“…NbS and costs were obtained from the World Bank (2019). The methodology used to obtain this information included literature review (Atreya et al, 2008; Dahal & Bajracharya, 2013; ICIMOD, 2007; Paudel et al, 2017; Shrestha, 2016), official reports from the Department of Forests and Soil Conservation, Government of Nepal, and stakeholder consultation during two workshops held in October 2017 and January 2019 in Kathmandu (World Bank, 2019). Costs of each NbS reflect gross costs of the initial establishment and the maintenance costs borne by the landholders adopting the practice.…”

Optimal allocation of nature‐based solutions to achieve climate mitigation and adaptation goals

Nature‐based solutions (NbS) can prevent further climate change and increase local communities' capacity to adapt to the current impacts of climate change. However, the benefits obtained from implementing NbS are not distributed equally across people. Thus, it is key to further understand how people are impacted when implementing NbS. We developed a multi‐objective prioritization approach to identify changes in (i) the biophysical provision of ecosystem services, (ii) optimal allocation of NbS and (iii) monetary benefits when targeting climate mitigation versus climate adaptation goals. We used the increase in metric tons of carbon storage as representative of climate mitigation and the decrease in on‐site and downstream tons of sediment per year as representative of climate adaptation. Planning strategies that target climate mitigation or climate adaptation goals separately represent a loss of between 30% and 60% of the maximum possible carbon sequestration or sediment retention benefits. Conversely, targeting climate mitigation and climate adaptation goals at the same time captured more than 90% of the maximum possible benefits for all objectives. Priority NbS in the mitigation planning strategy included soil and water conservation and forest rehabilitation, while priority NbS in the adaptation planning strategy included grassland rehabilitation and hill terrace improvement. Targeting mitigation and adaptation goals at the same time captures 35M USD (89% of the maximum attainable) in value of carbon restored and retained, and 2M USD (100% of the maximum attainable) of avoided maintenance costs to the KGA hydropower plant. Conversely, failing to incorporate adaptation goals when developing climate plans only captures 1M of avoided maintenance costs to the KGA hydropower plant. Our approach can be replicated in other locations to promote cost‐effective investments in NbS able to secure both global and local benefits to people. This can improve the outcomes of international climate change financial schemes like the Green Climate Fund and the UN‐REDD+ program.

“…[12] Under his study, in Africa while agroforestry may play a significant role in mitigating the atmospheric accumulation of greenhouse gases (GHG), it also has a role to play in helping smallholder farmers adapt to climate change. With the majority of research, in Africa, of all agricultural land management activities suggested for GHG mitigation, agroforestry practices have been the most widely applied and studied too [18]. [19] Under reviewed paper, clarified agroforestry as a coping mechanism with the adverse impact of climate change and it provides a unique opportunity to combine the twin objectives of climate change adaptation and mitigation.…”

Climate change is widely accepted that human activities are now increasingly influencing changes in global climate. Carbon emission is higher from deforestation and forest degradation. However, this can be managed through the sustainable management of land and forest. Thus, the purpose of this review paper is to present the compiled studies which have been done on the potential of agroforestry in climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. The enhancement of forest C stocks through agroforestry can be considered as one of the main options for reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere Agroforestry is a unique extensive action involving the integration of woody plants with crop and livestock components. Therefore, in the recent decades, the role of agroforestry in climate change mitigation received strong attention. Thus, the greatest role of agroforestry in relation to climate change is in mitigating the emissions of CO2 by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. Because the adoption of agroforestry practice has greater potential to increase C sequestration of predominantly agriculture dominated landscapes than the monocrop agriculture.

De Novo and recurrent thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) after renal transplantation: current concepts in management

Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) is a well-recognized complication of kidney transplantation that leads frequently to allograft failure. This serious outcome depends greatly on the underlying etiology as well as the timing of therapeutic interventions. TMA syndromes may occur with no previous history of TMA, i.e., de novo TMA, mostly due to medications or infection, or more frequently recurs after kidney transplantation i.e., recurrent TMA in patients with ESRF due to the atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). On the other hand, patients with shiga-toxin induced HUS (classic HUS), particularly in childhood has a favorable prognosis. One of the fundamental tools of management of this disease is the genetic screening for abnormal mutations, determination of which will recognize the tools of therapy and consequently outcome of the disease to a large extent. While patients with CFH and CFI mutations have a worse prognosis, other patients with MCP mutations-for example- have a more favorable prognosis. Accordingly, plan of therapy can be thoroughly drawn with a better chance of cure. Unfortunately, the successful use of the biological agent “eculizumab”, an anti-C5 agent, in some of these syndromes is largely impeded by its high cost linked to its use as a life-long therapy. However, a new therapeutic option has been recently admitted ameliorating this drawback and improve the cost-effectiveness balance.
