The CO$ sb2$T$ sp circ$ environment had a significant effect on most biomass components of seedlings and water-use efficiency but not on height and other growth variables. The nitrogen fertilization was generally the most significant effect of the treatments for most growth variables.
All the families responded in a similar way to variations in the growing environments except for WUE. Family differences were more important for measurements of height and growth variables than for biomass components. The architecture of seedlings was also highly variable between families. Norm of reaction graphs were built for several growth variables to outline which families were overall most successful in an enriched CO$ sb2$T$ sp circ$ environment. Of the 15 families studied, four of them were classified as most successful in a projected high CO$ sb2$T$ sp circ$ climate.

Climate change is quickly becoming an important global concern with considerable and varied long-term consequences. In order to lessen the effects of this phenomenon it is necessary to institute regulatory policies that control carbon dioxide emissions, since they have been shown to directly correlate with temperature changes. Despite the prevalence of climate change initiatives, both internationally and within the United States, there is no comprehensive national policy with respect to the issue. The public and political conditions in the United States are presently ideal for the institution of a federal climate change policy, the most effective of which involves the incorporation of multiple emissions reductions measures

Comte, Adrien. „Coral reefs ecosystem services under global environmental change : interdisciplinary approaches to guide science and action“. Thesis, Brest, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018BRES0002/document.
Global environmental change (GEC) in the ocean threatens marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them. A growing scientific effort is attempting to evaluate the impacts of environmental changes on ecosystems and ecosystem services and guide policy-making to respond to this global issue. Focusing on social-ecological systems of coral reefs, this thesis critically reviews the approaches put forward in the literature to understand gaps and to design new methodologies, assessments, and indicators to guide science and policy. Our findings show that a regionally targeted strategy of research should address complexity and provide more realistic projections about the impacts of GEC on coral reefs ecosystems and ecosystem services. We map global-scale indicators to understand where human dependence on coral reef ecosystems will be affected by globally-driven threats expected in a high-CO2 world. We then analyze how science is responding to the challenge posed by GEC on coral reefs and to identify gaps in research.Finally, we attempt to operationalize an overlooked component of vulnerability assessments, ecological adaptive capacity, to serve as a tool to help assess where local actions can be effective in the context of climate change. This manuscript contributes to theoretical and methodological advances to evaluate impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to GEC. It develops interdisciplinary approaches for the study of social-ecological systems and ecosystem services, targeting coral reefs as a case study. Finally, it synthesizes critically the emergence of a scientific field on solutions to GEC for coral reef social-ecological systems

Rasetti, Michele. „Global economic and environmental consequences of the European biofuels policy“. Doctoral thesis, Università Politecnica delle Marche, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/11566/243026.
For many years, biofuels have been considered a cleaner, greener alternative to fossil fuels in order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. For this reason, in recent years, many European policies has tried to promote biofuels production and consumption. However, some concerns on the actual sustainability of biofuels have arisen. In particular, scientific studies have pointed out that additional emissions from indirect land-use change (iLUC) could cancel out biofuels benefits on climate change. Fueled by these concerns, the objective of this dissertation is to forecast the global economic and environmental consequences of an increase in European biodiesel consumption from 2001 to 2020 levels, applying the parameters established by the EU RE Directive and verify if the sustainability criteria imposed by the RED itself will be satisfied. For this purpose, I used the GTAP-BIO general equilibrium model, a model capable of analyzing the linkages between biofuels, agriculture, international trade, and the environmental consequences in terms of land-use change and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. The results of the simulation confirm the already strong concerns on the sustainability of first generation biofuels brought to light by other scientific studies. The demand of biodiesel in Europe after the implementation of the RED targets is so high that the EU needs to import heavily biodiesel feedstock from other regions and this is one of the causes which entails a welfare loss. Additionally, the increase in biodiesel consumption in the European Union entails a diversion of intermediates products and factor endowments from other sectors, in particular for those sectors that compete for land. The decrease in supply for food and feed crops (which are substituted by fuel crops) drives their prices (and the relative output prices i.e. food/feed) to go up. The conflict between food and biofuel sectors is also the driving force for the indirect land use change (iLUC), which is a market-mediated effect, since the price increase creates incentives to convert areas formerly not used for food production (i.e. forests and pasture) into agricultural land. We estimate that most cropland conversion arises within Europe, mainly at the expense of forests. Looking at the GHG emissions triggered by these land use changes, the results suggest a total emission of 168 gCO2/MJ per year over 20 years of biodiesel production, which would mean that the GHG reduction requirements established by the policies could not be fulfilled.

