They were known to limit destruction to the local areas they infested. However, aided by increasing temperatures, insect pests are finding favourable living conditions in never before places and thus widening their attacking strategy.

This report addresses some of the major questions facing climate change researchers, and how those puzzles are being addressed by NSF-funded activities. Complex computer models are being developed and refined to predict Earth

Embracing cooperation is no simple task for a nation state, not least because of the perceived costs of the erosion of sovereignty, however small that erosion might be.

Climate change has become a major issue in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region. If average temperatures increase as predicted, all aspects of human and natural life will be affected. The mountain regions are particularly vulnerable, both because warming trends are higher and because the impacts are magnified by the extreme changes in altitude over small distances.

This report aims to provide a general framework for the implementation of adaptation in the Mediterranean context, based on a number of important clarifications and accompanied by operational recommendations. In the first part the scientific basis of the study will be set, notably from the works of the IPCC.

This WHO report formulates a series of recommendations on the most important directions for future work in this field, and how this should be integrated with related areas of public health and climate research.
