Semarang is one of many cities which has high vulnerability, damage, and high risk affected by climate change. This study was aimed to determine securing, protecting of Semarang coastal area, especially in Tugu and Genuk Sub-district. Literature review was carried out to seek the proper seawall design and material which feasible to be built in coastal area of Tugu and Genuk Sub-district. Field observation was conducted to determine location characteristic to build seawall in Tugu and Genuk Sub-district. The study revealed that many area of Semarang coast was damage as impact of coastal building, the loss of natural protection as well as effect of global warming. The existing seawall was varied but mostly in damage condition. Therefore it is recommend to build seawall in Karanganyar and Tugurejo Village (in Tugu subdistrict) to support the eco-edutourism in Semarang City as well as ini Trimulyo Village (Genuk Subdistrict) to established sediment enrichment ready for mangroves replant.Keywords : securing, protection, coastal, SemarangSemarang merupakan salah satu kota yang memiliki tingkat kerentanan, bahaya dan resiko tinggi akibat dampak perubahan iklim. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan kajian pengamanan dan perlindungan pantai di wilayah pesisir Kecamatan Tugu dan Genuk, Kota Semarang. Kajian dilakukan ini melalui review literatur dan observasi lapangan. Kajian literatur dilakukan terhadap desain alat penahan ombak (APO) yang memungkinkan dibangun di wilayah pesisir Kecamatan Genuk dan Tugu serta untuk mendapatkan informasi tentang bahan atau material yang dapat digunakan untuk membangun APO. Observasi lapangan dilakukan untuk mengetahui karakteristik lokasi yang akan dibangun APO dan ketersediaan material sesuai desain yang telah direkomendasikan. Hasil kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan pantai yang terjadi di Kota Semarang cukup banyak yang diindikasikan sebagai dampak dari bangunan-bangunan yang menjorok ke laut, hilangnya perlindungan alam pantai dan juga merupakan efek dari pemanasan global. Kondisi APO dan breakwater saat ini sangat beragam, namun pada umumnya sudah rusak sehingga mengurangi fungsinya sebagai alat perlindungan pantai. Untuk itu disarankan dibangunnya alat penahan ombak di Kelurahan Karanganyar dan Tugurejo (Kecamatan Tugu) untuk mendukung program eco-eduwisata Kota Semarang dan Kelurahan Trimulyo (kecamatan Genuk) untuk sediment enrichment yang nantinya lokasi siap ditanami mangrove.Kata kunci : pengamanan, perlindungan, pantai, Semarang

The coastal area of Bangladesh is topographically susceptible to disaster where and climate change addresses a new depressing effect to coastal agriculture. The main objective of the present study was to explore the impacts of climate changes on agriculture and changing adaptive strategies in the coastal district of Lakshmipur in Bangladesh. Primary data were collected through field observation survey, questionnaire survey and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). To conduct the questionnaire survey, around 120 respondents have been selected randomly from the coastal areas of Ramgati and Kamal Nagar upazilla under Lakshmipur district. The whole survey was conducted during monsoon and winter seasons in the month of March 2014 to February 2015. The present study was carried out through primary and secondary sources of data collection. Field observation survey, questionnaire survey and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) (during March, 2014 to February, 2015) were accomplished for collecting primary data. The questionnaires contained structured and close ended questions to collect the information through face to face interview from the respondents. Secondary data were collected from Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD). Collected data were processed and analyzed by the help of Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS: version-16) and map of study area were prepared by Arc GIS 9.1 software. The results revealed that about 87.5% of respondents have experienced climate change and its impact on their agriculture gradually from 40 years. They also perceived increase in temperature, drought, flood, cyclone and salinity intrusion, rain less winter season, long summer season, unpredictable rainfall, and changing the monsoon respectively. About 96.6 % respondents perceived decrease in rainfall. Results also revealed that about 53% of respondents experienced severe intensity of major climate change induced disasters. Furthermore, 9% respondents experienced little bit severity. Agricultural crops cultivation is changing from previous time due to the climate changing events and decreasing crop production due to their damaging effects. Almost 40% of respondents in the study area were not familiar with coping strategy in response to climate change. They tried to adjust and cope with cultivation of short duration crops, introducing new variety and making embankment.To minimize the effects of climate change short duration crops, new variety and making embankment for crop cultivation need to adopt in study area.

