Absztrakt A klímaváltozás súlyos fenyegetést jelent a mezőgazdaságra, globális és regionális szinten egyaránt. A mezőgazdaságnak alkalmazkodnia kell a változó éghajlati viszonyokhoz, hogy fenntartható módon tudjon élelmiszert termelni a növekvő népesség számára. A klímaorientált okos mezőgazdaság (Climate-Smart Agriculture, CSA) egy olyan innovatív...

Absztrakt A fenntarthatóság fogalma nem csupán globális kihívást jelent, hanem lokális cselekvést is igényel. A H. Daly-féle hármas feltételek (megújuló források fenntartása, nem megújulók helyettesítése, szennyezés csökkentése) mellett megítélésünk szerint a lokális dimenzió bevonása is elengedhetetlen a hatékony fenntarthatósági stratégiák kidolg...

Urgent actions are needed both individually and collectively to reach the targets set by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. The complex issues of sustainability and climate change set the need for new skills and competences. Education systems worldwide need to integrate competence development into their agenda to achieve a su...

The level of greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most important issues today, both professionally and politically, because a lower level of greenhouse gas emission is mandatory for a sustainable economy. Besides industry and households, the transport sector is also responsible for these emissions. For this reason, it may be essential to set up a...

While European regions face a range of different climate hazards, little is known about how these differences affect local climate adaptation planning. We present an analytical framework for evaluating local climate adaptation plans (LCAPs) and apply it to 327 cities in 28 countries across different European regions.
