Influencing resilience: the role of policy entrepreneurs in mainstreaming climate adaptation

One way to make development pathways more resilient in the face of a changing climate has been through mainstreaming adaptation into government policies, planning and sectoral decision‐making. To date, many of the transferable lessons have taken the form of technical approaches such as risk assessments and toolkits. This article instead draws on evidence from South Asia to emphasise some of the more tacit and informal approaches used to influence adaptation policy. Despite their apparent significance in policy processes, such tactics are often neither planned for nor well reported in resilience‐building projects and programme documents. Using evidence to populate a typology of influencing strategies, this article looks particularly at the role of policy entrepreneurs who navigate the political complexity of both formal and informal governance systems to promote successful adaptation mainstreaming. It concludes with recommendations for adaptation and resilience programming that can more effectively harness the breadth of influencing strategies.     

天山中部公路建设对生态环境的影响及对策——以G218线新源至库尔勒段公路改建工程为例

改建长度为303.97km的新源至库尔勒段公路穿越4个不同类型的气候区以及4个结构、功能各异的生态区段,沿途经过那拉提风景旅游区和巩乃斯国家级森林公园.通过评价该公路改建和运营对生态环境的影响,并结合公路改建前多年运营以来沿线生态系统的自然恢复程度的调查,提出一些人为缓解和恢复的对策.     

三峡工程生态环境影响分析

经过六年多的研究,笔者认为:三峡工程对生态环境的影响有有利影响和不利影响两个方面。对不利影响只要认真对待,采取措施,可以减少到最小程度,所以生态环境问题不是三峡工程决策的制约因素。     

城镇用地扩张的影响分析

社会经济条件的变化是推动城镇用地扩张的重要力量。城镇用地规模不断扩大，不仅促进了城镇本身功能的完善、经济实力的提高，带动了周围农村地区社会经济的发展。而且，城镇用地大量、快速向外扩张也给城镇本身及其周围农村带来了较大的负面影响。

造纸行业环境影响评价中清洁生产评价的实践与思考

造纸行业是资金密集型、技术密集型产业,企业能耗、水耗、资源消耗很大.随着产品产量的增加,行业污染物排放量势必存在增长趋势,造纸行业清洁生产潜力巨大,造纸项目环境影响评价中的清洁生产水平评价变得越来越重要.就造纸行业环境影响评价中清洁生产水平评价的评价指标、评价方法、评价工作中遇到的实际问题以及当前形势对环境影响评价的更高要求以及应对办法等进行了论述.     

采动对矿区生态环境的影响及治理对策

根据开采沉陷学的原理,对由于采动而引起的地质灾害及表现形式作了详细阐述,以及由此对矿区生态环境所产生的影响进行了分析评价,并提出了相应的治理措施。     

全国2018~2019年秋冬季气象条件变化对PM2.5影响研究

本文基于WRF-CMAQ模型定量分析了气象条件变化对PM_2.5的影响.全国337个城市2018~2019秋冬季气象条件转差导致PM_2.5平均浓度同比上升约5.55%.24个省市气象条件同比转差，北京气象转差致使PM_2.5同比上升约3.66%.从重点区域来看，京津冀及周边“2+26”城市气象条件转差最显著，汾渭平原次之，长江三角洲（以下称长三角）基本持平，分别导致PM_2.5浓度同比上升约9.4%、8.3%、1.1%.“2+26”城市和汾渭平原气象条件在11月、1月、2月转差，10月、3月气象条件转好.长三角则10月、11月、3月气象条件转差；12月、1月、2月转好.“2+26”城市2018~2019秋冬季PM_2.5浓度同比上升主要为气象条件转差所致；汾渭平原PM_2.5同比变化较小，人为减排有效抵消了气象条件转差带来的不利影响；长三角PM_2.5浓度同比下降，与气象条件变幅小且污染排放较去年同期降低有关.

Social influence on the correlation between behaviours in young-of-the-year perch

The connection between risk-taking behaviour and exploratory behaviour in young-of-the-year perch (Perca fluviatilis) was studied in aquarium experiments to see whether individual behaviour patterns could be identified in this species and also to investigate how individual behaviour is influenced by their social environment. Risk-taking was defined as the time spent foraging in an open area vs hiding in the vegetation in the presence of a piscivore. Explorative behaviour was measured as latency to enter a passage leading to an unknown area. Groups of four fish were used for the observations, and both behaviours measured were positively correlated with the mean scores of these behaviours in the other group members. Risk-taking and explorative behaviours were correlated only when data was adjusted for the behaviour of the other group members. Individuals that spent more time in the open than their companions also tended to be faster than the others to enter the passage to the unknown area and vice versa. The results indicate that there are consistent individual differences in boldness in perch, but also that behaviour could be modified according to the behaviour of group members.
