Skip Navigation ESSP IGBP IHDP ... Publications Global Environmental Change and Food Systems A food-secure future for those most vulnerable to environmental stress. Global Environmental Change and Food Systems (GECAFS) is an international, interdisciplinary research project focussed on understanding the links between food security and global environmental change. The GECAFS Goal is to determine strategies to cope with the impacts of global environmental change on food systems and to assess the environmental and socio-economic consequences of adaptive responses aimed at improving food security. Latest News GECAFS is featured in the latest UNESCO-SCOPE-UNEP Policy Brief - No. 12 entitled Global environmental change and food security . The brief reviews current knowledge, highlight trends and controversies, and is a useful reference for policy planners, decision makers and stakeholders in the community. 14 October 2010: GECAFS is featured in the Financial Times supplement " Food Security " on page 72. Food Security and Global Environmental Change , a book edited by John Ingram, Polly Ericksen and Diana Liverman of GECAFS, has just been published. The book provides a major, accessible synthesis of the current state of knowledge and thinking on the relationships between GEC and food security. Click

Thematic Guides On The Human Dimensions Of Global Environmental Change Provides thematic guides to help researchers, policy makers, educators and the public to quickly access background materials on key global change issues, and to locate key data sets and information resources. http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/tg/

HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Welcome to CIESIN's Thematic Guides on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change. Thematic Guides offer overviews of some of the key topics and issues that pertain to human interactions in the environment and global change. The primary objective of the Thematic Guides is to provide a tool that allows researchers, policy makers, educators, and the public to quickly access background materials on key global change issues, and to locate key data sets and information resources. The guides are also designed to complement data-access tools like the Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) Catalog Search Tool by providing context and background information. Newer guides (released after 2001) provide extensive bibliographies of references and related resources, including online articles, reports, research project summaries and data sets, as well as many print publications. The bibliographies are dynamically linked to sections within the guides and are fully searchable (visit the search page). We provide here as well a collection of archived guides, which provide in-text hyperlinks to hundreds of journal articles, book chapters, government reports, maps and images, and other relevant materials.

CIESIN Thematic Guides POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Welcome to the CIESIN Thematic Guide on Political Institutions and Global Environmental Change. The purpose of this guide is to help you locate key documents and data sets pertaining to the relationship between political institutions and the human dimension of global environmental change. This guide provides only an overview of available information. Political institutions are broadly defined here as those structures human groups develop to make decisions about economic and social activities. The U.S. National Academy of Sciences (Stern, Young, and Druckman 1992) identifies political institutions as one of the principal social driving forces of global environmental change. How societies govern themselves has a direct and profound effect on the natural environment and on societies' response to global environmental change. This guide contains an Overview of Political Institutions and Global Environmental Change that provides background on major issues. In addition, four subsections offer more in-depth surveys of the following topics: Policy Responses to Global Environmental Change Rights and Global Environmental Change Trade Policy and Global Environmental Change International Environmental Agreements

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE INFORMATION SERVICE During the last decade, USGCRP-supported research has increased the world's scientific knowledge of global environmental change. Research supported by the USGCRP is laying the foundation for a viable, fully functioning U.S. Global Environmental Change Information Service supported by a multidisciplinary scientific research community. This service would assist society by providing information on how a changing global environment (i.e., physical, biological, and human systems) affects regions within the United States. For example, in the last five years, USGCRP-supported research has assisted in the production and distribution of rainfall and temperature forecasts on timescales ranging from three to five days up to seasonal and interannual timescales. The challenge for the next decade is to expand global environmental change information to all timescales – days, seasonal, interannual, decadal, centennial, and millennial forecasts – and to include information on climate, ecosystems, carbon, water, and so forth. The U.S. Global Environmental Change Information Service will integrate research, assessment, and prediction activities with the more traditional distribution of scientific information to provide:

Appreciation of this scale and type of influence on human health requires a new perspective which focuses on ecosystems and on the recognition that the foundations of long-term good health in populations rely in great part on the continued stability and functioning of the biosphere's life-supporting systems. It also brings an appreciation of the complexity of the systems upon which we depend. Harmful effects of environmental change and ecosystem impairment on human health. Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (2005) Download high resolution image [jpg 102kb] Protecting health from global environmental change requires management at many levels, from the social and economic drivers of environmental change, to the resulting hazards and exposures for human populations. WHO supports this linkage of environmental and health agendas, for example by providing health expertise into the UN Conventions on Climate Change, Biological Diversity and Desertification, and by advising the health sector on the necessary responses to address the health risks posed by large-scale environmental change.

Specialized Areas of Study › Global Environmental Change Global Environmental Change A number of GGG faculty and graduate students do research on global environmental change, as linked to paleoclimates, contemporary global warming, changes in ocean-atmosphere circulations, air quality, sea-level rise, biological response to climate change, and ecosystem-level impacts on watersheds, estuaries, the nearshore ocean, agriculture and urban areas. The faculty span all four of our areas of specialization in geography (environmental sciences, methods, models and GIS, nature and society, and people, place and region). Courses in Global Environmental Change Concentration prepare students to (1) teach and conduct research in academic programs in geography and the environmental sciences at the university level (2) serve as researchers in public (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, NOAA, UCAR, California Resources Agency, U.S. Geological Survey), private (e.g., environmental consulting organizations, research organizations), and non-governmental organizations (e.g., The Nature Conservancy); and (3) assume leadership positions in agencies engaged in issues of global change at the local, regional, national and international levels.

The Global Change website, a project of the Pacific Institute, is being rebuilt and revamped to provide access to archived content from Global Change Magazine and the Global Change Digest. The Pacific Institute continues to do work on the critical issue of climate change also know as global warming through our Global Change program Continuing our work on water and climate change , the Water and Climate Bibliography provides searchable access to over 3000 scholarly articles on this topic. The Pacific Institute also contributed to the National Assessment: Water Sector Report , which deals with the impacts of climate change on U.S. water resources. We have also recently published a web page on climate change and censorship , which was sparked by Dr. Patrick Michaels' recent attempt to censor remarks by Dr. Peter Gleick.
