LISTING IDEAS FOR FUTURE VIDEOS IN NORTH AMERICA:

1-IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE – CONTEXT :

• Warming in western mountains is projected to decrease snowpack, increase winter flooding, and reduce summer flows, exacerbating competition for over-allocated water resources.

• Disturbances from pests, diseases, and fire are projected to increasingly affect forests, with extended periods of high fire risk and large increases in area burned.

• Moderate climate change in the early decades of the century is projected to increase aggregate yields of rain-fed agriculture by 5-20%, but with important variability among regions. Crops that are near the warm end of their suitable range or that depend on highly utilized water resources will likely face major challenges.

• Increases in the number, intensity, and duration of heat waves during the course of the century are projected to further challenge cities that currently experience heat waves, with potential for adverse health impacts. Older populations are most at risk.

• Climate change will likely increasingly stress coastal communities and habitats, worsening the existing stresses of development and pollution.

Let’s try to finetune these topics to the level of individual countries and make a list of subjects to be featured. Your ideas are welcome, please get in touch.

2-ACTIONS AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE – ADAPTATION AND MITIGATION:

Climate change adaptation is a response, that seeks to reduce the vulnerability of social and biological systems to relatively sudden change and thus offset the effects of global warming.

Examples of mitigation include reducing energy demand by increasing energy efficiency, phasing out fossil fuels by switching to low-carbon energy sources, and removing carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere, for example, through improved building insulation. Another approach to climate change mitigation is climate engineering.
