By APCSS Editor|2023-09-14T12:14:48-10:00September 13th, 2017|Categories: Courses, Faculty, College, Faculty Articles, External Publications, Canyon|Tags: climate change|

Abstract: The World Health Organization defined climate change as the most important issue for the 21st century. In 2014, the State of Hawaii called climate change “a matter of security” that directly threatens “economic systems – food, water, energy, biodiversity and health” and has called for “actionable information for local decision making.” According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the burden of human morbidity attributable to climate change is relatively small although not well quantified. Nevertheless, generic climate change impacts are often used to justify actions without adequate supporting local evidence.