The 2019 Pulse of the fashion industry report discovers that the series of sustainability progress in the industry of fashion has slowed by third in the previous year and not moving fast to counter balance the misdeed impact of rapid growth in the fashion industry. Fashion industry will be the net contributor for the climate change, increasing the obstacles which that promising of keeping global warming below one and half degrees Celsius during the reminding years will be not achieved if this circumstance of the fashion industry continue in the future, as long as fashion industry ranks the first place out of environment polluting industries. The state of the environmental pollution caused by the fashion industry has no recover but rising day by day. [1] This systematic literature review identified four main themes related to circular economy, sustainable consumption, and second-hand fashion. consumption. They will be elaborated bellow.

Abstract We are in a period of relatively rapid climate change. This poses challenges for individual species and threatens the ecosystem services that humanity relies upon. Temperature is a key stressor. In a warming climate, individual organisms may be able to shift their thermal optima through phenotypic plasticity. However, such plasticity is unlikely to be sufficient over the coming centuries. Resilience to warming will also depend on how fast the distribution of traits that define a species can adapt through other methods, in particular through redistribution of the abundance of variants within the population and through genetic evolution. In this paper, we use a simple theoretical ‘trait diffusion’ model to explore how the resilience of a given species to climate change depends on the initial trait diversity (biodiversity), the trait diffusion rate (mutation rate), and the lifetime of the organism. We estimate theoretical dangerous rates of continuous global warming that would exceed the ability of a species to adapt through trait diffusion, and therefore lead to a collapse in the overall productivity of the species. As the rate of adaptation through intraspecies competition and genetic evolution decreases with species lifetime, we find critical rates of change that also depend fundamentally on lifetime. Dangerous rates of warming vary from 1°C per lifetime (at low trait diffusion rate) to 8°C per lifetime (at high trait diffusion rate). We conclude that rapid climate change is liable to favour short-lived organisms (e.g. microbes) rather than longer-lived organisms (e.g. trees).

Although the scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change continues to grow, public discourse still reflects a high level of scepticism and political polarisation towards anthropogenic climate change. In this study (N = 499) we attempted to replicate and expand upon an earlier finding that environmental terminology (“climate change” versus “global warming”) could partly explain political polarisation in environmental scepticism (Schuldt, Konrath, & Schwarz, 2011). Participants completed a series of online questionnaires assessing personality traits, political preferences, belief in environmental phenomenon, and various pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours. Those with a Conservative political orientation and/or party voting believed less in both climate change and global warming compared to those with a Liberal orientation and/or party voting. Furthermore, there was an interaction between continuously measured political orientation, but not party voting, and question wording on beliefs in environmental phenomena. Personality traits did not confound these effects. Furthermore, continuously measured political orientation was associated with pro-environmental attitudes, after controlling for personality traits, age, gender, area lived in, income, and education. The personality domains of Openness, and Conscientiousness, were consistently associated with pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, whereas Agreeableness was associated with pro-environmental attitudes but not with behaviours. This study highlights the importance of examining personality traits and political preferences together and suggests ways in which policy interventions can best be optimised to account for these individual differences.

In the mountainous canton Grisons, much visited by tourists, the forest has always had an important role to play. New challenges are now presenting themselves. The article goes more closely into two themes on the Grisons forestry agenda dominating in the next few years: the increased use of timber and climate change. With the increased demand for logs and the new sawmill in Domat/Ems new opportunities are offered to the canton for more intensive use of the raw material, wood. This depends on a reduction in production costs and a positive attitude of the population towards the greater use of wood. A series of measures from the Grisons Forestry Department should be of help here. The risk of damage to infrastructure is particularly high in a mountainous canton. The cantonal government of the Grisons has commissioned the Forestry Department to define the situation concerning the possible consequences of global warming on natural hazards and to propose measures which may be taken. The setting up of extensive measurement and information systems, the elaboration of intervention maps, the estimation of the danger potential in exposed areas outside the building zone and the maintenance of existing protective constructions through the creation of a protective constructions register, all form part of the government programme for 2009 to 2012. In the Grisons, forest owners and visitors will have to become accustomed to the fact that their forests must again produce more wood and that, on account of global warming, protective forests will become even more important than they already are today.

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.
