Biological corridors have conventionally been seen as a means of countering habitat fragmentation and facilitating species movements between protected areas. The NGO, Corporaci

This report provides a scenario of climate change, adaptation options and vulnerability in Nepal. In its fourth assessment report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) depicts the Hindukush-Himalaya, including Nepal, as a

Developing countries such as Zambia are considered highly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, since a large part of their economy is dependent on climate sensitive sectors (namely those dependent on natural resources) and their adaptive capacity is often limited by weak human and financial resources and by low institutional and technological capability.

This new short film highlights plight of the Maldives, one of the world's most vulnerable countries to sea level rise. Produced by TVEAP in collaboration with COM+ Alliance of Communicators for Sustainable Development, it is based on an exclusive interview with President Nasheed of Maldives.

The purpose of the publication is to provide biodiversity-relevant information to the UNFCCC. Main messages focus on: the impacts of climate change on biodiversity; the role of biodiversity in climate change adaptation; the links between biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and climate change mitigation; and ways and means to value biodiversity with regard to climate change responses.

Agriculture both affects and is affected by climate change. No other sector is more climate-sensitive. Agricultural and food production in developing countries will be adversely affected by climate change, especially in countries that are already climate-vulnerable (drought, flood and cyclone prone), and that have low incomes and high incidence of hunger and poverty.

With its highest point a mere two metres above sea level, global warming is an imminent concern for the Maldives. As the conversation on climate change heats up prior to the December conference in Copenhagen, President Mohamed Nasheed spoke to Kunda Dixit about his plans.

From the Himalaya to Male, there are clear signs that climate change is real.

India's government plans to confront climate change with a "national mission." But how much action does this mission really include.

The impacts of climate change are likely to affect population distribution and mobility. While alarmist predictions of massive flows of refugees are not supported by past experiences of responses to droughts and extreme weather events, predictions for future migration flows are tentative at best.
