Water saving potentials and possible trade-offs for future food and energy supply
The sufficient supply of food and energy requires large amounts of fresh water. Mainly required for irrigation, but also processing and cooling purposes, water is one of the essential resources in both sectors. Rising global population numbers and economic development could likely cause an increase in natural resource demand over the coming decades, while at the same time climate change might lead to lower overall water availability. The result c…
Education as a Determinant of Response to Cyclone Warnings
Sharma, U., A. Patwardhan, and A. G. Patt. 2013. Education as a determinant of response to cyclone warnings: evidence from coastal zones in India. Ecology and Society 18(2): 18. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-05439-180218
Effects of Educational Attainment on Climate Risk Vulnerability
In the context of still uncertain specific effects of climate change in specific locations, this paper examines whether education significantly increases coping capacity with regard to particular climatic changes, and whether it improves the resilience of people to climate risks in general. Our hypothesis is that investment in universal primary and secondary education around the world is the most effective strategy for preparing to cope with the …
Effective regional energy governance—not global environmental governance—is what we need right now for climate change
Mechanisms for enhancing the credibility of an adviser
We tested the effectiveness of prepayment for advice and aligned incentives as mechanisms for enhancing trust in unfamiliar advisers in decision‐making under uncertainty. Participants were low‐income Zimbabweans who played two rounds of the Monty Hall three‐door game. In round 1, participants who purchased advice were significantly more likely to follow advice for how to win the game than were participants who received free advice. In round 2, th…
Countering the Loading-Dock Approach to Linking Science and Decision Making
This article provides a comparative institutional analysis between El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasting systems in the Pacific and southern Africa with a focus on how scientific information is connected to the decision-making process. With billions of dollars in infrastructure and private property and human health and well-being at risk during ENSO events, forecasting systems have begun to be embraced by managers and firms at multiple …
Complexity and Ecosystem Management
Adapting to Climate Change
Adapting to climate change is a critical problem facing humanity. This involves reconsidering our lifestyles, and is linked to our actions as individuals, societies and governments. This book presents top science and social science research on whether the world can adapt to climate change. Written by experts, both academics and practitioners, it examines the risks to ecosystems, demonstrating how values, culture and the constraining forces of gov…
