A comparative study on the energy generation through wastewater purification in microbial fuel cell

Rapid depletion of fossil fuel resources because of increase in energy demands and increasing of climate change phenomena due to global warming by green-house gases have raised demand for cleaner energy. Therefore, probing a simple and cost-effective electrochemical energy conversion and treatment technology is a promising as well as an alternative to produce power through the treatment of wastewater. The Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is thus an emerging technology device to treat wastewater and simultaneously producing green energy and reducing the energy crisis and global warming. This novel technology is cost effective as well as proves itself as an alternative energy source for off-grid power solutions.One of the major drawbacks for producing electricity from wastewater is that it’s low buffering capacity. A buffer is added to maintain pH, thus decreasing the voltage efficiency in microbial systems. In this study, the performance of the Single Chamber MFC is reported for the sodium bicarbonate buffer solution for the treatment of wastewater. Moreover, the results were compared with the various buffer solution as reported elsewhere. The different types of buffer solutions were compared like Phosphate Buffer Solution (PBS), Borax Buffer Solution, and Bicarbonate Buffer Solution to improve production of electrical energy. This communication tries to highlight the comparison of quantity, effectiveness, removal of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and analysis of free proton transfer rates, rate of diffusion and the electricity generated by different buffer solution. The optimum power density was found to be 50.25 mW/cm2 for the sodium bicarbonate buffer solution. A comparison among three types of Proton Exchange Membrane also make us aware of the power outputs in microbial fuel cells.

Assessment of Farmer’s Attitude and Social Vulnerability to Climate Change in the Semi-arid Region

This study was conducted in the semi-arid region, Agra of Uttar Pradesh, during 2016-19 to assess farmers’ perceptions and attitudes about climate change and farmers’ social vulnerability; and identify the significant factors that influence social vulnerability. Primary data was collected from 120 farmers using a well-structured interview schedule. Results revealed that most respondents recognized the decline in the rainfall quantum and rise in temperatures and the increase in the frequency of hot days and droughts. Almost all respondents believed that soil and water conservation measures were most effective in mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. The social vulnerability index illustrated that more than half of respondents were moderate socially vulnerable in climate-changing scenarios. The multiple regressions results confirmed that land size, total income, perception, knowledge, awareness of climate change phenomena, and adaptive capacity were significant predictor variables for social vulnerability to climate change. There is a need to improve knowledge and perception and change attitudes among the respondents through an educational campaign, mass media exposure, and individual contact with trained extension personnel to effectively cope with the consequences of climate change.

Zoysia Soil-Less Green Roof’s Performance: A Life Cycle Assessment

Abstract The use of green roofs is demonstrated to improve the energy performance of buildings, increase biodiversity, reduce environmental impacts of urban areas, and mitigate climate change phenomena. Their use on a large scale is desirable in the coming years. Still, the choice of the most suitable green roof design solution should also consider the impacts of their production. Within this study, the Life Cycle Assessment methodology was used to evaluate the environmental impact of a particular typology of soil-less green roofs ideated by an Italian company. In this lightweight green roof, the growing medium is replaced by recycled felt layers, filtration is guaranteed by geotextile, and a closed-loop sub-irrigation system fertilises the pre-growth lawn placed on the top. The extremely low weight of this system suggests an optimal use in building retrofitting scenarios, but its environmental implication was not known. The environmental impact of this product has been assessed with an attributional cradle-to-gate approach through four different methodologies (ReCiPe midpoint and endpoint H V1.1, Ecological footprint V1.01, and IPCC 2013 GWP 100y V1.0) using the ecoinvent v3, Agri-footprint 1.0, and ELCD database on the SimaPro 8.4.4.0 software. The IPCC method has shown a Global Warming Potential of 7.66 kg of CO2 eq. for 1 m2 of Pratotetto® green roof; however, the reuse of waste materials from the textile industry must be considered.

