adaptation strategies
The present paper attempts to provide a picture of Himalayan polyandry on the basis of empirical information gathered through the course of a short filed study. The study was conducted in Tangin, a village in Humla District, north-west Nepal. It assumed the hypothesis that polyandry is an outcome of adaptability in the ecological setting of the Himalaya, and the present environmental...
The effects of global warming will be varied. Many are already being felt and rich nations are taking measures to adapt. Perhaps the first and the worst effects poor people will come about as a result of the rapid melting of mountain glaciers. These effects are highly geo-specific and may be more predictable than other effects of global warming - and are already under way.

Oxfam estime que l’adaptation au changement climatique dans les pays en développement coûtera au moins 50 milliards de dollars par an, et bien plus si les émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre ne sont pas réduites rapidement. Pourtant, les efforts internationaux de financement ont, jusqu’à ce jour, été médiocres....
Oxfam estima que la adaptación al cambio climático en los países en desarrollo costará al menos 50.000 millones de dólares anuales, y mucho más si no se reducen rápidamente las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Sin embargo, los esfuerzos internacionales realizados hasta la fecha para la recaudación de fondos para la adaptaci...
A Oxfam estima que a adaptação às mudanças climáticas nos países em desenvolvimento custará algo em cerca de $50 biliões de dólares por ano, e pode sair ainda mais caro, caso as emissões de gases do efeito estufa não sejam cortadas tão rapidamente quanto necessário. No entanto, os esforços de...
Los desastres climáticos van en aumento a medida que suben las temperaturas y se intensifican las precipitaciones. Uno de los aspectos más preocupantes es la creciente incidencia de los pequeños y medianos desastres. Sin embargo, el clima extremo no es la única causa de los desastres; la pobreza y la falta de poder generan vulnerabilidad. Aunque se necesita m...
Climatic disasters are increasing as temperatures climb and rainfall intensifies. A rise in small- and medium-scale disasters is a particularly worrying trend. Yet even extreme weather need not bring disasters; it is poverty and powerlessness that make people vulnerable. Though more emergency aid is needed, humanitarian response must do more than save lives: it has to link to climate...
Climate change is the number one threat to human development. Yet progress towards limiting global warming to below 2°C has not been sufficient.
The global effort required to reduce emissions and support the poorest and most vulnerable people to adapt to unavoidable changes must be based on objective indicators of countries' historic responsibilities for causing the crisis, and...
A mudança climática é a ameaça número um ao desenvolvimento humano. Porém, os avanços em direção a uma limitação ao aquecimento global inferior a 2°C não têm sido suficientes.
O esforço global necessário para reduzir as emissões e apoiar as pessoas mais pobres e vulner...
Zmiany klimatu sa najpowazniejszym zagrozeniem dla rozwoju ludzkosci. Postepy w dzialaniach na rzecz powstrzymania globalnego ocieplenia ponizej 2°C nie sa jednak jak dotad wystarczajace. Ogólnoswiatowe dzialania niezbedne do ograniczenia emisji oraz wsparcia najbiedniejszych i najbardziej narazonych spolecznosci w przystosowaniu sie do tych zmian klimatu, których juz nie...
