|a Welcome to the fourth issue of Basins and Coasts, which focuses on the theme of climate change
vulnerability and adaptation in coastal and freshwater systems. This is a timely theme. Just this month
over 10,000 representatives and 2,000 press from more than 180 countries gathered in Bali, Indonesia
to debate the future of the Earth’s climate, under the United Nations Framework Convention on
Climate Change. The world’s attention is focused on climate change as never before. Al Gore and the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have been jointly awarded a Nobel Prize for their
work to raise public awareness of global warming. Also, in the past year, the IPCC released a new
global consensus statement called Climate Change 2007. This consensus establishes without doubt
that global warming is being caused by humans, and that its magnitude and impacts are greater than
we thought just a few years ago. The freshwater and coastal sectors are among the most vulnerable
to climate change and this Issue of Basins and Coasts provides experts’ insights into impacts,
vulnerability, and adaptation of coastal and freshwater systems. |
