ישראל ושינויי האקלים הצעת מדיניות לממשלת ישראל
היערכות הינה כורח המציאות. לא בחירה. על כן, פעלנו בשנה האחרונה לייצר את מסמך מדיניות האקלים של קואליציית "דרכים לקיימות". המסמך, המכיל למעלה מ-100 עמודים, מציע מדיניות אקלים אחראית למדינת ישראל, ברמת פירוט גבוהה ובאופן מקצועי במיוחד. את פרקי המסמך העוסקים כל אחד בנושא שונה כמו זיהום אוויר, כלכלה, מים, תחבורה, עירוניות ועוד, כתבו ארגוני הסביבה המתמחים בנושאים הללו.

התכנית הלאומית להתייעלות אנרגטית, צמצום בצריכת החשמל 2010-2020
מדובר בתוכנית כלל-מערכתית אינטנסיבית המכוונת להשגת ייעול וחיסכון, אשר מפרטת את הצעדים הנדרשים בכל מגזר, מגדירה סדרי עדיפויות, ומציגה את הפעולות ואת דרכי הביצוע שאותם יוביל משרד התשתיות הלאומיות. התוכנית כוללת תמריצים כספיים, הטבות מיסוי, תקנות ורגולציה, חינוך, סדנאות, פרסום הסברה ועוד.במסגרת התוכנית, הגיש המשרד לממשלה הצעה להקמתה של קרן להתייעלות אנרגטית בהיקף שנתי של כ-220 מליון ש"ח, שתמומן באמצעות העלאה של אחוז אחד בתעריף החשמל. כל כספי הקרן יחזרו לציבור דרך תמריצים שונים, ופירות החיסכון יורגשו בחשבון המופחת שנשלם כולנו.על בסיס התוכנית, ובמסגרת התכנית הלאומית להפחתת פליטות גזי חממה, אישרה הממשלה תוכנית להתייעלות אנרגטית. לשם כך הוקצבו למשרד 157 מיליון ש"ח בכל אחת מהשנים 2011 ו-2012 לפעולות בתחום זה, גידול מרשים בהשוואה ל-6 מיליון ש"ח שהוקצו בשנת 2009, וכן כ-7 תקני כוח אדם נוספים.

Socioeconomic and data challenges: Disaster risk reduction in Europe - UNDRR - 2019
Disaster risk reduction (DRR) involves complex processes with different stakeholders at all administrative levels. Two elements in particular play a major role: the need to ensure stakeholders' interoperability through an efficient exchange of data, and the inclusion of socioeconomic factors which may influence DRR processes. This report aims at contributing to increase the global knowledge on these two elements, focusing on the related issues affecting DRR throughout the European continent.

GAR 2019 - Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction - UNDRR
The 2019 Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction (GAR) is informed by the latest data – including Sendai Framework target reporting by countries using the Sendai Framework Monitor – and infers early lessons on the state of the global disaster risk landscape. While the observed period is still too short to reach definitive conclusions at a global scale, it is possible to ascertain certain patterns in terms of magnitude, geographic and socioeconomic distribution of impacts and abstract

בחינת תרומת קבוצות סוציו אקונומיות בישראל לפליטות גזי חממה מצריכת מזון ביתי
לייצור המזון, במיוחד בחקלאות התעשייתית, נודעת השפעה ממשית על היקף פליטות גזי חממה באופן ישיר או עקיף. גזי חממה אלו נוצרים בכל שלבי מחזור החיים של המזון, החל משלב החקלאות ותשומותיו, דרך הייצור, הפצה, קירור, קמעונאות, הכנת המזון בבית וכלה בסילוק הפסולת.למעשה, בעוד שבמחקרים השונים קיימת הסכמה על כך שפליטות גזי חממה מייצור המזון וצריכתו מהוות חלק משמעותי מפליטות גזי החממה בעולם, המחלוקת המחקרית נסובה סביב הערכת היקף הפליטות. לדוגמא, לפי דוח של האו"ם מ- 2014 14.5% מפליטות גזי החממה כתוצאה מפעילו

Explaining Extreme Weather Events of 2013 from a Climate Perspective
The annual Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS) special issue on the attribution of last year’s extreme weather events is published today. This year’s issue “explaining extreme events of 2013 – from a climate perspective” includes two papers led by researchers from our climateprediction. This is a highly-cited and influential annual publication coined in 2012 asking whether and to what extent anthropogenic climate change altered the risk of major extreme weather events of the p

Climate Prediction for Adaptation: Who needs what?
The role of short- and long-term climate predictions in determining the success of adaptation to climate change is investigated. A simple theoretical model that captures the relationship between adaptive performance, decision structure, and prediction accuracy at different temporal scales is developed, and its implications deduced. It is shown that users who face high adjustment costs (i.e. are inflexible) depend more heavily on accurate long-term predictions than those who are able to adjust

This declaration is the outcome document of the Mayors Adaptation Forum, which forms the Mayors segment of the Resilient Cities 2011 congress. It highlights the need to build resilience to disasters as a critical issue. It also signals the need to take appropriate action to build local capacities in reducing risk to disasters including those exacerbated by climate change.
The declaration advocates for the implementation of the following: (i) mainstreaming new adaptation and resilience standard

A double-resolution transient RCM climate change
A double-resolution regional experiment on hydrodynamic simulation of climate over the eastern Mediterranean (EM) region was performed using an International Center for Theoretical Physics, Trieste RegCM3 model. The RegCM3 was driven from the lateral boundaries by the data from the ECHAM5/MPI-OM global climate simulation performed at the MPI-M, Hamburg and based on the A1B IPCC scenario of greenhouse gases emission. Two simulation runs for the time period 1960-2060, employing spatial resolutions

Climate Change Adaptation and Real Option Evaluation: A Case Study in Campeche, Mexico
This report illustrates the application of a (relatively) new method to guide decision making under high (and unknowable) levels of uncertainty. The approach allows for the identification of robust policy options that are economically beneficial under different scenarios and varying levels uncertainty. Option value techniques are commonly employed in the finance literature to identify investment decisions that are resilient across a spectrum of outcomes. The methods are technically advanced
