El cambio climático es un fenómeno que, en la actualidad, presenta un desafío para los países a nivel mundial. Los efectos, que este fenómeno puede tener, están asociados a cambios en las variables meteorológicas por largos periodos. Esto ha llevado a desarrollar métodos para proyectar estos cambios y tomar las medidas necesarias de mitigación y adaptación. En este trabajo se analizaron las proyecciones de temperatura máxima (Tmáx) por un período de 25 años en un punto específico en la ciudad de Villahermosa, Tabasco. Las mediciones se obtuvieron de una estación de calidad del aire. Se empleó un escenario de las trayectorias de concentración representativa (RCP-siglas en inglés), para encontrar un patrón de comportamiento futuro de Tmáx. El análisis del RCP 6.0 mostró que se espera un aumento promedio de Tmáx de 1.34 °C a lo largo de 2015-2039, con una tasa de 0.02 °C/año, similar con la histórica reportada en otros estudios.

Maintaining biodiversity is crucial for ensuring human well-being. The authors participated in a workshop held in Palenque, Mexico, in August 2018, that brought together 30 mostly early-career scientists working in different disciplines (natural, social and economic sciences) with the aim of identifying research priorities for studying the contributions of biodiversity to people and how these contributions might be impacted by environmental change. Five main groups of questions emerged: (1) Enhancing the quantity, quality, and availability of biodiversity data; (2) Integrating different knowledge systems; (3) Improved methods for integrating diverse data; (4) Fundamental questions in ecology and evolution; and (5) Multi-level governance across boundaries. We discuss the need for increased capacity building and investment in research programmes to address these challenges.
