To analyze the different impacts of climate change and due to the high uncertainty regarding future climate conditions, it is advisable to work with scenarios, which are coherent and consistent descriptions of how the Earth's climate system can change in the future. The goal of this study is to predict the yields of soybean planted in Ferrallitic Red soil in the Alquízar region under the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario of the Hadgem3, Mpi-esm1 and Mri-esm2 models with the use of the AquaCrop simulation model. To select the hydrological years, a study of a series of 28 years (2023-2050) was carried out for the period November-April (crop development period) for each model. The possibility of achieving potential yields between 2,72 and 3,27 t ha-1 and an agronomic water productivity that varies between 0,78-0,91 kg m-3 is evident in soybeans, if the crop is not subjected to any type of limitation except plant genetics, solar radiation, temperature, and rainfall is sufficient in this dry period. The highest average yields were simulated by the HadGEM3 model with 3,27 t ha-1. If irrigation is applied only to guarantee soybean germination, reductions with respect to potential yield are estimated between 14-95%. The comparative study of yields in the SSP2-4.5 climate change scenario in the different models demonstrates the influence of these conditions on the crop response. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the progress of the warnings and agreements of the last 50 years, to address global environmental changes whose trend is towards a planetary disaster. Using environmental health indicators, global changes are recognized as an altered state of the environment and axis both to analyze the driving forces and pressures that have caused it, as well as the effects on public health produced by exposure to such changes, analyzing trends by continent in the last decade. The result obtained is the confirmation that, despite the agreements of 50 years ago, the driving forces and pressures identified as the causes of global environmental changes have not been modified; and with respect to the effects, it is confirmed that those who are contributing the least to these planetary pressures are the most exposed and affected.

Uncertainty is one of the central issues in the current epistemological debate. This paper proposes to approach it within the framework of a triple sociological concretion. First, a thematic concretion: uncertainty in the field of climate change. Second, it focuses on specific actors: experts in the field of climate change. And third, it is based on an empirical sociological observation of qualitative interviews with a significant sample of Spanish climate change experts. Thus, an emic perspective is adopted, paying attention to what the experts say about the meaning, location, and management of uncertainty. Uncertainty has been and continues to be a central topic of reflection in the study of climate change, as shown by the succession of different IPCC reports. Since it is the experts who define, classify, measure, and communicate the uncertainty of climate change to the rest of the citizens, its study must necessarily include the observation of the peculiar relationship with the heterogeneous community of experts. This work aims to make a contribution in this respect. After an account of the importance given to uncertainty in the IPCC reports, it proposes a selective reconstruction of the debate on expertise and uncertainty, presenting some of the results of research on the subject in Spain, to then focus attention on the analysis of the evidence provided by recent qualitative research, and to end with some conclusions that identify the main results obtained.

For the first time the ECtHR is ruling on cases on climate change in which States are accused of climate inaction. The Court modulates its environmental jurisprudence to consider that this inaction may in fact harm the rights protected in articles 2 and 8 and, eventually, 6 of the ECHR. In one of the three resolved cases, it concludes that conventional Article 8 has been violated and regarding the association also the 6, because Switzerland exceeded its national margin of appreciation by not complying with its positive protection obligations that the ECtHR infers by interpreting the ECHR in harmony with the treaties against climate change ratified by Switzerland.

Our objective is to answer the following question: What are the economic and ecological problems arising from the occupation of the Palestinian territory by the State of Israel? Our methodological approach involves a critical reading of the available theoretical and empirical literature and an interpretation of descriptive statistics. The main conclusion is that serious social and environmental conflicts can be resolved using another economic logic (non-violent and non-egoistic). The main finding is that there is a kind of winner's curse, which arbitrarily takes more and more land and, due to its affluence, population growth, and harmful technology, degrades and makes the taken territory unlivable (generating a tragedy of the commons).

