1. 1. The female perspective on a situation of uncertainty : examining gendered and accumulated vulnerability in multiexposure to stressors through a case study in rural Nepal

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Författare :Filippa Dahlback; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Multi-exposure; stressors; climate change; Ghorka earthquake; COVID-19; vulnerability; gender; Nepal; life histories; small-scale farmers;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change impacts are becoming more severe globally, with estimations of a continued negative trend in the future. This interacts with increasing natural disasters as well as non-climatic stressors, such as pandemics or social stressors, creating a multi-exposure to stressors especially harmful for rural populations and small-scale farmers who depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.

3. 2. ‘What the Monkey ate before, and what he is eating now’ : a small-scale case study of local climate change adaptation in rural Nepal

   Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

   Författare :Gerrit Jan Hofert; [2020]
   Nyckelord :community-based adaptation; local adaptation plans of action; climate change adaptation; climate vulnerability; participation;

   Sammanfattning : Community-based adaptation (CBA), a decentralized bottom-up climate planning approach, has become increasingly important in the corresponding literature and in practice. CBA is a significant part of the debate of how to create and provide sustainable and adaptive solutions to the negative effects of climate change. LÄS MER

4. 3. Implications of a rapidly thinning ice-margin for annual moraine formation at Gornergletscher, Switzerland

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Författare :Lukas Rettig; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Recessional moraines; Ice-marginal processes; Glacier retreat; Glacial geomorphology; Glacial sedimentology; Alpine glaciers; Swiss Alps; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : This study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. LÄS MER

5. 4. Risk, Resilience and Insurance in Sudanese Pastoralism

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Alla Safieldin; [2019]
   Nyckelord :Climate change adaptation; Disaster risk management; Drought; Index-based livestock insurance; Pastoralism; Risk; Resilience; Sudan; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel are often identified as a group at the frontline of global climate change. Their existence in arid and semi-arid regions and their reliance on seasonal rainfall are among the factors that contribute to their vulnerability to drought and climate shocks. LÄS MER

7. 5. The vulnerability of Latvia’s agriculture: Farm level response to climatic and non-climatic stimuli

   Master-uppsats, Tema vatten i natur och samhälle

   Författare :Teiksma Buseva; [2011]
   Nyckelord :Adaptation; agriculture; climate change and variability; climatic and non-climatic factors; Latvian farmers; vulnerability;

   Sammanfattning : Agriculture is a climate sensitive sector whether it changes moderately and slowly or radicallyand rapidly. Many studies that focus on the vulnerability of agriculture, use climate scenariosand crop models to assess the potential impacts. LÄS MER
