TL;DR: In 1990, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect and concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects.

Abstract: In 1990 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) completed its report on the greenhouse effect. The IPCC had been set up under the auspices of the World Meteorological Organisation and the United Nations Environment Programme, to examine how climate and sea level might change, what might be the impact of these changes and what could be the most appropriate response to them. IPCC Working Groups tackled each of these three tasks. Working Group II (Impacts) concluded that greenhouse gas-induced changes of climate would have an important effect on agriculture, with the most severe negative impacts probably occurring in regions of high present-day vulnerability that are least able to adjust technologically to such effects. 1 The purpose of this book is to consider, in more detail than could be covered within the confines of the IPCC report on agriculture, the reasoning behind this conclusion, its implications for global food security and the most appropriate courses of action.

Recent Trends in Linking the Natural Environment and the Economy
Carl Folke,Tomas Kåberger +1 more
- 01 Jan 1991
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on some of the recent trends in linking the natural environment and the economy which have evolved, particularly in the interface of ecological and economic sciences, and relate this concept to a discussion on sustainability, based on recent attempts to define and clarify what is a sustainable society.

Research on the human components of global change: Next steps
TL;DR: The authors summarizes what has taken place in planning for research on the human components of global environmental change and assesses the readiness of the social science community to undertake large-scale research in this field.
Climate variability in agriculture and crop water requirement: Spatial analysis of Italian provinces
TL;DR: In this article, a model where crop water requirement is the dependent variable and some climate variables are the covariates is estimated by using geographically weighted regression to consider different spatial characteristics of the regions, and local regression results are integrated to develop two composite indicators able to highlight critical areas in terms of water requirement and to support local policies and practices.

TL;DR: In this article, models from atmospheric science, plant science, and agricultural economics are linked to explore the sensitivity of agricultural productivity to global climate change, and the simulation suggests that irrigated acreage will expand and regional patterns of U.S. agriculture will shift.
