ability to accurately forecast potential impacts, it is widely accepted that ...

Adapting agriculture to climate change [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
The strong trends in climate change already evident, the likelihood of further changes occurring, and the increasing scale of potential climate impacts give urgency to addressing agricultural adaptation more coherently. There are many potential adaptation options available for marginal change of existing agricultural systems, often variations of ...
