High prevalence of human fascioliasis has been associated with recent climate changes, human settlement, and socioeconomic activities [ 4, 7, 23].
The benefits and costs of climate change for industry, settlement, and society will vary widely by location and scale.
Pollen profiles from two lakes, Tawny Pond (44°48′59″N, 77°10′54″W, 276 m) and Stoll Lake (44°58′16″N, 77°17′22″W,303 m) in Addington Highlands, eastern Ontario, Canada were analyzed to determine the effects of late-Holocene climate change and European settlement on eastern Ontario's forests.
The study's findings may help conservationists, the scientists say, as the elephants face new pressures from climate change and human settlements.
On the topic of climate change, adapting urban settlements to face this growing demand is a priority issue, especially for fast-growing cities in developing countries such as Brazil.
Urbanisation itself, with its higher density population, potentially increases people's vulnerability to climate change, especially when settlements are not designed to be 'climate resilient' [ 1].
Climate change, drought and human settlement into previously uninhabited areas have played important roles in the growing number and ferocity of US wildfires but the Rim fire's speed – it leapt rivers and roads before firefighters could respond – owes much to the venerable piles of forest debris, and the hubris of denying fire.
In September, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) were replaced by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (UN 2015), where DRR was addressed by goals linked to poverty eradication, food security, infrastructure, cities and human settlements, climate change, and ecosystems.
