What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

17.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Global Climate Change

24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

390
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

24.2K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Microbes and Climate Change01:27

Microbes and Climate Change

Microorganisms are pivotal agents in Earth's biogeochemical cycles, significantly influencing climate dynamics through their metabolic activities. These microbes modulate the levels of key greenhouse gases by both contributing to and helping mitigate climate change.Microbial Contributions to Greenhouse Gas EmissionsRising global temperatures accelerate microbial metabolism, which, in turn, speeds up the decomposition of organic matter. This process releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) through...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental governance
  • Climate change adaptation
  • Institutional capacity assessment

Background:

  • Evaluating institutional adaptive capacity is crucial for effective climate change governance.
  • Iran's climate change policies require comprehensive assessment of their adaptive capacity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively evaluate Iran's institutional adaptive capacity in climate change governance.
  • To identify strengths and weaknesses using the Adaptive Capacity Wheel (ACW) framework.

Main Methods:

  • Content analysis of national laws and programs (1967-2024).
  • Application of the Adaptive Capacity Wheel (ACW) framework.
  • One-way ANOVA test for statistical validation.

Main Results:

  • Adaptive capacity shows nonlinear and fluctuating trends.
  • Key weaknesses identified in self-critique, double-loop learning, and accountability.
  • Strengths observed in legitimacy, institutional memory, and responsibility.

Conclusions:

  • Significant limitations in resources and learning capacity hinder policy implementation.
  • A paradigm shift towards risk management and stakeholder participation is needed.
  • Strengthening learning and transparency mechanisms is vital for sustainable adaptation.
