An assessment of the economic impact of climate change on the agriculture sector in Trinidad And Tobago

The economic impact of climate change on root crop, fisheries and vegetable production for Trinidad and Tobago under the A2 and B2 scenarios were modeled, relative to a baseline ―no climate change‖ case, where the mean temperature and rainfall for a base period of 1980 – 2000 was assumed for the years up to 2050. Production functions were used, using ARMA specifications to correct for serial autocorrelation. For the A2 scenarios, rainfall is expected to fall by approximately 10% relative to the baseline case in the 2020s, but is expected to rise thereafter, until by the 2040s rainfall rises slightly above the mean for the baseline case. For the B2 scenario, rainfall rose slightly above the mean for the baseline case in the current decade, but falls steadily thereafter to approximately 15% by the 2040s. Over the same period, temperature is expected to increase by 1.34C and 1.37C under A2 and B2 respectively. It is expected that any further increase in rainfall should have a deleterious effect on root crop production as a whole, since the above mentioned crops represent the majority of the root crops included in the study. Further expected increases in temperature will result in the ambient temperature being very close to the optimal end of the range for most of these crops. By 2050, the value of yield cumulative losses (2008$) for root crops is expected to be approximately 248.8 million USD under the A2 scenario and approximately 239.4 million USD under the B2 scenario. Relative to the 2005 catch for fish, there will be a decrease in catch potential of 10 - 20% by 2050 relative to 2005 catch potentials, other things remaining constant. By 2050 under the A2 and B2 scenarios, losses in real terms were estimated to be 160.2 million USD and 80.1 million USD respectively, at a 1% discount rate. For vegetables, the mean rainfall exceeds the optimal rainfall range for sweet peppers, hot peppers and melongene. However, while the optimal rainfall level for tomatoes is 3000mm/yr, other vegetables such as sweet peppers, hot peppers and ochroes have very low rainfall requirements (as low as 300 mm/yr). Therefore it is expected that any further decrease in rainfall should have a mixed effect on individual vegetable production. It is expected that any further increase in temperature should have a mixed effect on individual vegetable production, though model results indicated that as a group, an increase in temperature should have a positive impact on vegetable production. By 2050, the value of yield cumulative gains (2008$) for vegetables is expected to be approximately 54.9 million USD under the A2 scenario and approximately 49.1 million USD under the B2 scenario, given a 1% discount rate. For root crops, fisheries and vegetables combined, the cumulative loss under A2 is calculated as approximately 352.8 million USD and approximately 270.8 million USD under B2 by 2050. This is equivalent to 1.37% and 1.05% of the 2008 GDP under the A2 and B2 scenarios respectively by 2050. Sea Level Rise (SLR) by 2050 is estimated to be 0.255 m under A2 and 0.215 m under B2. GIS estimation indicated that for a 0.255 m sea level rise, combined with a 0.5 m high tide, there would be no permanent inundation of agricultural land in Trinidad. The total inundation area is 1.18 km2. This occurs only in the Caroni Watershed, on the western coast of Trinidad, and the areas are outside the Caroni Swamp. Even with an additional rise of 0.5 m to simulate a high rainfall event, the estimated inundated area is 4.67 km2, but with no permanent inundation, though likely to be subject to flooding. Based on eleven (11) evaluation criteria, the top potential adaptation options were identified: 1. Use of water saving irrigation systems and water management systems e.g. drip irrigation; 2. Mainstream climate change issues into agricultural management; 3. Repair/maintain existing dams; 4. Alter crop calendar for short-term crops; 5. Adopt improved technologies for soil conservation; 6. Establish systems of food storage; 7. Promote water conservation – install on-farm water harvesting off roof tops; 8. Design and implement holistic water management plans for all competing uses; 9. Build on- farm water storage (ponds and tanks); 10. Agricultural drainage; and 11. Installation of greenhouses. The most attractive adaptation options, based on the Benefit-Cost Ratio are: (1) Build on- farm water storage such as ponds and tanks (2) Mainstreaming climate change issues into agricultural management and (3) Water Harvesting. However, the options with the highest net benefits are, (in order of priority): (1) Build on- farm water storage such as ponds and tanks, (2) Mainstreaming climate change issues into agricultural management and (3) Use of drip irrigation. Based on the area burnt in Trinidad and Tobago between 2005 and 2009, the average annual loss due to fires is 1717.3 ha. At US$17.41 per carbon credit, this implies that for the total land lost to forest fires on average each year, the opportunity cost of carbon credit revenue is 74.3 million USD. If a teak reforestation programme is undertaken in Trinidad and Tobago, the net benefit of reforestation under a carbon credit programme would be 69 million USD cumulatively to 2050.

