Livestock Greenhouse Gases emissions and its contribution to Climate Change. The case study of a Cyprus cow farm

LOIZIA P., (Corresponding) VOUKKALI I., ZORPAS A.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Human population is expected to increase from 7.8 to 9.4 billion by 2050. At the same time the demand for agricultural products will increase by about 50-70%. As a result, there is a growing awareness that rapid growth in global production and consumption of livestock products is contributing to...Read more

Integrating Seaport Infrastructure Monitoring Approaches to Improve Smartness and Climate Adaptive Capacity

(Corresponding) Tsaimou C., Chalastani V., Sartampakos P., Tsoukala V.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Seaport infrastructure monitoring promotes the development of an effective management system that ensures functionality, structural capacity and safety. Monitoring approaches are considered to be a useful tool in an attempt to deal with growing global trends, such as seaport “smartness”, or with...Read more

Stakeholder Mapping & Analysis for Climate Change Adaptation in Greece

(Corresponding) Nydrioti I., Katsiardi P., Chioti D., Sebos I., Assimacopoulos D.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Stakeholder mapping and analysis is essential in Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects to assess and identify the needs of stakeholders (SHs). For the mapping of actors involved in adaptation planning and implementation in Greece, a multi-criteria analysis is followed. The SHs involved in CCA...Read more

Development of an urban resilience indicator for Athens in the context of climate change

(Corresponding) Polydoros A., Mavrakou T., Cartalis C.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Urbanization interacts with climate change through the way cities are organized and built (land cover/ land use, urban morphology). Increased energy consumption and consequently CO2 emissions, combined with emissions from city functions (urban metabolism, anthropogenic heat sources) intensify urban...Read more

Dairy farms management and carbon storage in the soil fractions

(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Miranda M., Mosquera-Losada M.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The dairy sector is one of the main economic activities in the Spanish region of Galicia, located in the northwest of the country. In dairy farms, the type of farm management has a clear effect on climate change mitigation by modifying crucial processes such as carbon storage in the soil. This...Read more

Effect of the forage maize-pasture rotation on the soil carbon storage in Galicia (NW Spain)

(Corresponding) Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Mosquera-Losada M.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Galicia is a region in NW Spain with high economic dependence on dairy cattle where livestock feeding is mainly based on the production of forage maize. In this region, one of the major challenges for the forage maize production systems is to maximize the economic return while minimizing...Read more

Climate Change and Local Governance: Politics, Policies and Prioritization of Adaptation in Adansi North District

(Corresponding) Enu K., Ahenkan A., Ackom E.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Climate adaptation remains low on political agendas at the local level in most developing countries despite the reality of impacts being experienced already and a projection of the worsening of same. While the factors that account for the lack of climate action by local governments are countless,...Read more

Climate Adaptation and Local Institutions: An Assessment of The Adaptive Capacities of Key Sectors In Adansi North District

(Corresponding) Enu K., Ahenkan A., Ackom E., Odame Appiah D.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The over-domineering of political policies aimed at perpetuating power means issues of social interest such as climate adaptation capabilities are often relegated to the background. Thus, the success of adaptation efforts often hinges ultimately on the nature of institutional robustness and...Read more

Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.

Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more

Effects of light stress on wheat and rye varieties grain composition

Franco-Grandas T., Álvarez-López V., (Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Integrating woody perennials and agricultural crops combined is a centuries-old practice, nowadays called agroforestry. Because agroforestry is being promoted by public administrations, it is essential to obtain scientific knowledge about the effect of different factors (e.g. tree shade) on crop...Read more
