Cambio climático, riesgos naturales y tecnológicos en el contexto de los modelos de desarrollo

Abstract

Climate change is a true reality as long as we understand the crisis that is happening on our planet�s climate, particularly marked from the middle of last century. Natural fluctuations in carbon dioxide concentration and the oscillations of the orbital planet�s parameters have been amplified by the system of ocean currents and the sequence of freezing and thawing areas in the circumpolar Arctic. Thus, it is considered that carbon sinks are a solution to mitigate the effects of climate change. The pressures that climate change can result in ecosystems (land, water,...), is a significant additional pressure on terrestrial ecosystems, already seriously affected today by pollution, overexploitation and land fragmentation. Finally, we stop at the analysis of the Spanish reality