A Review of Groundwater Status and Problems due to Industrial Pollution: Case Study of Ghaziabad City

In India, the availability of groundwater is decreasing at an alarming rate. Both natural and anthropogenic factors are equally responsible for its declining. Groundwater usage for irrigation, manufacturing, construction activities, metallurgical operations and domestic consumption has resulted in over pumping leading to its exhaustion. Also the available groundwater is contaminated with heavy metal discharge from industrial waste. This is in addition to climate change phenomenon, which aggravate food and water security in India. Ground water managers are concerned about the diminishing water tables, mixing of salt water, exhaustion of aquifers, groundwater contamination and water logging. The water levels are declining each year by 1–2 m as reported from different areas of India. Pollution is also one of the serious issues. If this situation continues, in future, India might face major water crisis as it has groundwater as a source next to surface water. To overcome this problem Government of India has initiated several acts and regulations. But because of unawareness and insufficient infrastructure these measures have yet not fulfilled the need. In this paper, the status of groundwater is presented through a case study of Ghaziabad city. The groundwater scenario of the city, industrial discharge leading to groundwater pollution, its severe consequences, and measures to tackle these problems are shown in this paper.

Modeling the effects of climate change on the potential distribution of the rangeland species Gymnocarpus decander Forssk (case study: Arid region of southeastern Iran).

The phenomenon of climate change is the biggest environmental challenge in the world. Climate is a determinant factor in species distribution, and climate change will affect the species' abilities to occupy geographic regions. In this study which was conducted in May of 2019, spatio-temporal changes in potential habitats of Gymnocarpus decander were assessed using the MRI-CGCM3 climate change model for RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios for the near future (2041-2061) and far future (2061-2080) periods for this purpose, climatic variables of 24 synoptic stations across a case study, bio-climatic data and vegetation cover maps of G. decander were used. First, using the factor analysis process, the dimensions of the station-observed climatic variables were reduced to five factors with a total variance of 88.3%. Then, the region was divided into five homogeneous climatic regions using partitional clustering analysis. In this study by using the logistic regression modeling technique, the probability of the presence of the desired species for two groups of independent variables including climatic factors and bioclimatic variables in each of the groups was modeled. The results showed that the best models for determining the potential habitats of G. decander are logistic regression models in groups with independent bioclimatic variables. According to the results obtained from both scenarios, the habitats of G. decander species will decrease in the future. In the most optimistic case, about 8% of G. decander habitats will be lost by 2060 and about 12% by 2080. According to modeling results, currently, 48.2% total area of the region under study has a high potential for the presence of G. decander. Also, results indicate that region number 4 in this study with an altitude range of about 800-1250m, 16°C average temperature in the growing season and annual precipitation around 150-170mm is the major habitat for G. decander. According to climate change under the RCP2.6 scenario, the area of potential habitats of G. decander will decrease to 40% in the near future and 36.4% in the far future; and according to climate change under the RCP8.5 scenario, the area of potential habitats of G. decander will decrease to 23.9% in the near future and 32.5% in the far future. In the far future, because of the increase in total precipitation, some of the lost potential habitats during the near future will be suitable again for G. decander. Due to its stability in harsh environmental conditions, G. decander appears as a type-forming species in a wide range of natural habitats in the study area and is therefore important in terms of soil protection and forage production.

Émile Zola and the Literary Language of Climate Change

On 7 February 1861, John Tyndall, professor of natural philosophy, delivered a historical lecture: he could prove that different gases absorb heat to a very different degree, which implies that the temperate conditions provided for by the Earth's atmosphere are dependent on its particular composition of gases. The theoretical foundation of climate science was laid. Ten years later, on the other side of the Channel, a young and ambitious author was working on a comprehensive literary analysis of the French era under the Second Empire. Émile Zola had probably not heard or read of Tyndall's discovery. However, the article makes the case for reading Zola's Rougon-Macquart as an extensive story of climate change. Zola's literary attempts to capture the defining characteristic of the Second Empire led him to the insight that its various milieus were all part of the same ‘climate’: that of an all-encompassing warming. Zola suggests that this climate is man-made: the economic success of the Second Empire is based on heating, in a literal and metaphorical sense, as well as on stoking the steam-engines and creating the hypertrophic atmosphere of the hothouse that enhances life and maximises turnover and profit. In contrast to Tyndall and his audience, Zola sensed the catastrophic consequences of this warming: the Second Empire was inevitably moving towards a final débâcle, i.e. it was doomed to perish in local and ‘global’ climate catastrophes. The article foregrounds the supplementary status of Tyndall's physical and Zola's literary knowledge. As Zola's striking intuition demonstrates, literature appears to have a privileged approach to the phenomenon of man-induced climate change.