The Breede River catchment in the South Western Cape is already under pressure for its water resources due to its supporting a variety of different land uses. The predominant land use in this catchment is agriculture, which demands the majority of river water for irrigation. The Department of Water Affairs and Forestry are currently investigating the future demand for water from the river, in this respect it is important to know what effect climate change will have on the change in river flow. Self Organising Maps (SOMs) are used to identify changes in the circulation systems contributing to the rainfall of the region and from this the potential change is assessed for the Breede River flow under future climate change. It is assessed that the runoff in the Breede River is expected to change under all the models of ECHAM4, CSIRO and HadAM. The magnitude of this alteration is calculated by using the change in the SOM node frequencies between the present and the future data. This is then subtracted from the present runoff data supplied by DWAF. A source of runoff decrease in the future is agricultural irrigation. The increase in irrigation under climate change is determined by inserting future climate data into an agricultural model. Once the increased amount of water used in irrigation is determined, it is subtracted from the projected future runoff. From this it is determined whether the river will be ecologically sustainable under climate change.
Young, Shona Linda. „Effects of global climate change on the recruitment of Anchovy in the Southern Benguela upwelling system“. Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2001. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9749.
Changes to global climate patterns, as predicted by many climatologists, will impact on ecosystems in numerous ways. The nutrient-rich waters of marine upwelling environments enable prolific plankton growth, which in turn supports vast shoals of pelagic fish. The nutrient supply is dependent on the strength and direction of winds, which govern the upwelling process as well as turbulence. A change in climate may thus affect the food supply and feeding conditions required by pelagic fish populations. This thesis investigates predicted changes in wind patterns in the southern Benguela system and assesses how these changes may impact on the recruitment of the Cape anchovy, Engraulis capensis. A general circulation model (NCAR Climate System Model) is used to compare a future simulation under double C02 conditions with a simulation of the present day wind regime. Climate change effects on anchovy in the other main upwelling systems, off the coasts of California, Peru and Morocco are also examined. Wind speeds and turbulence off the Agulhas Bank in the southern Benguela system are expected to remain suitable and potentially become even more conducive to spawning in the future. The results show similar mean wind speeds to present day values, a decrease in mean turbulence, a decrease in the frequency of extreme wind speeds and a decrease in the frequency of extreme turbulence during the anchovy spawning season (i.e. September-February). An increase in Lasker events is expected at the Eastern Bank Grid Cell, which suggests that this area may become the preferred spawning habitat in the future. The Cape Town Grid Cell also shows suitable conditions in the future simulation for anchovy spawning and may thus become an alternative spawning location. The West Coast shows an increase in alongshore wind stress and thus an increase in upwelling in the future simulation from November - February. This is likely to increase planktonic food availability and ultimately anchovy recruitment. Future simulations from the Climate System Model show that the upwelling systems off the coasts of California, Peru and Morocco are likely to continue supporting anchovy spawning and may become even more suitable in terms of wind and turbulence regimes.

