This study quantifies the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) using AIM/CGE (Asia-Pacific Integrated Assessment/Computable General Equilibrium). SSP3 (regional rivalry) forms main focus of study, which is supposed to face high challenges both in mitigation and adaptation. The AIM model has been selected as quantify marker scenario, a representative case illustrating particular narrative. Multiple parameter assumptions were differentiated across SSPs for quantification. We confirm that...
Human life comes to a standstill as many countries shut themselves off from the work due novel coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) that hit world severely in first quarter of 2020. All types industries, vehicle movement, and people's activity suddenly halted, perhaps for time modern history. For long time, it has been stated various literature increased industrialization anthropogenic activities last two decades polluted atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere. Since industries have month or...
Abstract. A global water scarcity assessment for the 21st century was conducted under latest socio-economic scenario change studies, namely Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). SSPs depict five situations with substantially different conditions. In accompanying paper, a use compatible developed. This considers not only quantitative factors such as population and electricity production but also qualitative ones degree of technological overall environmental consciousness. this availability...
Abstract More than half of the world’s population currently live in urban areas and are particularly at risk from combined effects heat island phenomenon increases due to climate change. Here, by using remotely sensed surface temperature data social-ecological indicators, focusing on hot dry season, applying framework Intergovernmental Panel Climate Change, we assessed current health 139 Philippine cities, which account for about 40% country’s total population. The cities high or very found...
While Southeast Asia's forests play important roles in biodiversity conservation and global carbon (C) balance, the region is also a deforestation hotspot. Here, we consider five shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) to portray range of plausible futures for region's forests, employing state-of-the-art land change modelling procedure remotely sensed data. We find that by 2050 under worst-case scenario, SSP 3 (regional rivalry/a rocky road), would shrink 5.2 million ha. The aboveground forest...
Abstract. A novel global water scarcity assessment for the 21st century is presented in a two-part paper. In this first paper, use scenarios are latest hydrological models. The compatible with socio-economic of Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), which part set on change developed by integrated assessment, IAV (climate impact, adaptation, and vulnerability assessment), climate modeling community. SSPs depict five situations based substantially different conditions during century. Water...
We previously developed a model for projection of heat-related mortality attributable to climate change. The objective this paper is improve the fit and precision examine robustness model. obtained daily data number deaths maximum temperature from respective governmental organizations Japan, Korea, Taiwan, USA, European countries. For future projection, we used Bergen 2 (BCM2) general circulation model, Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) A1B socioeconomic scenario, 65+-year-old age...
Abstract Myanmar is one of the mangrove‐richest countries in world, providing valuable ecosystem services to people. However, due deforestation driven primarily by agricultural expansion, Myanmar's mangrove forest cover has declined dramatically over past few decades, while what remains still under pressure. To support management planning, accurate quantification changes on a national scale needed. In this study, we quantified between 2000 and 2014 using remotely sensed data, examined...
We performed an intercomparison of river discharge regulated by dams under four meteorological forcings among five global hydrological models for a historical period simulation. This is the first multimodel study on dam-regulated flow. Although simulations were conducted globally, Missouri–Mississippi and Green–Colorado Rivers chosen as case-study sites in this study. The incorporate generic schemes dam operation, not specific to certain dam. examined longitudinal section channels...
Abstract Limiting the magnitude of climate change via stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation is necessary to prevent further biodiversity loss. However, some strategies mitigate GHG emission involve greater land-based efforts, which may cause loss from land-use changes. Here we estimate how and efforts interact with global by using an integrated assessment model framework project potential habitat for five major taxonomic groups. We find that can generally bring a net benefit even if...
BACKGROUND:The health effects of heat are well documented; however, limited information is available regarding the risks hot nights.Hot nights have become more common, increasing at a faster rate than days, making it urgent to understand characteristics night risk.OBJECTIVES: We estimated on cause-and location-specific mortality in nationwide assessment over 43 y (1973-2015) using unified analytical framework 47 prefectures Japan.METHODS: Hot were defined as days with a) minimum temperature...
The future increase of large-scale weather disasters resulting from the increased frequency extreme events caused by climate change is a matter concern. Predicting flood damage through statistical analysis requires accurate modeling relationship between historical precipitation and damage. An that considers as time series may be appropriate for this purpose. Functional data was applied to model daily river basins in Kanto Koshin regions Japan. Flood statistics national government 1-km grid...
Under the Paris Agreement, parties set and implement their own emissions targets as nationally determined contributions (NDCs) to tackle climate change. International carbon trading is expected reduce global mitigation costs. Here, we show benefit of under both NDCs a more ambitious reduction scenario consistent with 2 °C goal. The results that welfare loss, which was measured based on estimated household consumption change in 2030, decreased by 75% (from 0.47% 0.16%), consequence achieving...
By introducing two scalar quantities, namely, the Gini and Lorenz asymmetry coefficients, we examined their characteristics applicability to global analysis of changes in river flow regimes under future climate change. First, by applying these coefficients discharge data, showed that various types flow-duration curves can be interpreted quantitatively terms seasonal inequality (i.e., unevenness temporal distribution discharge). Their statistical characteristics, based on five theoretical...