Regenerative Design - General Principles and Implementation Strategies in Building Design

Abstract The built environment, through the consumption of energy from non-renewable sources and the associated CO 2 emissions, as well as through the production of waste throughout its life cycle and the effects of soil and water degradation, contributes significantly not only to the phenomenon of climate change, but also to the irreversible degradation of the natural environment. The concept of regenerative design provides a framework for a holistic approach to these issues in order to identify the most effective remedies, proposing the restoration and regeneration of the global socio-ecological environment through a system of engineering practices suitable to the specific context. The defining aspects of the regeneration applied in the buildings sector refer to the architecture and inserting in the natural environment ensuring a healthy and well-being indoor environment, reducing to zero the consumption of energy from non-renewable sources and promoting renewable energy sources, minimizing carbon footprint by rational use of materials and waste management throughout the life cycle.

LOCAL BODIES’ EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND ACTIONS TO RAISE ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE PREFECTURE OF LARISSA IN GREECE

<p>The present research aimed at documenting the educational actions and programs about climate change that have been implemented in the Prefecture of Larissa, Greece, and at investigating whether their design and implementation aligns with the principles of adult learning. It also sought to examine whether the participants of these programs have developed environmental awareness and whether they have adapted to the new conditions created by climate change. Following a qualitative methodological approach, this research conducted semi-structured interviews with local bodies’ executives and educators who plan and organize educational programs and events within the scope of climate change. According to the findings of this study, the climate change-related programs implemented in the Prefecture of Larissa were mostly organized by public institutions, had a short duration, and did not always include a practical or experiential part. Their primary purpose was to lead to a more comprehensive approach towards environmental issues and to contribute to the citizens’ and professionals’ adaptation to the changes that have occurred due to climate change. Even though the analysis of target population needs and the program evaluation are generally considered as basic steps in the process of designing adult education programs, this study revealed that local institutions departed from following the abovementioned established practices. In the cases examined, the structure of the content and the implementation of the program were determined by the organizing bodies’ knowledge and capacity. Furthermore, the educational events that offered experiential activities contributed to the participants’ better understanding of the climate change phenomenon, motivated them to become more actively engaged with this issue and led them to the occasional undertaking of initiatives that signified their possible development of environmental awareness. The process of informing, raising awareness and helping people adapt to the consequences of climate change requires time, effort, and persistence by the local institutions and by the state, who can achieve these goals by properly designing and implementing programs that meet the educational needs of the target population.</p><p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0921/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Life Cycle Assessment on the Direct Recycling Aluminium Alloy AA6061 Chips and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC-AlR)

Metallic material processing plays a significant role in terms of global environmental impact which contributes to the climate change phenomena that is a serious international environmental concern and the subject of much research and debate. Thus, energy-and resource-efficient strategies in the metal shaping technology domain need to be identified urgently. A frequent theme in the debates that surround waste and resources management is the extent to which the recycling of metallic materials offers genuine benefits to the environment. Solid state recycling techniques allow the manufacture of high density aluminium alloy parts directly from production scrap. In this paper the environmental impacts associated with ‘meltless’ scrap processing routes through hot press forging process with varying parameter has been studied. A comparative analysis has been performed with two different type of materials which is recycling aluminium alloy (AA6061) chips and metal matrix composite (AA6061 chips + 2% alumina) in order to quantify and compare the environmental benefits for both materials. The LCA data are collected using Simapro 8.0.4 software. The additional materials used in a product resulted higher environmental impact. Metal matrix composite had higher value of mid point and endpoint impact categories compare to aluminium alloy chips.

Increased pulmonary circulatory disease diagnosis risk associated with heatwave

RationaleObservational studies suggest that increased chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) risk is associated with prolonged, high ambient temperatures (i.e., heatwaves). Yet, reports of pulmonary circulatory disease (PCD) risk associated with heatwaves are elusive. Faced with evidence of a changing global climate, local public health practitioners must now assess disease risk associated with climate change phenomena in their communities. ObjectiveDetermine the relative odds of pulmonary circulatory diagnosis among subjects admitted to hospital emergency departments (EDs) from 29 May 2012 to 3 August 2012 and subjects admitted to the ED during the same calendar days in 2011 in Douglas County, NE. Methods and resultsA retrospective, observational, case-control design was used to estimate PCD diagnosis risk using conditional logistic regression. The estimated PCD diagnosis odds ratio was 4.35 (95% CI = 1.08 – 17.57). ConclusionIn Douglas County NE the risk of PCD diagnoses was higher in the ED population admitted from 28 May to 3 August 2012 than the ED population admitted during the same calendar days in 2011.

