Climate change is one of the most challenging problems that humanity has ever faced. With the rapid development in technology, a key feature of 5G networks is the increased level of connectivity between everyday objects, facilitated by faster internet speeds with smart facilities indicative of the forthcoming 5G-driven revolution in Internet of Things (IoT). This study revisited the benefits of 5G network technologies to enhance the efficiency of the smart city and minimize climate change impacts in Singapore, thus creating a clean environment for healthy living. Results revealed that the smart management of energy, wastes, water resources, agricultures, risk factors, and the economy adopted in Singapore can remarkably contribute to reducing climate change, thus attaining the sustainability goals. Hence, future studies on cost-effective design and implementation are essential to increase the focus on the smart city concept globally.

Address Climate Change

The marine fisheries sector is one of the most important income sectors in South Africa and plays an important role in food security for small-scale and subsistence fishers. Climate-driven impacts have resulted in distribution shifts and declines in abundance of important fisheries targets, with negative consequences to the users dependent on these resources. The sustainability of the sector depends on its readiness to adapt to climate change. The inclusion of climate change impacts and adaptation in fisheries management documents in South Africa is essential to ensure adequate climate adaptation responses are implemented at the short- and long-term. This study aims to 1) determine if the relevant fisheries national management documents address climate change and adaptation, 2) determine if the relevant national climate change documents address climate change and adaptation in the fisheries sector and 3) evaluate the extent to which fisheries management documents address climate change and adaptation. A content analysis of fisheries management and climate change documents was carried out to determine if they incorporated information on climate change impacts and adaptation and marine fisheries respectively. Fisheries management documents were then screened against nine pre-determined criteria (or themes) based on climate change adaptation to determine the level of inclusion of best practice for climate change adaptation. Results indicate that climate change impacts and adaptation are rarely incorporated in the main fisheries management documents, except for the Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Plan for the agriculture, fisheries and forestry sectors. However, this document is still waiting to be adopted. The only direct reference identified in all the fisheries documents that supports climate change adaptation was ‘conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity’. With regards to indirect references to climate change adaptation, ‘equity,’ ‘participatory management,’ and ‘capacity building’ were most frequently incorporated in fisheries management documents. There is a need to explicitly incorporate information on climate change impacts and adaptation in South African fisheries management documents and increase the human and financial capacity at national institutions to ensure that the fisheries sector can adequately adapt to climate change.

Adaptation Options

Viticulture and winemaking are important socioeconomic sectors in many European regions. Climate plays a vital role in the terroir of a given wine region, as it strongly controls canopy microclimate, vine growth, vine physiology, yield, and berry composition, which together determine wine attributes and typicity. New challenges are, however, predicted to arise from climate change, as grapevine cultivation is deeply dependent on weather and climate conditions. Changes in viticultural suitability over the last decades, for viticulture in general or the use of specific varieties, have already been reported for many wine regions. Despite spatially heterogeneous impacts, climate change is anticipated to exacerbate these recent trends on suitability for wine production. These shifts may reshape the geographical distribution of wine regions, while wine typicity may also be threatened in most cases. Changing climates will thereby urge for the implementation of timely, suitable, and cost-effective adaptation strategies, which should also be thoroughly planned and tuned to local conditions for an effective risk reduction. Although the potential of the different adaptation options is not yet fully investigated, deserving further research activities, their adoption will be of utmost relevance to maintain the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of the highly valued viticulture and winemaking sector in Europe.

The Impact

AbstrakPerubahan iklim telah menjadi permasalahan global yang memberikan dampak pasti dan tidak terelakan lagi di tingkat regional maupun internasional. Meningginya permukaan air laut, mencairnya es di kutub, sampai kerugian ekonomi di wilayah Pasifik sebagaimana dilansir oleh Asian Development Bank di tahun 2013. Meningkatnya pemanasan global dan produksi gas rumah kaca memberikan ancaman tersendiri untuk pembangunan berkelanjutan. Adanya komitmen warga dunia dalam menjalin kerja sama guna menekan produksi gas rumah kaca dan menanggulangi dampak perubahan iklim dapat dilihat dari beberapa instrumen internasional terkait hal tersebut yang secara bertahap telah dihasilkan dan diemplementasikan. Adanya kerja sama dari negara-negara maju sebagai penyumbang gas emisi terbanyak dengan negara-negara berkembang seharusnya mampu menghasilkan kolaborasi yang cukup baik dalam upaya penanganan dampak perubahan iklim. Indonesia, dalam hal ini sesuai dengan prinsip common but differentiated responsibilities turut serta dalam upaya penanganan perubahan iklim dengan ratifikasi perjanjian internasional, implementasi melalui satuan petugas khusus di bidang perubahan iklim, dan penegakan hukum dalam upaya melestarikan lingkungan. AbstractClimate change has become a global problem and has certain and uninevitable impacts globally or internationally. Sea level rising, ice melting in the pole or even economic damages in Pacific region released by 2013 Asian Development Bank. Increasing of global warming and greenhouse gasses production provide a separate threat to sustainable development. The commitment of the worldwide community to cooperate in order to reduce the production of greenhouse gasses and mitigate the impact of climate change could be seen from several international instruments related to it has gradually produced and implemented. The cooperation of the developed countries as the largest contributor to the emissions and developing countries should be able to produce a pretty good collaboration in efforts to address climate change impacts. Indonesia, in this case in accordance with the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities to participate in efforts to address climate change with the ratification of international treaties, the implementation through a special unit of officers in the field of climate change, and law enforcement in an effort to preserve the environment.
