 The article analyzes the current state of climatology in Ukraine, the problems and prospects for its development. It is shown that although Ukraine the signed the Paris Agreement and this fact is very important for the development of modern climatology, Ukraine's state policy on climate change has a fragmented character and is currently considered exclusively as a component of environmental policy. The lack of systems approach to the problem of climate change makes it impossible to make management decisions on actions for climate change adaptation and mitigation at the scale of whole economy of Ukraine. At the same time, the new tasks, which are due to the expediency of ratification by Ukraine of the Paris Agreement and the further implementation of its provisions, require the development of a coherent and consistent state policy on climate change. The main scientific directions of the development of climate services in Ukraine are presented in accordance with the Global Framework for Climate Services. The main tasks for each element of climate services – a platform for interaction with users, an information system for climate services, observing and monitoring systems, capacity development – are outlined for Ukraine, problems are indicated and prospective directions of development are proposed.

Abstract Coastal ecosystems are linked to socio-economic development, but simultaneously, are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change and sea level rise (SLR). Within this scope, detailed topographic data resources of Spercheios River and Maliakos Gulf coastal area in Greece, combined with information concerning the economic value of the most important sectors of the area (wetland services, land property, infrastructure, income) were employed, so as to examine the impacts of three SLR scenarios, compiled based on the most recent regional projections reviewed. Based on the results, in the case of 0.3 m, 0.6 m and 1.0 m SLR, the terrestrial zone to be lost was estimated to be 6.2 km2, 18.9 km2 and 31.1 km2, respectively. For each scenario examined, wetlands comprise 68%, 41% and 39% of the total area lost, respectively, reflecting their sensitivity to even small SLR. The total economic impact of SLR was estimated to be 75.4 × 106 €, 161.7 × 106 € and 510.7 × 106 € for each scenario, respectively (3.5%, 7.5% and 23.7% of the gross domestic product of the area), 19%, 17% and 8% of which can be attributed to wetland loss. The consequences of SLR to the ecosystem services provided are indisputable, while adaptation and mitigation planning is required.

This chapter introduces the role of development as a self-interested policy pursued by industrialized states in an increasingly connected world. As such, it is differentiated from traditional geopolitical accounts of interactions between industrialized and developing states as well as from assertions that the increased focus on development stems from altruistic motivations. The concept of targeted development—pursuing development abroad when and where it serves the interests of the policymaking states—is introduced and defined. The issue areas covered in the book—foreign aid, trade agreements between industrialized and developing countries, and finance for climate change adaptation and mitigation—are introduced. The preference for bilateral, rather than multilateral, action is discussed.

<p>Rural areas of the Mediterranean watersheds face great environmental challenges, where climate change impacts the water cycle, the soil, and biodiversity, which are often priority issues for adaptation. These, have been aggravated by historical land management practices trends. In this context, we propose Nature Based Solutions (NBS) in the form of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) actions at the watershed scale to achieve climate change adaptation and mitigation while promoting other ecosystem services.</p><p>SLM actions are local adaptation practices that promote sustainable rural development. Thus, we seek the combination of several actions to achieve regional (watershed scale) more integrated approaches. With this study, we aim at proving that NBS, and thus SLM, is a successful tool for alleviating climate change impacts (i.e. water scarcity, enhanced erosion, biodiversity decline) while promoting the role of land in mitigation and enhancing biodiversity in the rural Mediterranean areas.</p><p>For this, we propose a novel conceptualization of SLM actions that moves from their local application and evaluation to the regional more systemic approaches through their combination. Results show synergies in the atmosphere, biosphere, and hydrosphere, allow for the upscaling of SLM through systemic approaches and point at direct contributions to several Sustainable Development Goals.</p>

Climate change poses serious challenges to achieving food security in a time of a need to produce more food to keep up with the worlds increasing demand for food. There is an urgent need to speed up the development of new high yielding varieties with traits of adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Mathematical approaches, including ML approaches, have been used to search for such traits, leading to unprecedented results as some of the traits, including heat traits that have been long sought-for, have been found within a short period of time.

Adaptasi dan Mitigasi Perubahan Iklim Berbasis Pemberdayaan Masyarakat..Kabupaten Bengkalis, salah satu daerah yang paling terkena dampak perubahan iklim. KecamatanBantan, abrasi Pantai Kabupaten Bengkalis yang semakin parah setiap tahun hampir 30 cmkehilangan luas lahan. Ini merupakan ancaman bagi ekosistem pantai, kondisi hutan bakau disepanjang pantai telah rusak. Kerusakan mangrove disebabkan oleh eksploitasi dan eksplorasioleh perusahaan dan masyarakat sekitar untuk kepentingan ekonomi. Menanggapi hal ini,pemerintah (pusat dan daerah) menciptakan Program Desa Iklim (ProKlim) untuk mendorongpartisipasi aktif masyarakat dan semua pihak dalam melakukan tindakan lokal untuk meningkatkanketahanan terhadap dampak perubahan iklim dan mengurangi gas emisi rumah kaca (GRK).Kegiatan di ProKlim adalah adaptasi dan mitigasi perubahan iklim. Penelitian ini dilakukandengan pendekatan kualitatif. Subjek penelitian berasal dari masyarakat di Kecamatan Bantandan institusi terkait. Teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dandokumentasi. Data dianalisis dengan teknik analisis interaktif. Hasil penelitian ini menemukanbahwa masyarakat di Kecamatan Bantan telah menyadari bahwa daerah tersebut mengalami abrasiparah akibat kerusakan ekosistem mangrove dan dampak gelombang laut dari Selat Malaka, dimana masyarakat, dunia usaha dan pemerintah daerah memiliki adaptasi dan mitigasi dalam bentukmemberdayakan masyarakat yang tinggal di pantai untuk melakukan konservasi bakau, pemanfaatan bakau non-kayu, dan membuat kawasan wisata