Consumo de proteína animal em aldeias de terra firme e de várzea da terra indígena Uaçá, Amapá, Brasil

Estudei, entre abril e junho de 2004, o consumo de proteína animal em sete aldeias de terra firme e oito aldeias de várzea na Terra Indígena (TI) Uaçá utilizando calendários diários de consumo. A TI Uaçá localiza-se no município de Oiapoque, no extremo norte do Estado do Amapá, e faz divisas com as Terras Indígenas Juminã e Galibi e com o Parque Nacional de Cabo Orange. A TI Uaçá é habitada por aproximadamente 4.500 índios das etnias Palikur, Karipuna e Galibi-Marworno em uma área de 470.164 ha, onde ocorrem grandes porções de campos sazonalmente alagados (várzeas), terra firme e pequenas manchas de cerrado. Durante o período de estudo, que na região corresponde à época de cheias, foram distribuídos 243 calendários em 83 casas das aldeias de terra firme e em 160 casas das aldeias de várzea. Cada calendário era composto por um conjunto de desenhos representando as diferentes fontes de proteína animal disponíveis para o consumo e os moradores marcavam em cada dia o que haviam consumido. Nas análises, foram utilizados somente 55 calendários das aldeias de terra firme e 113 de várzea que tinham mais de 40% do total de dias disponíveis preenchidos. A carne de fauna e o pescado foram as fontes de proteína animal mais frequentemente utilizadas na alimentação dos moradores tanto de terra firme como de várzea. Itens comercializados, como a carne de frango, conservas enlatadas e carne de gado foram menos consumidos pelos índios, sendo porém, mais utilizados nas aldeias de terra firme do que na várzea. Os mamíferos foram a classe de vertebrados silvestres mais consumida na terra firme, seguido pelos répteis e pelas aves. Na várzea, não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre o consumo de mamíferos e répteis, que foram mais consumidos do que as aves. Dentre os grupos de vertebrados consumidos, os ungulados foram os mais freqüentes na dieta dos habitantes da TI Uaçá, sendo os mais consumidos na terra firme e, juntamente com os crocodilianos, os mais consumidos também na várzea. Este estudo será a base para um futuro plano de manejo de fauna para a TI Uaçá, visto a importância da carne de fauna para a alimentação dos moradores da área, que em breve sofrerá os impactos causados pelo asfaltamento de uma rodovia que corta seu território e pela construção de uma linha de energia ligando Oiapoque à Macapá e que também passará por dentro da área.

A república paraense em festa (1890-1911)

A proposta desta dissertação é discutir a formação do poder simbólico da República Paraense nos seus primeiros anos (1890-1911), observando eventos como a mudança dos nomes de algumas ruas em homenagem ao novo regime, assim como a formulação do calendário republicano, com destaque para os festejos republicanos de 15 e 16 de novembro, datas da Proclamação da República e sua Aclamação no Pará, com o objetivo de analisar seus significados, organização e, principalmente, o entendimento da idéia de fortalecer as práticas do novo governo perante a sociedade. Além dessas festas, destacam-se nessa abordagem os banquetes, reuniões políticas promovidas pela elite da época. Essa pesquisa apresentou-se como possibilidade a ser trabalhada, uma vez que partindo de outro enfoque, serão discutidas as idéias, os personagens, os discursos, as intrigas e as alianças que estiveram presentes nesse período político marcante da história regional e nacional a partir dessas comemorações.

Do ponto de vista da caserna: memórias do cotidiano e experiências de militares da aeronáutica em Belém durante o regime militar (1964-1985)

Este estudo discute as percepções da população belenense sobre o período do Regime Militar de 1964, centrando a análise no segmento militar: Militares Graduados da Aeronáutica. Buscamos compreender a vivência destes no cotidiano da capital paraense no período de 1964-1985. Tal se manifesta para além da política e da economia, retratando aspectos da sociedade relativos ao trabalho, ao lazer e à vida privada, na qual as diferentes realidades e instâncias são vivenciadas e adquirem variados sentidos e significados no dia-a-dia. Temos o intuito de compreender os sentidos atribuídos pelos militares a suas atividades diárias, seja no âmbito institucional, seja no meio civil. Utilizamos para esta percepção a documentação (registros fotográficos, jornais internos, cartazes) do Primeiro Comando Aéreo Regional sediado em Belém (I COMAR), além de entrevistas sistematizadas de militares e seus familiares. Essas duas esferas – Civil-Militar – são cruzadas enfocando suas vivências no âmbito civil e podem ter uma relação direta ou indireta com as esferas políticas, econômicas e sociais do Regime Militar.