Climate change is affected by human activity mainly by producing greenhouse gases (ghg) that alter the atmosphere and increase the average temperature of the planet. In the Andes, an eastern mountain range, with an important altitudinal range, is located the department of Boyacá, the second largest potato producer in Colombia with an area culturally linked to the tuber, which is vulnerable to climate change. Given the above, it is relevant, for potato production, to know the distribution of climate change in the potato zone of Boyacá. In this research, the change in precipitation and temperature in this area during the period 1986-2017 is determined. 37 stations with annual precipitation and temperature series were selected, missing data were reconstructed, multi-year averages and changes in these elements were estimated. The climatic variables and their changes were zoned by spatial interpolation. Spatially differential changes were found in temperature between -1.2 °C and 1.6 °C and precipitation between -40 % to 60 %. It is concluded that there is spatial variability due to climate change in the mumps zone of Boyacá, with an increase and decrease in both precipitation and temperature in about 50 % of the territory.

The verticality is the basis of the great variety of ecoregions that make the Andes one of the most heterogeneous spaces on the planet, with different climates and plant communities. Different agricultural landscapes have been built on these mountains, composed of mosaics of cultivated fields, terraces, irrigation works and settlements. Today they constitute a unique model of sustainable and climate-resilient agriculture. The exceptional value of these landscapes has been recognised by the UN by designating them as Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (giahs). By means of different analysis and research techniques (data analysis, documents, direct observation and interviews), the aim is to characterise these spaces, analyse the threats that compromise them and assess their importance as a model of sustainable agriculture in the face of climate change. The results obtained reveal the uneven effects that are being generated by the initiatives that have been undertaken as a result of their declaration as giahs, or the lack thereof.

Agroecology has become a fundamental approach for the sustainable development of agriculture around the world, and its implementation in Cuba has proven to be an effective strategy to promote food sovereignty and security, environmental conservation and the well-being of people. rural communities. That is why this article addresses this topic, highlighting the benefits of the implementation of an agroecological strategy to face climate change in the Manuel Tames Credit and Services Cooperative. In this, from a mixed approach, quantitative and qualitative methodology is used, employing empirical methods such as: scientific observation, interviews, documentary analysis and field notes; For its part, the techniques for collecting information that were applied were: participant observation; in-depth interview and testimony. Among the main results are greater capacity for water management, soil conservation, crop diversification, as well as increased resilience to climate change of producers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article highlights the Judgment of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights of April 9, 2024 in the case Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz and Others v. Switzerland. In the lawsuit, it was alleged that Switzerland's climate mitigation policies were insufficient, affecting fundamental rights to life and health. The judgment marks a milestone in addressing the impacts of climate change on human rights, establishing guidelines for future climate cases. The importance of effectively protecting citizens from the adverse effects of climate change is emphasized. [Extracted from the article]

In the present study, carbon stocks were quantified in seven agroforestry landscape fragments: (1) heavily logged primary forest, (2) secondary forests of 5, (3) 10, and (4) 15 years originating from pastures, (5) cacao agroforestry, (6) productive Brachiaria decumbens grassland, and (7) degraded Brachiaria decumbens grassland. These fragments are characteristic of agricultural estates in the Ucayali department, Peru. The carbon stored (the total sum of aboveground and soil) in the primary forest was 267.26 t/ha; in 15-year secondary forest, 232.30 t/ha; in 10-year secondary forest, 162.1 t/ha; in 5-year secondary forest, 124.42 t/ha; in cacao agroforestry, 108.82 t/ha; in productive B. decumbens grassland, 72.57 t/ha; and in degraded B. decumbens grassland, 60.47 t/ha. Significant differences (p = 0.0001) were observed between the carbon stock values of the seven fragments (R² = 0.51, and CV = 53.66%). Orthogonal contrast tests showed that the carbon stored in the primary forest fragment significantly exceeded the average carbon of the other fragments, while the carbon stored in the secondary forests significantly exceeded that stored in the cacao agroforestry fragment. No differences were found in the carbon stored in both grasslands, nor between the 10- and 15-year secondary forests. The increase in the number of families and species directly related to the age of the secondary forest provides evidence of the recovery of botanical diversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Environmental responsibility contributes to the consolidation of an environmental culture by fostering the acquisition of skills, habits, and attitudes necessary for effective adaptation to environmental systems, thereby increasing society's resilience to the negative impacts caused by climate change. In this regard, a review was conducted from 2000 to 2022 to analyze research related to the topic of adaptive governance as an alternative for addressing climate change and environmental responsibility. Based on the PRISMA protocol, a search was conducted in international databases, such as Science Direct, Scielo, and Scopus. The selection criteria during the search included: original articles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, master's and doctoral reports, with a publication date up to 2022, as well as legal documents such as the Reports from the United Nations Climate Change Conferences. For this work, 28 materials were selected, considering their contributions to the theoretical foundation of environmental responsibility as an instrument to enhance adaptive governance in the face of climate change. It was concluded that environmental responsibility allows for the efficient development of tasks related to environmental protection, fosters moral self-regulation through the development of self-awareness, and encourages respect for the legal framework established for the care and conservation of the environment.

