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

Developing a framework for local climate change adaptation plan (LCCAP): The case of Mandra-Attiki, Greece

(Corresponding) LEKA A., CHARCHOUSI D., Papadopoulou M.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The present work deals with the development of a preliminary climate change (CC) adaptation action plan at local level. The area of interest area is the greater area of Mandra Municipality, Attica, Greece; a suburban area that in November of 2017 had experienced a major flood incident with human...Read more

Microalgae bio-fixation efficiency of carbon dioxide through innovative planar photobioreactor

Costantino V., Carone M., (Corresponding) Riggio V., (Corresponding) Derossi C., Alpe D., Occhipinti A., Zanetti M.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The high anthropogenic activity of recent centuries has led to an urgent need to improve CO2 capture and sequestration technologies. In this context, microalgae systems have gained importance, thanks to their high photosynthetic efficiency and the many applications to which they can be destined...Read more

Assessing small & medium-sized enterprises’ resilience capacity to flooding: Evidence from a structural equation model

(Corresponding) Skouloudis A., Evangelinos K., Vouros P., Nikolaou I., Tsalis t.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

In this study a model that comprises of factors linked to the resilience capacity of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to flooding is tested. A sample of 343 enterprises from flood-prone areas was administered a structured questionnaire on cognitive, managerial and contextual factors that...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

Review of the IPCC landfill gas emissions model

(Corresponding) Hutton B.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Almost all developed nations have agreed to report their annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, under the UN Framework Climate Change Convention of 1997. But only a few directly measure their landfill gas emissions. Most use the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) landfill gas model...Read more

Effect of shade on production and grain yield in greenhouse wheat varieties

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

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The effects of climate change threaten food security by affecting the production and quality of crops that are part of the world's food base, such as wheat. The crop-tree association can act as a tool to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and it is important to analyze the influence of the...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

Monitoring of soil Greenhouse Gases emissions from a controlled burnt area combined with guided herbivory

(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Santiago-Freijanes J., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Álvarez-López V.

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Rural depopulation as well as the intensification of farming systems in southern Europe have led to important changes in landscape and the ecosystem services they provide. Indoors livestock production is translated into a reduction or absence of grazing which ends up with a rapid expansion of...Read more

Topic:

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

Climate change affects temperate areas by increasing the risk of suffering extreme climatic events and sharping major problematics. Moreover, climate change and its related effects jeopardize water and food supply. Rural areas are key for sustainable development and provide socio-economics...Read more
