Lay Perspectives

As a part of an international study cordinated by Dr. Willett Kempton and myself, this paper discusses the results of a survey of the Austrian public's attitudes to, and pereptions of, global climate change. Issues that emerged as important in the study are: 1) people's inability to disassociate the greenhouse effect from the ozone hole, 2) the belief that climate change is already occurring, 3) the potential role of various methods available to combat global climate change, and 4) the lay public's environmental values. These issues are identified from twenty person to person interviews which took place in Vienna during June and July of 1991 2 .

Wetlands (WLs) in the landscapes are important for the GHGs production, ingesting, and exchange with the atmosphere. In this chapter, the authors illustrated how the WLs influence climate change, even though it is typical for determining the climatic role of WLs in the broader perspective. The conclusions might be wary based on the radiative balance as the radiative forcing since the 1750s or climatic roles are continuously changing in the wetlands. Degradation of WLs leads to reducing their functioning, and GHG fluxes might change and alter the climatic roles of the WLs. The chapter demonstrated that WL disturbances might cause global warming for a longer duration even though the WLs are restored or managed by replacing them with the mitigation WLs. Thus, activities that cause disturbance in the WLs leading to carbon oxidation in the soils should be avoided. Regulating the climate is an ecosystem service in the WLs; during the planning of the WLs, protection, restoration, and creation, environmental management should be considered.

Abstract Higgason, K. D., and Brown, M. 2009. Local solutions to manage the effects of global climate change on a marine ecosystem: a process guide for marine resource managers. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 66: 1640–1646. The marine environment plays an important role in controlling the amount of CO2 that remains within the earth’s atmosphere, but it has not received as much attention as the terrestrial environment regarding climate-change effects, mitigation programmes, and action plans. Potential physical effects of climate change within the marine environment, including ocean acidification, changes in winds that drive upwelling and ocean circulation patterns, increasing global sea surface temperatures, and sea level rise, can result in dramatic changes within marine and coastal ecosystems. Often, marine resource managers feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of this issue and are therefore uncertain how to begin to take action. It may seem that they do not have the time, funding, or staff to take on a challenge as large as climate change, and fail to act as a result. Using NOAA’s Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary as a case study, this paper outlines the need to act now and presents an easy-to-use process guide, providing managers options to incorporate effectively the influences of climate change into management strategies, as well as mitigate these influences through community outreach and a reduction in workplace emissions.

Law And Policy

The negligible levels of energy-related GHG emissions attributable to the Southern African sub-region translates into the sub-region contributing relatively little towards global climate change. Notwithstanding, the member states comprising the Southern African Development Community (SADC) are among the most vulnerable to the trans boundary effects of global climate change. Existing SADC climate change policy documents highlight the important role of the energy sector in climate change mitigation. Furthermore, various international, African Union and SADC legal instruments stress the crucial role of harmonised law and policy as climate change adaptive measure. It is the central hypothesis of this paper that harmonised sub-regional law and policy aimed at regulating SADC member states’ mitigation efforts in the energy sector is a crucial climate change adaptive strategy. This hypothesis is based on the mandates for the formulation of a SADC climate change action plan and for mitigation in the energy sector. These mandates are contained in the texts of the SADC-CNGO Climate Change Agenda, 2012 and the Southern Africa Sub - Regional Framework on Climate Change, 2010 respectively. It is the main aim of this paper to investigate recent developments in the formulation of harmonised SADC law and policy on climate change in general and law and policy pertaining to mitigation in the energy sector specifically. In achieving the stated aim, themes to be investigated by means of a literature study are those of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions and global climate change and harmonised sub-regional policy on mitigation in the energy sector as adaptive measure in the SADC.
