Projected climate change impacts on mean and year-to-year variability of yield of key smallholder crops in Sub-Saharan Africa
Open AccessBenjamin Stuch, Joseph Alcamo et al.ARTICLEClimate and Development2021
This study investigates the impacts of climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa on yields of maize and cereals (sorghum and millet) which are of particular importance to smallholding farmers. An ensemble of six climate scenarios are input to a crop model to compute changes in food availability (mean annual yield) and food stability (standard deviation and coefficient of variation) between the periods 1971–2000 and 2041-2070. Our results show a partic…

Water scarcity assessments in the past, present, and future
Open AccessJunguo Liu, Hong Yang et al.ARTICLEEarth's Future2017
Water scarcity has become a major constraint to socio‐economic development and a threat to livelihood in increasing parts of the world. Since the late 1980s, water scarcity research has attracted much political and public attention. We here review a variety of indicators that have been developed to capture different characteristics of water scarcity. Population, water availability, and water use are the key elements of these indicators. Most of t…

Zero emission targets as long-term global goals for climate protection
Open AccessJoeri Rogelj, Michiel Schaeffer et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2015
Recently, assessments have robustly linked stabilization of global-mean temperature rise to the necessity of limiting the total amount of emitted carbon-dioxide (CO2). Halting global warming thus requires virtually zero annual CO2 emissions at some point. Policymakers have now incorporated this concept in the negotiating text for a new global climate agreement, but confusion remains about concepts like carbon neutrality, climate neutrality, full …

Indirect land-use changes can overcome carbon savings from biofuels in Brazil
Open AccessDavid M Lapola, Ruediger Schaldach et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2010
The planned expansion of biofuel plantations in Brazil could potentially cause both direct and indirect land-use changes (e.g., biofuel plantations replace rangelands, which replace forests). In this study, we use a spatially explicit model to project land-use changes caused by that expansion in 2020, assuming that ethanol (biodiesel) production increases by 35 (4) x 10 9 liter in the 2003-2020 period. Our simulations show that direct land-use ch…

A grand challenge for freshwater research
Open AccessJoseph Alcamo, Joseph M Alcamo et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2008
Although the existence of a global hydrologic cycle has long been recognized, researchers are only now uncovering a vastly wider web of connectivities that binds together the flow of water on a global scale. The connectivities are physical (e.g. upstream storages of water cause large scale changes in the residence time of surface water), economic (e.g. water is embedded in food and other products and traded internationally), and even institutiona…
Future long-term changes in global water resources driven by socio-economic and climatic changes
Joseph Alcamo, Martina Flörke et al.ARTICLEHydrological Sciences Journal2007
A global water model is used to analyse the impacts of climate change and socio-economic driving forces (derived from the A2 and B2 scenarios of IPCC) on future global water stress. This work extends previous global water research by analysing not only the impact of climate change and population, but also the effects of income, electricity production, water-use efficiency and other driving forces, on water stress. Depending on the scenario and cl…