The gap of cultural heritage protection with climate change adaptation in the context of spatial planning. The case of Greece

The case of cultural resources, and in particular of archaeological sites, is one of the key elements of the anthropogenic environment that is affected by climate change and needs protection. At the same time, it is a field of analysis allowing the understanding of the interactions and interconnections of natural and socio-economic systems in time and in different spatial scales, thus providing useful information on the phenomenon of climate change and on how to respond and adapt to it [1]. However, the related scientific research, policies and actions are still limited, as only in the last decade [2] there has been an (albeit ever-increasing) interest in this field. The main objective of this paper is to codify protection policies and to identify a typology of actions for major archaeological sites with tourist interest in Greece, in order to identify a framework for spatial planning to meet the challenges of reducing the effects of climate change such as: the adoption of an integrated design approach to the protection of cultural heritage rather than a traditional conservation approach; linking the cultural heritage with the natural environment; Bridging existing gaps and redefining cultural heritage in dynamic and spatial terms for both climate change adaptation and also emergency preparedness and disaster risk reduction.

Vulnerability analysis of capture fisheries to climate change based on the Province Scale (exposure and sensitivity analysis)

Fisheries has a major contribution for the Indonesian economy both on a local and national scale. However, the phenomenon of climate change can threaten the sustainability of this sector. Therefore, a scientific approach is needed to determine the level of risk and adaptation strategies for fisheries, one of which is through vulnerability analysis. Vulnerability is the final analysis resulted from the analysis of sensitivity and exposure. Both of these analyses are important to determine the parameters that will affect the value of the fishery vulnerability to climate change. This research is focused on sensitivity and exposure analysis with the coverage limit is the province area to determine the sensitivity and exposure index that exists in the study area. The result will be important input in further research for the vulnerability of capture fisheries to climate change. Three provinces in Indonesia were selected through purposive sampling method. The source of data for indices variables were using recorded data in 2009-2020 from relevant sources. Result described that SST variability in the three provinces has the same pattern. In the exposure analysis, the SST is linked to the catch resulting in different exposure statuses in each province. It also illustrated those areas with a very high number of fishermen and catches will have very high sensitivity. The research will support in the sustainable management of capture fish at the province scale.

Emission performance of major ship classes: An estimation based on a new set of emission factors and realistic activity profile data

The maritime sector significantly contributes on the major environmental problems that humanity is being confronted with their consequences. The Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) emitted from the sector, which are responsible for the global phenomenon of climate change, are estimated in 2,89% of total anthropogenic GHGs. Ships are also an important source of local air-quality degradation in coastal areas by emitting major quantities of pollutants such as Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Sulphur Oxides (SOx) and Particulate Matter (PM). The overall emitted quantities of the sector seem not to be equally allocated to the major ship classes (containers, dry and liquid bulk carriers, cruise ships, ro-ro ships etc.), even though the engine technologies that are being used in these classes are approximately the same (slow speed, medium speed, high speed diesel engines). A factor of differentiation among the ship types is the activity profile. Depending on the ship type, engines (main, auxiliary, boilers) present different power needs and therefore are being operated at different load points which among others are related with the sailing profile (cruising, maneuvering, hoteling), the cargo type and weight conditions (laden, ballast). In this context the target of the present paper is to evaluate the emission performance of the major ship classes. This evaluation is performed by using a new set of engine load-dependent Emission Factors for ships, which have been derived by a statistical analysis of emission rates found in literature, in combination with average activity profiles per ship type as these are found in dedicated shipping inventory databases and in literature. These activity data concern a global scale of consideration. Results aim to highlight the differences and similarities in the emission performance of ship types, enhancing the understanding of policy makers and ship operators, on the principle of tackling pollutants especially at ports, close to cities.

