Climate Change in Eastern Europe (Russian) http://www.grida.no/publications/security/book/4879.aspx

Prepared by Zoi in cooperation with GRID-Arendal and the Environ- ment and Security initiative, this report explores the impacts of climate change on Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine. The three countries of East- ern Europe will not be affected as strongly as many other parts of Eura- sia, yet they will see more of severe floods and forest fires, decreasing water reserves in the south, and gradual changes in biodiversity, agri- culture and food security. These countries have only started to address these challenges. National policies remain week and the general public is hardly aware of the problem. Meanwhile the industrialized Eastern Europe contributes to the global emissions of greenhouse gases, thus affecting more vulnerable parts of the world. The report was launched at the 7th Ministerial conference “Environment for Europe” in Astana in September 2011.

Living Planet: Connected Planet – Preventing the End of the World’s Wildlife Migrations through Ecological Networks http://www.grida.no/publications/rr/living-planet/ A Rapid Response Assessment launched by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (UNEP/CMS) and GA on 21 November 2011 at a side event during the 10th Conference of Parties to the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species held in Bergen, Norway. More than 100 governments came together to discuss urgent action to address the rapid decline of migratory animal across the globe. The report illustrates why ecological networks require immediate international attention and where on earth intervention is urgently needed for the frequent travellers of the animal world.
