"The Global Calculator is a free and interactive tool that helps you to understand the link between our lifestyles, the energy we use, and the consequences for our climate. It is aimed at anyone interested in exploring what a low-carbon world could look like in 2050. The Calculator shows that it is possible to prevent dangerous climate change and ensure people's living standards continue to improve if we act now. Access the Global Calculator Insights from the Calculator: read our report The Global Calculator shows that as lifestyles continue to improve while still tackling climate change, we must transform the technologies and fuels we use, and make smarter use of our limited land resources. The report Prosperous living for the world in 2050 (PDF 1.43MB) uses evidence from the tool to show what we need to achieve. ...it's really helpful to be able to look at impacts and balances between the drivers in the tool to think about how we face the future.  Mott MacDonald     What we found Want to dig deeper into the data?

Our one-stop guide to the facts of global warming, from the science and politics to economics and technology

La Universitat de Cambridge basant-se en el darrer informe del IPCC ens ofereix una visió sintètica però molt complerta sobre les implicacions que té i tindrà el canvi climàtic a l'agricultura i sobre les opcions que poden positivar en el possible els impactes negatius

In 2006, the member countries of the OECD endorsed the New Rural Paradigm (NRP). For the first time, it proposed a conceptual framework positioning rural policy as an investment strategy promoting competitiveness in rural areas. This was a radical change from the typical subsidy programmes aimed at specific sectors. The magnitude of this shift was not fully appreciated at the time. Indeed, the ramifications for national rural development policies and programmes were not well understood. Now, as the OECD celebrates its 10th Rural Conference, we have a decade of experience observing how the New Rural Paradigm has held up over time. Today, we look at the next steps for the OECD Rural Policy Programme and consider the direction our future work should take. "

"AR5 provides a clear and up to date view of the current state of scientific knowledge relevant to climate change. It consists of three Working Group (WG) reports and a Synthesis Report (SYR). Further information about the outline and content and how the AR5 has been prepared can be found in the AR5 reference document and SYR Scoping document."

Informe sobre els reptes i les oportunitats de desenvolupament que ofereix el canvi climàtic d'aquí a l'any 2020. El Pla d'acció s'estructura en 5 eixos estratègics: la implementació, la convergència, la maximització de l'impacte, la resiliència i la transformació. El Banc Mundial té la intenció de respondre a aquests reptes i oportunitats amb funcions com ampliar l'acció climàtica, integrar el canvi climàtic en totes les seves operacions i donar suport i treballar més estretament amb els països. L'objectiu d'aquest pla és bàsicament ajudar els països a complir les promeses fetes a la COP21 que es va dur a terme a París i gestionar els impactes climàtics creixents

Analitza reptes i ofereix recomanacions als responsables de polítiques agràries del món per tal d'aconseguir un creixement sostenible de la productivitat agrària, sense sacrificar els objectius de mitigació del canvi climàtic ni d'adaptació

"Why climate talks need to focus on agriculture"

Publicació de la FAO que recull les conclusions d'un grup de científics i economistes que han fet un balanç dels efectes del canvi climàtic sobre l'agricultura i l'alimentació a escala mundial i regional en les últimes dues dècades. Els autors afirmen que l'escalfament global tindrà conseqüències profundes sobre on i com es produeixen els aliments, i durà també a una reducció de les propietats nutricionals d'alguns cultius, la qual cosa té implicacions en les polítiques de lluita contra la fam i la pobresa i per al comerç mundial d'aliments. El llibre proposa solucions per fer front a aquests reptes

Governments support energy production and consumption in order to meet social, economic and environmental objectives, and they have been doing so for decades. In times of economic crisis, public budgets and household incomes come under pressure. At the same time, countries need to kick‑start their economies by creating new employment opportunities in emerging industries such as the renewable sector. This report examines the support allocated to energy production and consumption in Europe and its impact on innovation in renewable energy.