Meque, Arlindo Oliva. „Investigating the link between southern African droughts and global atmospheric teleconnections using regional climate models“. Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16686.
Drought is one of the natural hazards that threaten the economy of many nations, especially in Southern Africa, where many socio-economic activities depend on rain-fed agriculture. This study evaluates the capability of Regional Climate Models (RCMs) in simulating the Southern African droughts. It uses the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI, computed using rainfall and temperature data) to identify 3-month droughts over Southern Africa, and compares the observed and simulated drought patterns. The observation data are from the Climate Research Unit (CRU), while the simulation data are from 10 RCMs (ARPEGE, CCLM, HIRHAM, RACMO, REMO, PRECIS, RegCM3, RCA, WRF, and CRCM) that participated in the Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) project. The study also categorizes drought patterns over Southern Africa, examines the persistence and transition of these patterns, and investigates the roles of atmospheric teleconnections on the drought patterns. The results show that the drought patterns can occur in any season, but they have preference for seasons. Some droughts patterns may persist up to three seasons, while others are transient. Only about 20% of the droughts patterns are induced solely by El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), other drought patterns are caused by complex interactions among the atmospheric teleconnections. The study also reveals that the Southern Africa drought pattern is generally shifting from a wet condition to a dry condition, and that the shifting can only be captured with a drought monitoring index that accounts for temperature influence on drought. Only few CORDEX RCMs simulate the Southern African droughts as observed. In this regard, the ARPEGE model shows the best simulation. The best performance may be because the stretching capability of ARPEGE helps the model to eliminate boundary condition problems, which are present in other RCMs. In ARPEGE simulations, the stretching capability would allow a better interaction between large and small scale features, and may lead to a better representation of the rain producing systems in Southern Africa. The results of the study may be applied to improve monitoring and prediction of regionally-extensive drought over Southern Africa, and to reduce the socio-economic impacts of drought in the region.

This thesis explores the relationship between the commercial insurance industry, global environmental change (GEC) and what Beck (1992; 1999) termed the 'risk society'. In recent decades, there have been growing concerns that many of the risks impacting contemporary society have undergone fundamental changes. Many of these risks are increasingly being linked to the unintended consequences of humankind's remarkable progress in science and technology, and have been described as debounded, given that they so often transcend both geographical and temporal boundaries (Beck 1992). Within the risk society, the commercial insurance industry - which relies on statistical (actuarial) analysis to help it assess and manage its risk exposure - has been described as demarcating the frontier barrier between bounded (i.e. insurable) and debounded (i.e. uninsurable) risk. However, this claim has been a highly contested one, leading to calls for more empirical data to help clarify how commercial insurance is actually responding under conditions of uncertainty. Of all the debounded risks, GEC has emerged as one of the risk society's most recognisable. Now understood to be a result of the anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gasses, particularly since the onset of the industrial revolution, its impacts have risen so sharply in recent decades that it has prompted claims that Earth has moved away from the era of the Holocene and into the Anthropocene (Crutzen 2002). Given that at least 40% of the cost of environmental catastrophes is now borne by commercial insurance, GEC provides an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of how the industry is responding to debounded risk at the risk society's frontier barrier. Early commentators suggested that the commercial insurance industry would be well motivated to respond proactively to GEC, by taking a more mitigative approach to managing its drivers at both the global and local levels. However, the industry, so far, has been described as more adaptive of its own business activities than mitigative. This raises questions about whether such claims are true across all three of the insurance industry's activities - as risk carriers, risk managers and as investors, why they have responded in such ways, and what implications this has for broadening our understanding of the complex relationship between commercial insurance, debounded risk and the risk society's frontier barrier. To consider these questions, a collective case study was undertaken with a variety of commercial insurance companies, re-insurers, asset managers, clients, brokers, industry associations and regulators across South Africa, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Belgium. The research identified how commercial insurers have indeed responded more by adaptation of their business activities than mitigation of the drivers of GEC. This is mainly through the use of defensive underwriting to help them manage their exposure. However, the research extends this analysis by highlighting some of the nuances of the industry's response. This includes its focus on centralisation, the influence of the existing paradigm framing its understanding of risk, and by highlighting the irony that the area of insurers' activities, initially believed to be most suited for responding to GEC (i.e. their investment portfolios), have, in practice, been the area recording the least response. In exploring why this is so, the study draws on understandings of the Anthropocene to argue that commercial insurers are finding their existing risk assessment tools progressively out-dated in a world where risk is no longer as predictable as it once was. This is further compounded by increasingly plural access to the risk society's science and technologies, which, in some instances, are undermining the role commercial insurance plays as society's primary financial risk manager. This raises questions around the role commercial insurance plays in demarcating the risk society's frontier barrier which, ultimately, has far broader implications for why so many of society's institutions are struggling to adapt to risk in the 21st Century.

