All estimates of the possible impact of global warming suggest that a large part of the continent will become drier, and that the continent as a whole will experience greater climatic variability.

(c) Climatic conditions

Many Parties stated that they already experience severe water supply problems caused by a rapid increase in population, growing demands from agriculture and industry, expanding urbanization, unabated pollution of water bodies and the effects of climatic variability and extreme events (e.g. Lesotho, Philippines, Uganda).

Biodiversity and climatic stability are global public goods.

A focus on the variability of human performance and how human operators (and organizations) can manage that variability may be a more fruitful approach.

Human activities, in addition to natural climate variability, are producing these changes.

(d) Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change

Scientists increasingly believe that global warming will be accompanied by larger climatic disturbances.

Late ice age climatic changes caused plant communities and animal populations to change.

This increase is attributed to a combination of human factors and climatic factors.

Noting that climate variability, rather than climate change, is an ever present regional concern, he said that coping with present day variability would go a long way down the road towards adapting for climate change.

According to the government, there are 103 resorts in different climatic zones in Georgia.

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and implications for climatic change are likewise examined.

There is remarkable variability in the role of sub national governments relative to central governments.

It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary.

From this perspective, probabilistic design predicts the flow of variability (or distributions) through a system.

NEW YORK All signs suggest that the planet is still hurtling headlong toward climatic disaster.

Four major climatic groupings predominate in India tropical wet, tropical dry, subtropical humid, and montane.

This led to a wide range of variability in quality and quantity between seasons and regions.

The variability of the draft convention's scope of application could entail legal uncertainty for the sector.

If I move in this particular way, I end up with a smaller variability across many movements.

The climatic factors of concern include droughts and projected reductions in freshwater availability due to global warming.

(b) Improving access to high quality data and information on current and future climate variability and extreme events

It is vital that the Copenhagen delegates recognize and promote Africa s contribution to the world s delicate climatic balance.

Scientists studying paleoclimate the climates of the ancient past have documented the massive impact of earlier climatic changes.

Many of the geographically disadvantaged countries suffer from adverse agro climatic conditions and are susceptible to natural disasters.

By considering this flow, a designer can make adjustments to reduce the flow of random variability, and improve quality.

This variability is driven by the degree of aridity combined with the pressure people put on the ecosystem's resources.

Tourism is, however, a biodiversity dependent industry and it is itself also affected by climate variability and environmental change.

Adaptation to climate variability will be the only way forward in many destinations that are currently prime holiday spots.

For example, the EU s policy notes that foreseen flexibility rules can compensate for local climatic, cultural, or structural differences.

Agriculture in Africa is susceptible to climatic fluctuations, especially droughts which can reduce the amount of food produced locally.

The spacing, altitude and age of beach ridges are being studied to help assess climatic variations during the Holocene.

But countries like Ethiopia have virtually no water storage facilities, great variability in rainfall, and attractive sites for hydroelectric generation.

For example, data variability at the basic heading level may be too great for PPPs at that level to be published.

Mr. Moussa Sanon, Burkina Faso, presented a case study on transfer of technology and capacity building for coping with climate variability.

Climate change and variability, the sea level rise and susceptibility to natural disasters and other global environmental phenomena caused environmental degradation.

Because decreased biodiversity results in less resistant crops and loss of ecosystem services, pest infestations and weather variability increase agricultural stresses.

Mountain States are characterized by remoteness, difficult accessibility, the scarcity of information, harsh geo climatic conditions, and high costs of living.
