Understanding Weather and Hospital Admissions Patterns to Inform Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in the Healthcare Sector in Uganda
(MDPI, 2018)
Background: Season and weather are associated with many health outcomes, which can influence hospital admission rates. We examined associations between hospital admissions (all diagnoses) and local meteorological parameters ...
Did South American Mixed Paleofloras evolve under thermal equability or in the absence of an effective Andean barrier during the Cenozoic?
(ELSEVIER, 2005-02-11)
Two hypotheses have attempted to explain the development of Mixed Paleofloras during the Cenozoic in South America. One of them postulates changes in the climatic tolerances of its component taxa and the other calls for ...
An Approach Concerning Climate Change and Timber Building Resilience: Araucanía Region, South Chile
(MDPI, 2021)
This study analysed climate change effects concerning the resilience of timber buildings located in southern Chile, specifically in two cities: Collipulli and Temuco (Araucanía Region). A digital fuzzy logic method was ...
A climate change vulnerability index and case study in a Brazilian Coastal City
(2016-08-18)
Coastal areas are highly susceptible to the effects of climate change, particularly to sea-level rise and extreme rainfall events, resulting in increased social and environmental vulnerabilities. In this context, the need ...
Climatic variables and altitude as predictors of anuran species richness and number of reproductive modes in Brazil
(2010-07-01)
Because anuran species are highly dependent on environmental variables, we hypothesized that anuran species richness and the number of reproductive modes from different Brazilian localities vary according to climatic and ...

The Role of the Private Sector in Global Climate and Energy Governance
(Springer Netherlands, 2015)
The private sector plays an active role in implementation of mechanisms concerning the mitigation of climate change. In spite of that, the corporate actors play a limited direct role in international arenas when it comes ...
Potential effects of climate change on the temperate zones of North and South America

Vulnerability to the health effects of climate variability in rural southwestern Uganda
(Springer, 2015)
Vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change will be shaped by the existing burden of ill- health and is expected to be highest in poor and socio-economically marginalized populations. Sub-Saharan Africa, in ...
