Monitoring of climate change impacts on biodiversity species in Niumi National Park
Lamin Jobaate
West African Bird Study Association, Gambia
C limate change has become a burning issue in the 21st century. These negative impacts are causing serious harm to the living beings
particularly the biodiversity. These current monitoring activities were done in Niumi National Park in Gambia in order to assert
the extent of the negative impacts of change impacts on biodiversity species in Niumi National Park and to come out with a possible
recommendation for future actions. The monitoring activities were done in eight sample sites, comprise of the following: monitoring
of birds populations in eight sites, shell fish measuring and counting, monitoring of the status of mangroves and its growth rate,
sampling the soil to determine the amount of soluble salt in the soil organic matters and soil pH, water sampling to determine
temperature, turbidity, salinity, etc., socio economic survey on the fish stock and the state of fish stock before and now.
The search for effectiveness of the Paris agreement
Luciane Martins De Araujo
Federal University of Goiás, Brazil
The aim of this paper is to analyze the Paris Agreement, which was published in the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties
on Climate Change, COP 21 that took place in December 2015 in Paris, France. The importance of this theme for reaching
the sustainable development goals, including the climate action, is equally analyzed. The study’s starting points are the Framework
Convention on Climate Change published in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 at the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development and its consequently interaction for sustainable development; and the achievements and failures within the Conference
of the Parties and the COP 21, which resulted in a document of great international repercussion especially because of the urgent
necessity of adopting measures against the climate changes which have dramatically affected life on Earth. This paper’s main approach
is the discussion of the effectiveness of the objectives laid down in the Agreement. These objectives include measures of mitigation,
adaptation, damage reduction, liability. Additionally, financing resources and technology transfer are directed to developing
countries to put into effect such measures for making it possible to cope with climate change. In order to achieve the objectives of
the Paris Agreement and its interaction with the sustainable development goals, this paper makes a parallel between the principles
of cooperation and information, highlighting environmental education which is included in international analyzed documents of
climate change and in two of the goals of sustainable development, namely quality education and partnerships for the goals. In
conclusion, for giving effectiveness to the COP 21, it is imperative to develop a environmental education and culture of solidarity
among peoples and nations so that every member of society assumes their responsibility towards the climate change issue, since this
problem belongs to everyone and must be seriously faced primarily by developed countries. Developing countries are not excluded
from searching for new courses of action towards sustainable development in order to guarantee the continuity of life in our planet.
