This research paper assesses the likely economic impact of climate change on the health sector in Trinidad and Tobago. The analysis, however, was limited to the economic impact of only a few climate-related diseases1 for which data were available. The approach utilized in this paper makes for eas...


The Bahamas is at great risk and vulnerability given its geographical features as a low-lying, sea encircled country. If projected sea level rise is reached by 2050, between 10-12% of territory will be lost, especially in coastal zones where the main tourism assets are located. Vulnerability coul...


Montserrat is at great risk from the economic impact of climate change on its international transportation sector, which brings nearly all of its visitors (mainly tourists) from the main markets in North America and Western Europe and moves virtually all of its merchandise trade. The presence of ...

Fifteen cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) genotypes were grown at two field sites of Nigeria from 1994 to 1996 (Ibadan: 28±5°C, altitude 210 masl and Jos: 18±5°C, altitude of 1260 masl) to evaluate the use of chlorophyll fluorescence in screening for cold tolerance in cassava. At 12 months after ...

A range of physical means of manipulating yam tuber dormancy was tested, including the use of temperature, water, electric shock, microwave, heat and storage treatments. Most treatments had very little practical effect on tuber dormancy though differences in dormancy length between clones were de...

The response of any hydrological system to climate change may differ depending on characteristics of the system. Such studies are lacking for basins in Western Nepal. This paper, therefore, argues for a need to re-phrase the context of Western Nepal in more positive light and then analyses how a ...
