He said that ETCCDI recommended simple climate indices based on temperature and precipitation data. The Team had produced standardized and freely available software to calculate consistently derived indices for exchange between researchers. (...) Maps showing differences in monthly average maximum temperature between the present (2006-2010) and the future (2056-2060) were shown for different grid cell resolutions. (...) Almost all submitted questionnaires indicated that participants found their expertise very well suited to the meeting, which had provided them with an excellent opportunity to exchange information with other experts. 39. The majority of participants (82 per cent) indicated that they would like follow-up activities on the establishment of the Arab climate outlook forum and on information exchange between all stakeholders.

The main drivers for the increase of sand and dust storms, specifically in arid and semi-arid areas, are the drastic changes in annual rainfall, temperature and droughts as a result of climate change and unsustainable land management and water use. (...) A/71/999 17-13677 11/12 Annex III to the letter dated 28 July 2017 from the Chargé d’affaires a.i. of the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General Tehran Ministerial Declaration We, the Ministers and high-level representatives participating in the International Conference on Combating Sand and Dust Storms: Having met in Tehran to exchange views and share experiences and best practices in combating sand and dust storms and to contribute to global and regional efforts to put forward a concerted and collective response to this serious challenge, Recalling General Assembly resolutions 70/195 and 71/219, United Nations Environment Assembly resolution 2/21, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Congress Decision Cg-XV/3.3.3.6 and Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific resolution 72/7, in which it was acknowledged that sand and dust storms pose a daunting challenge to the sustainable development of affected countries, including and in particular in Asia and Africa, and that coordinated prompt measures are needed to address it at the national, regional and global levels, Acknowledging that sand and dust storms, which are on the rise in terms of severity and frequency in many parts of the world, are detrimental to human health, agricultural land, livelihoods, coastal and marine environment, infrastructure and the socioeconomic systems in all affected countries, Fully aware that sand and dust storms occur because of the natural biogeochemical cycles of the Earth and human-induced factors, including climate change and unsustainable land management and water use, Recognizing the negative impact of sand and dust storms on some countries and regions that are far away from their hotspots, owing to their transboundary nature, Further recognizing that combating the challenge of sand and dust storms requires concerted and collaborative global, regional and subregional as well as national responses to address this phenomenon, and also underlining the role of the United Nations in promoting international cooperation and partnerships among countries and other relevant stakeholders to combat sand and dust storms, Agree to cooperate on combating sand and dust storms at the subregional, regional and international levels on the following: 1. Share information, lessons learned and best practices, exchange views and expertise, develop mitigation and adaptation policies and measures, and exchange technical and monitored data and forecasting information to reduce the risk of sand and dust storms; 2.

A global pathway to limit the increase in global mean surface temperature to less than 2 ºC above pre- industrial levels, as presented in the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), was often referred to in this context. (...) Based on more recent scientific information that has been made available since the publication of the IPCC AR4, some Parties expressed the view that the increase in global mean surface temperature should be limited to well below 1.5 ºC above pre-industrial levels, and that atmospheric GHG concentrations should be stabilized at levels well below 350 ppm CO2 eq.