Climate projections and studies carried out show the Mediterranean basin to be a region highly affected by the effects of global warming. The aim of this work is to find out, through a literature review, what the main effects observed in precipitation, temperatures and extreme phenomena are on the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula, and to what extent the Mediterranean Sea is contributing to this change in climatic conditions. The results have shown that there are certain climatic variables, such as tropical nights and intense precipitation, which in recent decades have been increasing in the study area. The reason is due to several factors, although the continuous increase in the surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea seems to be playing a differentiating role in the "Mediterraneanisation" of this region.

The general objective of this article is to reconstruct agroecological and living experiences in the province of Buenos Aires, based on a survey of primary sources. It also proposes a general approach to the socio-environmental conflicts produced by the industrial agricultural production model, at global and local level, based on a review of specialised secondary sources. The spatial context responds to the detection of agro-ecological production initiatives in the heart of the agro-industrial core zone. These situated experiences of life and production are investigated in one of the main territorial enclaves of the activity, such as the Pampean agroindustry. Based on approaches from environmental history and agrarian social studies, historical, political, productive and socio environmental aspects are analysed in a comprehensive manner, in dialogue with testimonies collected in the Buenos Aires district of Pergamino. Through open and semi-structured indepth interviews with residents and agroecological producers who make up a cooperative dedicated to wheat and rye production and others dedicated to vegetable production, these perceptions and experiences are recovered. The conclusions point out that agroextractivism in Argentina is a major contributor to the socio-environmental crisis and climate vulnerability, while agroecology offers tools to counteract this vulnerability and reconfigure ways of inhabiting and conceiving territories.

The parish of Calderón, located in the Metropolitan District of Quito, has a spatial dynamic characteristic of the expansion processes, with notable population growth, loss of agricultural land, and settlements in vulnerable areas. This research aimed to identify the vulnerability to climate change by analyzing urban growth in this parish to define measures for its climate change adaptation. A three-stage mixed approach methodology was used: the historical and spatial analysis of urban growth, the relationship between urban growth and vulnerability to climate change, and climate change adaptation measures in the parish of Calderón. The thirteen indicators analyzed show a medium-low risk level in their exposure and sensitivity components. However, the opposite is true for the adaptive capacity component, where vulnerability is high. The relationship between the parish’s urban growth and vulnerability to climate change is not direct. On the one hand, the expansion processes affect the territory and the population, causing environmental and social conflicts. On the other hand, factors immersed in urban expansion’s spatial dynamics are revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aims to understand and describe perceptions and actions of rural inhabitants challenged by severe drought and climate change affecting Chile’s central areas. It considers the cases of Santa Julia and Valle Alegre, two rural communities within the coastal city of Quintero. This area is inhabited by family agricultural households impacted by drought conditions in the last decades and close to several polluting industries. The analysis is based on the sense-making theoretical model to explain the problems that affect people’s everyday lives and their attempts to solve them by means of information produced with their own resources, within their communities and with the support of state and private agents. Between November and December 2021, the authors carried out in-depth interviews with 13 informants from both communities. The research findings suggest that severe drought leads to discontinuities both in their productive activities and community and family ties. In their search for solutions, both communities struggle with weak social bonds when attempting to organize collective action. Furthermore, they distrust local companies’ and neighbors’ help. People thus feel insecure about the future and hope that seasonal rains eventually return. In the meantime, they try to adapt and mitigate environmental impacts with the help of some public and international institutions and the application of agricultural innovations.
