The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has published a report of the expert meeting on Detection and Attribution Related to Anthropogenic Climate Change. The meeting, organized jointly by Working Groups I (Physical Science Basis and Impacts) and II (Adaptation and Vulnerability), was held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 14-16 September 2009.

The monographs contained in this volume were prepared at the seventy-first meeting of the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)/ World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), which met at WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, on 16

This report provides an update on the status of investment in clean energy and how the sector has survived the financial crisis.

This report presents the findings of research into the projected impact of climate change on water and sanitation services by 2020 and by 2030. These time horizons are relevant to investment decision-making and have been used in other water-using

The report outlines necessary action to protect health from climate change

Climate change will have a major impact on agricultural production, comparative advantages, and trade flows. A greater divergence between regions in terms of agricultural output is likely.

Early studies on the potential impacts of climate change indicated that agriculture was not likely to be severely affected, as carbon fertilization and trade flows were thought to be able to compensate for any productivity declines related to climate change. Recent work, however, has raised doubts about whether carbon fertilization laboratory test results can be replicated in the field.

This paper points out the challenges in identifying goods used solely for renewable energy generation purposes for computing trade statistics. It also highlights goods for which identification is relatively easier and those sectors which appear to be more trade-intensive than others.
