“…Given that increased extreme rainfall events may induce more destructive floods that can hamper socio‐economic activities, deteriorate human health and undermine national development, there is a need to formulate policy that will accommodate adaptation and mitigation strategies to limit these impacts. Several strategies for combating extreme rainfall events in cities have been discussed in some studies (Byrne and Jinjun, ; Martínez et al ., ; Pelling, ; Rashid, ; Xiao and Chen, ). These strategies include regulating extensive runoff through tree planting, retaining runoff through rainwater harvesting, optimizing the infiltration capacity of soil and improving groundwater recharge, and so on.…”

This study examines the potential impacts of specific global warming levels (GWLs) on extreme rainfall events in southern Africa and over 12 major cities in the region. We analysed two regional climate simulation datasets: the Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) and the NASA Earth eXchange Global Daily Downscaled Projections (NEX-GDDP, hereafter referred to as NEX), which used different methods (dynamical and statistical, respectively) in downscaling several global climate model (GCM) simulations from CMIP5. Twenty simulations were used from each dataset. The simulated rainfall indices for the reference period were compared with eight observation datasets. The projected changes in rainfall indices were examined

“…Isu lingkungan yang akarnya berasal dari aktifitas manusia menuntut manusia untuk memiliki pengetahuan terhadap isu lingkungan yang mereka hadapi. Sebuah penelitian yang dilakukan di Bogota, Kolombia terhadap masyarakat perkotaan menunjukkan bahwa 52.05 % merasakan suhu lebih panas, 33.72% merasakan terjadinya penurunan curah hujan (Pardo Martínez, Alfonso Piña, & Moreno, 2018).…”

Environmental issues are problems that arise from the results of greedy human activities in exploiting nature. Many environmental issues have made humans vulnerable to disasters. The utilization of energy resources carried out by humans today results in air pollution, the greenhouse effect, and global warming. The environment becomes degraded due to human activation, a degraded environment will only have a negative impact on human life. This article discusses human knowledge and attitudes towards environmental issues. Environmental knowledge is general knowledge about facts, concepts, or relationships related to the surrounding environment and its ecosystem. Every human being has different environmental knowledge because it is influenced by factors of education, experience, information, the area of residence. Knowledge of the environment that humans have will support their environmental attitudes and behavior. Every environmental issue that occurs will bring up two kinds of attitudes in the community, namely positive and negative attitudes. Every attitude possessed by humans will determine what steps they will choose in facing environmental issues, such as turning off lights, turning off electronic equipment, choosing vehicles with minimal emissions.

“…While the number of studies on perceptions of climate change continues to grow, studies done in Latin America remain uncommon, with more research being carried out in developed countries [27,28]. This is of particular concern because the effects of climate change will differ between regions, with Latin American countries being identified as particularly vulnerable to its impacts [1].…”

It is necessary to mobilize households so that they make changes to their everyday activities to address climate change. However, in the academic literature, there has been little focus on the perceived barriers to climate change action at the household level. Previous research has also highlighted a need for more studies in Latin America. This study contributes to the literature by filling these gaps. In a face-to-face and online survey administered in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, we asked participants what barriers impede their household from taking action to address climate change. Using thematic analysis, seven main barriers were identified: (i) everyday life; (ii) awareness of climate change; (iii) lack of perceived locus of control; (iv) physical limitations of the dwelling; (v) social, (vi) regulatory; and (vii) economic. Given the significant potential effects of climate change in the Nuevo Leon region, a better understanding of the barriers that prevent households from addressing climate change will inform the development of targeted guidelines and strategies to address changing climate.