Miljömedvetenheten och arbetet med att spara på våra resurser tar allt mer fart runt om isamhället. Uttryck som återvinning, energismarta lösningar, förnyelsebar elproduktion ochhållbar avfallshantering får alltmer uppmärksamhet. Detta är högst välmotiverat då vårtnuvarande konsumtionssamhälle inte skulle finnas kvar länge till då vi förbrukar allt mernaturtillgångar, produkter och energi på daglig basis. Aldrig förr har väl uttrycket ingen kangöra allt men alla kan göra något känts så aktuellt som nu. Självklart gäller detta hushåll ochprivatpersoner men framför allt företag och större organisationer vilka ofta spenderar ochförbrukar väldiga resurser. Dessutom är det oftast de som både har pengar och makt attverkligen påverka utgången av konsumerandet.Något annat som blir allt vanligare bland företagens arbetsmetoder är att bedriva sinverksamhet i projektform. I vissa fall har själva företagsidén blivit att man nischat sig helt tillatt skapa och leda projekt åt andra företag, så kallade managementkonsulter.Detta visar alltså flera åtskiljda växande intressen på frammarsch, men bedrivs de utan någrasamband? Företagens befintliga miljöarbete består mestadels i att sätta upp mål vilkaförhoppningsvis kan leda till någon form av certifiering eller intyg på att en viss nivå haruppnåtts. Dessa miljömål har ofta bristfälliga uppföljningar samtidigt som det finns en uppsjöav olika rapporteringsmodeller och certifieringar vilket försvårar kontinuerlig uppdatering avaktuell status inom området.Denna uppsats är gjord på uppdrag av företaget CGI Sweden vilket i vår uppstartsfas hetteLogica. I och med namn- och ägarbytet är de numer ett av världens största IT-konsultbolagmed många stora kunder över hela världen. De har identifierat ett behov av att på projektbasiskunna genomföra kontinuerliga uppföljningar av miljörapportering vilket skulle underlätta förföretag att uppnå sina hållbarhetsvisioner. CGI Sweden miljörapporterar enligt GRI-standardvilket vi haft som utgångspunkt när arbetet startades. Uppsatsens huvudfokus behandlarpotentiella vägar att gå när företag skall genomföra kultur- och organisationsförändringarsamt börja med sitt miljöarbete på projektnivå. Tankar som genomsyrar studien är hurorganisations- och kulturförändringar sker inom företag, om och i så fall hur företag beaktarmiljöarbete inom projektledningen idag, hur stort intresset är att integrera hållbarhet i sinprojektledning, hur man med hjälp av GRI kan utveckla en potentiell framtida metod och vaddetta skulle innebära.En stor del av uppsatsens empiriska material är insamlat från ett flertal intervjuer med insattaprojektledare, chefer och miljöansvariga från företagsvärlden för att få en så tydlig bild sommöjligt av rådande situation och branschernas framtida syn på våra tankar.Utifrån en sammanställning och analys av intervjuerna, GRI-rapporteringar samt teorier omhur förändringsarbete går till har flertalet rekommendationer i form av förslag och tänktalösningar till problemet framkommit och presenteras i resultatet. Detta mynnar ut i slutsatservilka belyser några konkreta steg som är applicerbara. Vi har genom detta arbete även kommitfram till flera tänkvärda förslag till vidare studier.
