But they also seem to address managing climate variability, not climate change.
Forest fires have been increasing in remote regions of North America during the past decade due to prolonged drought periods and climate variability.
Glaciers of the tropical Andes, indicators of the global climate variability.
Each of the eight FRIEND networks shares information, data and techniques, in order to monitor climate variability and change in river basins in a given region.
Farming is thus highly vulnerable to climate variability and change.
Natural climate variability, from seasonal to multi-year scale, has produced significant effects in the Latin American countries, which suggests that climatic change projections constitute an important element for national and regional planning.
The Global Framework for Climate Services (GFCS), a UN system-wide initiative, will amplify the benefits from global to national levels of efforts to adapt to climate variability and change for improved health, water management, disaster risk reduction, agriculture and food security from 2013.
Groundwater response to global changes is a complex function that depends on climate change and variability, topography, aquifer characteristics, vegetation dynamics, and human activities.
The key message from the workshop included the need to link climate change and variability responses to develop necessary flood forecasting and management capacity in Pakistan.
This book presents a current and global synthesis of scientific findings and policy recommendations for scientists, water managers and policy makers towards adaptive management of groundwater sustainability under future climate change and variability.
It is exactly these data sets, and observations of remnants of past climate changes, that allow us to understand the variability in our climate at all.

Researchers are still struggling to disentangle the effects of man-made emissions of carbon dioxide from the natural variability of the climate.
In this new climate, there is much greater variability of performance, according to Ross Davies, a specialist in retailing at Oxford University's Templeton College.
The Berkeley group does depart from the "orthodox" picture of climate science in its depiction of short-term variability in the global temperature.
The five-year mean global temperature has been flat for the last decade, which we interpret as a combination of natural variability and a slow down in the growth rate of net climate forcing.
FORBES: Yes! We Should Defund The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change
"For multi-decadal variability, over the historical period, the major cause was aerosols as opposed to climate change or ocean acidification, " he explained.