Effectiveness of passive climate change adaptation measures in Switzerland: A climate-based analysis on natural ventilation and overheating risks reduction in dwellings

Building energy codes have been implemented in Switzerland as well as across the world to reduce building energy consumption, however, due to the progressive effect of climate change phenomena and the precipitate change in occupancy patterns due to the global pandemic, their effectiveness and limitations must be constantly re-examined. This paper explores the effectiveness of natural ventilation as a passive cooling strategy, as well as the overheating patterns in dwellings across the Swiss territory. The work is based on a climate-based simulation model at a territorial scale, from which the building performance is further analysed considering the heating energy consumption and overheating risk hours above 26.5°C. The effectiveness of natural ventilation through the operable window operable area in reducing overheating risk was also estimated. The results show the effectiveness across the whole territory of the current regulation (SIA 380/1:2016), which is focused on the performance of the building envelope to reduce heat losses. An unattended alarming overheating pattern was spotted in locations with altitudes below 1500 meters as a direct consequence of the climate change phenomena, hence a series of recommendations are proposed to update and improve the current legal requirements.

Landscapes Vulnerability on Climate Change in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia

Whether climate change is real or not, the daily basis phenomena and its evidences should be our concern nowadays. Yogyakarta is one of the provinces that are vulnerable to the impact of climate change in Indonesia. The specific responses to climate change phenomena in Yogyakarta province are indirectly correlated to landscape characteristics. These characteristics are important aspects for the assessment and development of new approaches to address the impacts of climate change. Therefore, this paper presents the status of landscape vulnerability to climate change in Yogyakarta province to consider the issues of mitigation and adaptation to climate change. Analytical hierarchy process (AHP) was applied to determine the objective of the research. The results of previous studies were reviewed in depth and combined with field observations to build a strong argument before evaluating the matrices and weights in the AHP steps. The result analysis showed that the most vulnerable landscape in Yogyakarta province is the anthropogenic landscape, which is located in Yogyakarta city. Furthermore, the combination of population density and poor sanitation management should be considered as a factor in mitigating and adapting to climate change in Yogyakarta city.

Preface

2nd International Conference on Cultural Communication & Space (ICCCS) CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Level 1, GDLN Building, Udayana University Denpasar CampusJl. P.B. Sudirman, Denpasar - Bali (80232), Indonesia5 August 2021https://icccs.unud.ac.id Gusti Ayu Made Suartika In 1896 the Swedish scientist and Noble Prize winner Svante Arrhenius showed that a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide would result on earth in increased surface temperature of 5-6 degrees Celsius. His warning has largely gone unheeded for the last 124 years, and we are already in an era of disaster management now guaranteed to get significantly worse. The response of nature is ubiquitous and terrifying-prolonged drought, bushfires, extreme flooding, unbearable heat waves, freezing storms, rising sea water levels, melting polar icecaps and glaciers, coastal abrasion, and other phenomena. Some believe these conditions are natural - the adopted manner by which the earth chooses to rejuvenate itself and therefore to deny we have any responsibility for its effects. Climate change sceptics promote ‘fake news’ largely to perpetuate business interests for a few more years, in a lemming like rush towards disaster. Or as O’Connor’s second law states, ‘capitalism always destroys the source of its own success.’Nature’s responses to centuries of abuse do not however address the human cost of global warming – everything from health issues, increasing costs of social services, the loss of livelihood and property, and the potential adaptation of our entire built environment in the interests of survival. The 2nd International Conference on Cultural Communication and Space (ICCCS) promotes the viewpoint that concerted action is needed across a wide range of offensives – providing alternative energy sources; remodelling the built environment; reducing both personal and industrial consumption of nature, radically changing political systems, an immediate triple bottom line approach to all business, and a sceptical view of technology as having any capacity to ameliorate the above problems. Even then a sustainable planet might not result.While many academic events have discussed these matters across the whole spectrum of problems, we focus here on the built environment in relation to climate change phenomena and its required responses to culture and space. Given the above considerations, this second ICCCS focuses on the following topics of conversation that address the significant policies and practices of climate change:List of CONFERENCE INFORMATION are available in this pdf.

