It is difficult to pinpoint the specific human consequences of climate change on respective populations. Qualitative information is examined based on interviewees' testimonies and personal experience, and consequences of uneven development
in Kiribati and Tuvalu, two atoll nations. Strong evidence is found that recent influxes in population movements to urban central islands from rural outer islands can be attributed to a combination of the adverse impacts of climate change and socioeconomic

This paper examines the combined modelling of climate change and urban development impacts on water quantity and quality. Hydrological impacts of climate change and urban development are likely to significantly affect future water resource
of climate change and the vulnerability of people in different regions of the world. This study analyses students’ ideas about the vulnerability of people in Germany and Africa due to global climate change. A model of threats and vulnerability perception has
