The scope of this chapter, with a focus on food crops, pastures and livestock, industrial crops and biofuels, forestry (commercial forests), aquaculture and fisheries, and small - holder and subsistence agriculturalists and artisanal fishers, is to: examine current climate sensitivities / vulnerabilities; consider future trends in climate, global and regional food security, forestry and fisheries production; review key future impacts of climate change in food crops pasture and livestock production, industrial crops and biofuels, forestry, fisheries, and small - holder and subsistence agriculture; assess the effectiveness of adaptation in offsetting damages and identify adaptation options, including planned adaptation to climate change; examine the social and economic costs of climate change in those sectors; and, explore the implications of responding to climate change for sustainable development.

«A key barrier identified in exchanging data and information, besides the fact that some data are privately held, is that the mandates of institutions holding data are not necessarily aligned with the needs of users for impacts, vulnerability and adaptation work.

Requires the EPA Administrator to report to Congress by July 1, 2013, and every four years thereafter, on an analysis of: (1) key findings based on the latest scientific information relevant to global climate change; (2) capabilities to monitor and verify GHG reductions on a worldwide basis; and (3) the status of worldwide efforts for reducing GHG emission, preventing dangerous atmospheric concentrations of GHGs, preventing significant irreversible consequences of climate change, and reducing vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.

The development of criteria for identifying «key vulnerabilities» was a major contribution from Chapter 19 of the contribution of Working Group II (WGII) to the AR4 (IPCC (2007c).

To broaden the approach of estimating plausible changes in climate conditions in the framing of future risk, we recommend a bottom - up, resource - based vulnerability assessment for the key resources of water, food, energy, human health and ecosystem function for the Netherlands.

Transient temperature changes are more instructive for the analyses of key vulnerabilities, but the literature is sparse on transient assessments relative to equilibrium analyses.

During extreme heat events, nighttime temperatures in the region's big cities are generally several degrees higher28 than surrounding regions, leading to increased heat - related death among those less able to recover from the heat of the day.36 Since the hottest days in the Northeast are often associated with high concentrations of ground - level ozone and other pollutants, 37 the combination of heat stress and poor air quality can pose a major health risk to vulnerable groups: young children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions including asthma.29 Vulnerability is further increased as key infrastructure, including electricity for potentially life - saving air conditioning, is more likely to fail precisely when it is most needed — when demand exceeds available supply.

The identification of potential key vulnerabilities is intended to provide guidance to decision - makers for identifying levels and rates of climate change that may be associated with «dangerous anthropogenic interference» (DAI) with the climate system, in the terminology of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Box 19.1).

Depending on circumstances, some of these impacts could be associated with «key vulnerabilities», based on a number of criteria in the literature (magnitude, timing, persistence / reversibility, the potential for adaptation, distributional aspects, likelihood and «importance» of the impacts).

This workshop was designed to address a key issue for the USGCRP's National Climate assessments: providing information about climate - related hazards, risks, and opportunities in formats that are understandable, credible, and useful to decision makers in their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience to climate change in the regions or sectors for which they are responsible.

Alternative approaches include using SRES scenarios as surrogates for some stabilisation scenarios (Swart et al., 2002; see Table 2.4), for example to assess impacts on ecosystems (Leemans and Eickhout, 2004) and coastal regions (Nicholls and Lowe, 2004), demonstrating that socio - economic assumptions are a key determinant of vulnerability.

Most key vulnerabilities are related to (a) climate phenomena that exceed thresholds for adaptation, i.e., extreme weather events and / or abrupt climate change, often related to the magnitude and rate of climate change (see Box 7.4), and (b) limited access to resources (financial, technical, human, institutional) to cope, rooted in issues of development context.
