Select your view GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE Global Environmental Change: Human and Policy Dimensions is an international, interdisciplinary journal spanning the social and natural sciences. It publishes high-quality original theoretical and applied research and review articles across the entire field of global environmental change. Areas include biodiversity and ecosystem services, water resources, climate change, international agreements, North-South relations, land use and cover change, institutions and governance. The journal interprets global environmental change to mean the outcome of processes that are manifest in localities, but with consequences at multiple spatial, temporal and socio-political scales. The journal addresses issues of public policy, economics, equity, risk, and resilience, science policy, international development, and health and well-being.

   Extractions: Main content Large-scale and global environmental hazards to human health include climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, loss of biodiversity, changes in hydrological systems and the supplies of freshwater, land degradation and stresses on food-producing systems. Appreciation of this scale and type of influence on human health requires a new perspective which focuses on ecosystems and on the recognition that the foundations of long-term good health in populations rely in great part on the continued stability and functioning of the biosphere's life-supporting systems. It also brings an appreciation of the complexity of the systems upon which we depend. Climate change and health

   Extractions: CIESIN Thematic Guides Welcome to the CIESIN thematic guide on ozone depletion issues. The purpose of this guide is to help you find selected key documents that pertain to the issue of ozone depletion: causes, human and environmental effects, and policy responses. The 1985 report of the discovery of an "ozone hole" over Antarctica focused attention on the idea that humans can have a significant impact on the global environment. This discovery, along with evidence that ozone is being lost at nearly all latitudes outside the tropics, has prompted much research into the causes of ozone depletion and the biological effects of increased ultraviolet radiation exposure. The potential effects on humans and the environment have led to international resolutions designed to gradually phase out production of ozone-depleting substances. As a result, the scientific and industrial communities have collaborated to find safe and economical replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), the manmade chemicals implicated in ozone loss. This guide contains an Overview that provides general background on key concepts and issues related to ozone depletion. In addition, four subsections explore selected topics in greater detail:

    Extractions: Welcome The UK Global Environmental Change Committee (GECC) is an Inter-Agency Committee which provides a forum to coordinate UK involvement in the science and technology of climate change and other global environmental change, both nationally and internationally. It reviews the effectiveness of the national capacity, capability and performance in these areas and makes recommendations, including identification of lead agencies. The GECC works to ensure that UK Government policy is sufficiently informed by the work undertaken by the science base. It also seeks to ensure that its requirements are effectively communicated to those advancing the science and providing supporting observation and monitoring activities. As part of this, the GECC supports effective UK participation in international science and technology programmes. The Chair is Professor Robert Watson Defra Chief Scientific Adviser.

    Extractions: Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change Global environmental changes––such as climate change, land change, and biodiversity loss––are worldwide biophysical changes resulting from a combination of human activities and natural processes. The field of human dimensions of global environmental change (HDGEC) engages in research on human activities responsible for these global environmental changes, the underlying socioeconomic forces underlying and driving those activities, the consequences of global environmental changes for human systems, and the human responses to contemporary and anticipated global environmental changes. HDGEC draws from and integrates the traditional social science disciplines of anthropology, economics, geography, political science, psychology, sociology, and others in an interdisciplinary research field created to better understand global environmental change and to inform public policy. Practitioners working on HDGEC rely on approaches ranging from agent-based models, econometric models, and geographic information systems to surveys, focus groups, interviews, participant observations, ethnography, and archival research. Practitioners regularly apply quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods analytical techniques to primary data they gather themselves and to secondary data they obtain from local, state, national, and international sources. Despite the word “global” in HDGEC, much of the research focus is local because understanding global environmental changes requires place-based and context-specific knowledge.

The Congressional language directing DOE to establish NIGEC also specified that it be composed of academic research institutions representing the four principal regions of the United States and that the institutions draw on the scholarly resources within their region to serve DOE's interests. The NIGEC was recently reorganized and renamed to the DOE National Institute for Climatic Change Research (NICCR). The NICCR presently consists of four regional centers, each hosted by a different university. The regional centers solicit, recommend, and manage research projects within their respective geographic regions. The four NICCR regional center host universities are Duke University (Southeastern region), Michigan Technological University (Midwestern region), Northern Arizona University (Western region), and The Pennsylvania State University (Northeastern region). NICCR is supported by cooperative agreements between each host university and the DOE.