Water Supply Reliability of Agricultural Reservoirs under Varying Climate and Rice Farming Practices

Technological development and climate change dictate farming practices, which can directly affect irrigation water requirement and supply. In this article, the water supply reliability (WSR) of 62 major Korean agricultural reservoirs was comprehensively evaluated for varying climate and farming practices. Field surveys identified the recent divergence from standard rice farming practices and a 45-year daily weather data set (1973–2017) was examined to understand the phenomenon of climate change. Effective rainfall increments mitigated the imminent surges in rice irrigation water requirements driven by warming-led accelerated crop evapotranspiration rates; therefore, climate change marginally influenced the WSR of selected reservoirs. The transplanting period and associated water consumption were the primary deviations from standard rice farming practices. A significantly prolonged transplanting period seriously compromised the WSR of agricultural reservoirs and the maximum number of unsafe reservoirs was detected for a 24-day increase in the transplanting period. A watershed/irrigated area ratio of less than 2.5 was the lower threshold below which all the reservoirs had unsafe WSR regardless of the climate change and/or farming practices. Recent variations in farming practices were the primary cause of reservoir failure in maintaining the WSR.

Impact of drought stress on biochemical responses, energy, and water productivity on maize forage (Zea mays L.)

Drought stress is the most important limiting factor in crop plants including maize (Zea mays L.), which is the third important world crop after wheat and rice. To examine the quantity and quality of forage as well as energy and water productivity of two maize varieties to drought stress, a field experiment was carried out as a split plot based on a completely randomized block design with three replications in Isfahan, Iran, during 2017 and 2018 growing seasons. The main and sub-plots were three irrigation regimes (100%, 80, and 60% full irrigation) and two maize varieties (704 and Maxima), respectively. Data analysis showed that drought stress harmed wet and dry forage yield and energy productivity, while its effect was positive on some forage quality such as ash, neutral detergent fiber (NDF), hemicellulose free cell wall (ADF), and lignin (ADL). Based on results, drought stress of 60% full irrigation resulted in reduced wet and dry forage maize yields. In addition, drought stress affected relationships among measured traits. According to increasing dried fodder and decreasing output energy under stress conditions, early mature variety Maxima is more proper to be used under drought stress. Besides, the Maxima variety was shown to be a suitable variety due to increasing dry matter and crude protein as well as decrease ADF and ADL than the 704 variety.Article HighlightsWe submit an original research article entitled Effect of water stress on forage yield and quality and water and energy productivity in Maize (Zea mays L.). In this paper, we indicated regarding to impacts of climate change phenomenon throughout the world on crop production, especially in arid regions such as Iran, choosing proper variety can be one of the best candidates to provide for forage. The results of present paper have shown that the drought stress had no effect on water productivity of two maize varieties. The superiority of some forage quality traits in drought stress compared to the control in maize means that in drought conditions, maize forage can be used and increase the profitability of livestock products.

The chronopolitics of the Anthropocene: The pandemic and our sense of time

By drawing on the phenomena of anthropogenic climate change and the pandemic as two examples of the geologists’ idea of the Anthropocene, this article seeks to explain how the Anthropocene leads to a plurality of overlapping but conflicting temporalities for humans. This problem of time makes it difficult to imagine any globally concerted effort to deal with the Anthropocene or climate change as such.

Study of ENSO impact on agricultural food crops price as basic knowledge to improve community resilience in climate change

Climate change has become an pivotal issue and impacted on the socio-economic community because it contributes not only to prolonged land droughts and fires in the dry season but also to increased rainfall and flooding in the wet season. One of the climate change phenomena in Indonesia is El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) consisting of El Nino and La Nina. The ENSO phenomenon drives rainfall variability that impacts on the agricultural sector which depends on water availability. The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of El Nino and La Nina on the prices of six agricultural food crops using static panel data. The data used consist of 23 provinces affected by El Nino and La Nina in 2010-2017. Rainfall is used as a proxy for El Nino and La Nina, supported by a negative and significant correlation between Oceanic Nino Index (ONI) and rainfall. The results showed that El Nino has greater impacts on food prices than La Nina by increasing the price of rice, sweet potato, and mung bean. While La Nina has a significant impact in increasing the price of cassava. Considering the importance of food crops for Indonesians, efforts can be made to improve community resilience, such as using adaptive varieties of climate, developing agricultural insurance, time and planting patterns adjustment and agroforestry patterns for communities nearby the forests in the framework of climate change mitigation and adaptation. Ultimately, this study can provide important insights to formulate effective mitigation and adaptation strategies to minimize the climate change impact.
