1. Introduction Scientific evidence of the world’s changing climate is unequivocal. The expected impacts of the changing climate are likely to adversely affect the well being of all countries and particularly the poorest countries‚ some of which are in Africa. The changing climate has been manifested in the form of: increased severity and frequency of droughts; floods and storms; water stress‚ coastal erosion‚ and higher incidence of vector borne diseases among others. The resulting declines in

Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse effects (Arrhenius

Nitrous oxide (NO2): emitted during agricultural and industrial activities‚ as well as during combustion of solid waste and fossil fuels. The Kyoto Protocol is a legally binding international agreement to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions causing climate change‚ which was initially negotiated during the CoP-3 meeting held Kyoto‚ Japan in 1997. The agreement would commit industrialized countries to reduce emissions of six greenhouse gases (excluding 03 and water vapor) by 5% by 2012. Rather than

Developing an effective climate is therefore a key component for any organisation seeking to raise their game or increase their productivity. So what exactly IS climate? Climate can be described as ‘the unwritten rules’ or ‘the way things are around here’. It is a complex blend of attitudes‚ expectations‚ policies and norms that effect motivations & behaviours. Within every organisation a climate exists. Within every team or workgroup a micro-climate exists – and factors such as leadership style

The climate in Egypt is generally moderate; it is mostly hot or warm during the day‚ and cool at night. In the coastal regions‚ daytime average temperatures range between a minimum 140C in winter and maximum 300C in summer. In deserts the temperatures vary considerably‚ especially in summer; when they may range from 7°C at night‚ to 52 °C during the day. While the winter temperatures in deserts do not fluctuate so wildly‚ they can be as low as 0 °C at night‚ and as high as 18 °C during the day. Egypt

India has a large number of climatic regions‚ tropical climate in the south to temperate and alpine in the north Himalayan regions. The elevated Himalayan regions receive snowfall in the winter months. Himalayas and the Thar Desert substantially influence the Indian climate. The Himalayas block the cold winds from Central Asia. This keeps the Indian subcontinent warmer than places with similar latitudes. Thar Desert attracts the south west monsoons during the June to October post summer months‚
