Climate Change. 1. The Parties recognize that the climate change and its adverse effects are a common concern. In that sense, and under their international commitments, the Parties agree to promote joint measures to limit or reduce the adverse effects of the climate change. 2. For promoting sustainable development, each Party, within its own capacities, shall adopt policies and measures on issues such as: (a) improvement of energy efficiency; (b) research, promotion, development and use of new and renewable energy, technologies of carbon dioxide capture, and updated and innovative environmental technologies that do not affect food security or the conservation of biological diversity; and (c) measures for evaluating the vulnerability and adaptation to climate change.
Climate Change. 1. The Parties recognise the common global threat of climate change and the need for all countries to take action to cut emissions in order to stabilise greenhouse-gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. Within the scope of their respective competences, and without prejudice to discussions in other fora, such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Parties shall enhance cooperation in this field. Such cooperation shall aim at but not be limited to:
Climate Change. 1. The Parties acknowledge climate change as a global and urgent concern that requires collective action consistent with the overall goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Within the scope of their respective competences and without prejudice to discussions in other fora, the Parties agree to cooperate in areas of joint interest, including but not limited to:
Climate Change. Levy (“CCL”) No amounts that you are required to pay in line with clauses 3 and 4 of this contract include the CCL. Where the CCL applies, we will add the CCL to your prices at the relevant rate from time to time. If you do not have to pay the CCL, it is your responsibility to provide us with evidence of this by sending us your supplier certificate (form PP1 1) to the following address. Freepost EDF CUSTOMER CORRESPONDENCE. We have the right to continue to charge you extra for the CCL until you send us your supplier certificate to the address above.
Climate Change. 1. The Parties, recognising the need for an urgent, deep and sustained reduction in global emissions of greenhouse gases so as to hold the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, will take the lead in combating climate change and the adverse effects thereof, including through domestic and international actions to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The Parties shall cooperate, where appropriate, under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, done at New York on 9 May 1992 to achieve the objective of that Convention, in implementing the Paris Agreement, done at Paris on 12 December 2015, and to strengthen the multilateral legal frameworks. They shall also seek to enhance cooperation in other relevant international fora.
Climate Change. 64A. The State agrees to manage its Forests in accordance with the NFPS objectives and policies as they relate to climate change, adaptation and carbon. The Parties acknowledge:
Climate Change. 1. Bearing in mind the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (hereinafter referred to as ‘UNFCCC’) and the Kyoto Protocol, the Parties recognise that climate change is an issue of common and global concern that calls for the widest possible cooperation by all countries and their participation in an effective and appropriate international response, for the benefit of present and future generations of mankind.
Climate Change. The First Party shall in no circumstances be held responsible for climate or weather change. The second Party takes this risk entirely at its own expense.

Climate Change. Climate change impacts on DSL populations have not been studied, and therefore, are not well understood. An increase in drought frequency and intensity has been shown to be occurring throughout the range of the DSL Habitat (Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2015). In addition, it’s expected, according to some predictions, that, in the future, West Texas will experience greater variability in seasonal precipitation patterns with the greatest net loss experienced in winter (Xxxxx and Xxxx, 2012). Because lizards are ectothermic, ambient temperatures affect their physiological performance and influence their daily activities (Sartorius et al., 2002). Daily DSL activity, for instance, declines as air and substrate temperatures increase due to thermoregulatory constraints (Sartorius et al., 2002; Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2011). It is possible that by altering the temperature and precipitation conditions that characterize shinnery oak dune habitat, there may be corresponding impacts on the DSL and its habitat. On average, surface air temperatures across Texas are predicted to increase by 3°C (5.4°F) by 2099 (Xxxxx and Xxxx, 2012). Further, in the southwest United States, temperature increases, according to some predictions will likely be concentrated in the summer months. In Texas, the number of days exceeding 95°F may double by 2050 (IPCC, 2013; Xxx et al., 2008; Xxxxxxxxxx et al., 2015). While shinnery oak is highly adapted for arid conditions, prolonged periods of drought may inhibit growth and reproduction. Shinnery oak clones may reach 50 feet in diameter, making large areas of dune habitat vulnerable in the event of climate-induced oak mortality (Xxxxxx, 2006). Historically, natural groundwater discharge from the Cenozoic Alluvium aquifer characterized the Monahans dune system as “wet eolian,” where a shallow water table stabilized sand beneath the dune deposits (Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 1959). The impact of climate change in this area is uncertain, but may affect regional groundwater availability. Limited recharge due to altered hydrologic conditions may increase competition for groundwater resources, and the drilling of new xxxxx to access water resources may increase surface disturbance in DSL Habitat.
