The author presents selected ventures in the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation that negatively affect indigenous peoples. Against this factual background, she analyzes relevant international legal regulations. Such an analysis enables the answer to the main research question: can climate change adaptation and mitigation actions be the justification for disrespecting the rights of indigenous peoples? The research method adopted is legal- -institutional analysis which includes an examination of the content of legal and other documents. Combined with critical analysis of literature and media reports this analysis allows representation of the reality – violations of the rights of indigenous peoples as a part of efforts to counteract climate change. Recommendations and main findings include: climate change adaptation and mitigation measures may not justify violations of the rights of indigenous peoples; such measures have to be developed in collaboration with indigenous communities; indigenous peoples’ rights may not be perceived as a factor hindering the State’s economic development or an obstacle to environmental protection; indigenous knowledge should be included in the strategies to combat climate change. Indigenous peoples should be regularly consulted by policy makers so that the their traditional knowledge is incorporated in decisions regarding these matters.

(Agro) pastoral communities who reside in the arid and semi-arid environments of Ethiopia are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and variability specifically to the recurrent drought, floods and conflicts. From their long years of rich experiences of how to survive on such environmental pressures, (agro) pastoralists have also developed various forms of adaptation as well as coping strategies to the impacts of climate change and variability. Such strategies are closely guided and supervised by their customary institutions which have rich experiences in addressing the socio-economic/ cultural, political and environmental/ecological aspects. To mention some of the adaptation mechanisms in the study area are pastoral mobility; relying on traditional early warning mechanisms; area enclosures and preparing of hays/forage; diversifying livestock and selection of their species; the shift from pure form of pastoral to agropastoral production systems; and among others. Some of the coping strategies employed by the (agro) pastoralists are also their engagement in charcoal production and fire wood collections; the sell of their livestock, government support in the form of safety net and MERET project and their indigenous social support mechanisms; petty trading especially by women; brokering on livestock trade; engagement in contraband trade; searching for daily labor, and among others. The paper also tried to assess the roles of customary institutions in social support mechanisms to the problems posed by the impacts of climate change and variability to their age old traditional ways of livelihood mechanisms.

This article studies how climate change affects the agricultural productivity in Pakistan`s four provinces Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and the N.W.F.P., measured as weighted food crop yields per hectare, for the food crops wheat, rice and maize. By considering the RABI (Nov-Apr) growing season and including a measure for drought to capture the occurrence of extreme events, exacerbated through climate change, the proposed hypothesis is that changing climatic variables have reduced and are reducing the agricultural productivity and thus posing a threat to long term food security. To depict the effect of climate change, several control variables are introduced in a panel framework for intertemporal analysis. As a result, we should expect lower levels of productivity in the arid zones with greater climatic pressure and adverse effects on food security through lower agricultural yields.

W niniejszej pracy przedstawiamy jak ważnym jest proces wdrażania celów zrównoważonego rozwoju w kontekście problemów związanych z oceanem. Pokazujemy, że ocean jest jedną wielką, wzajemnie współzależną całością i dlatego wszelkie procesy, zachodzące w szerokim znaczeniu oceanu, mają wpływ na każdy z celów, a z kolei jakiekolwiek działanie w obrębie któregokolwiek celu ma wpływ na ocean. Twierdzimy, że szeroko rozumiane działania edukacyjne, dedykowane wszelkim grupom wiekowym i społecznym, jak również podejście interdyscyplinarne są podstawą do sukcesu we wdrażaniu idei zrównoważonego rozwoju w skali od lokalnej do globalnej.

In this work we discuss the importance of the application of sustainable development goals (SDGs) to all aspects which are related to the ocean. We argue that the ocean is interconnected and processes which are related to the ocean have direct impact on all SDGs, and any action undertaken within any of the SDGs will have an impact on the ocean. We believe that widely understood education of societies can ensure the proper understanding and hence implementation of the sustainable development idea throughout the world.

The climate policy of the European Union, concerning the struggle against global warming, concentrates, among others, on the realisation of the objectives of "the energy-climate package 3x20" adopted by the European Council, envisaging a 20% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, a 20% increase in energy efficiency and a 20% share of energy produced from renewable sources in the overall energy balance by 2020. The commitment to meet these objectives has been underlined with directives aimed at promoting the use of renewable energy sources, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the improvement and extension of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EU ETS) geologic storage of carbon dioxide and the public support for the actions aiming at environmental protection. The agreed energy-climate package means that EU member states are going to face many challenges, imposing on them the obligation to take a number of measurable steps towards implementation of these directives. On the one hand, the main objectives of the package fit very well into the concept of sustainable development, whilst, on the other, meeting these objectives is very costly and controversial, in particular for countries whose energy is based on conventional sources. What is the essence of the energy-climate package given the climate change theory and within the context of sustainable development? What has been the success of the realisation of the package so far? These are the main research questions in this paper.(original abstract)
