List of areas depopulated due to climate change. This article lists several areas, regions, and municipalities that have either been completely or markedly depopulated, or are involved in plans for depopulation or relocation due to anthropogenic climate change. Several factors created or worsened by climate change can be responsible for necessitating managed retreat or the relocation of people and/or infrastructure. These include rising sea levels, increased flooding risk, changes to the makeup of the land (e.g. a habitable area becoming a wetland), coastal erosion, increased susceptibility to dangerous cyclones, droughts, water shortages, wildfires, and other factors, all of which can overlap with each other to enhance the risk of danger or inhabitability of a formerly populated region. 

The lists contain a general number of the number of people moved or at risk of being moved due to climate change-related causes, as well as rough dates for when programs to relocate were first created or for when a climate disaster first caused significant forcible displacement of a population.

S29 Xuchang–Xinyang Expressway. The Xuchang–Xinyang Expressway (), designated as S29 in Henan's expressway system, is a currently  (About  when fully completed) long regional expressway in Henan, China.

History
The original plan first appeared in an announcement issued by Henan People's Government on December 29, 2016. On November 10, 2017, Henan Development and Reform Commission agreed to build this expressway, and one month later on December 26, construction begun after a mobilization meeting. Exactly five years later, The expressway's Suiping to Pingqiao section was open to traffic, and on December 28, 2023, the road was fully completed.

D-square law. The d-square law or -law is a relationship between diameter and time for an isolated, spherical droplet when it evaporates quasi-steadily, which was first observed by Boris Sreznevsky in 1882, and was explained by Irving Langmuir in 1918. If  and  are the droplet diameter and time, then -law pertains to the relation

where  is the initial time,  is the initial droplet diameter and  is called the evaporation constant.

NOAAS Oceanographer (2024). NOAAS Oceanographer is an American oceanographic research vessel scheduled to enter commissioned service in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 2025. She is under construction, with completion anticipated in early 2025. She is the second NOAA ship to bear the name Oceanographer.

Design
 
Oceanographer and her sister ship  represent an effort by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to recapitalize its aging fleet. The ships are built to commercial standards, and NOAA describes them as "state-of-the-art" and designed to support a wide variety of scientific missions, with a capability of conducting general oceanographic research and exploration as well as more specific studies of marine life, the oceanic climate, and ocean ecosystems. The ships can perform scientific missions in shallow coastal waters and over the continental shelf, as well as ocean survey and data collection worldwide. The ships are equipped to launch work boats, perform maintenance on buoys and moorings, deploy scientific instruments to collect weather and water-column data, and conduct seafloor mapping surveys. 

To help meet NOAA's goal of reducing its carbon footprint, each ship incorporates high-efficiency diesel engines that comply with strict Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier IV final emissions requirements, stack-gas emission controls, and other technologies which NOAA estimates will save  of diesel fuel per year for each ship and result in an estimated reduction of approximately  of carbon dioxide. Each ship has a crew of 20 and accommodation for up to 28 embarked scientists.

Construction

NOAA acquired Oceanographer and Discoverer through an agreement with the United States Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command. On 31 December 2020, the U.S. Navy awarded a US$178,082,877 contract to Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors of Houma, Louisiana, to design and build the two ships.

Oceanographer′s construction began with a ceremony at the Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors shipyard in Houma on 15 June 2022. During the ceremony, the initials of the ship's sponsor, Linda Kwok Schatz, wife of United States Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii, were welded onto a steel plate that was to be incorporated into the ship's structure during construction. Oceanographer was launched in August 2024.

Operational career
Plans call for Oceanographer to enter service in NOAA's fleet in early 2025. Her home port will be Honolulu, Hawaii.

61-89 Jessie Street, Sentinel Works. The Sentinel Works is a former factory building in Polmadie, Glasgow, Scotland. In 1991 the building was included in the Scottish Listed Buildings in the highest category A.

History 
The factory was built in 1904 for the Alley & MacLellan. The Sentinel was developed at this site and was later manufactured in the English factories of the Sentinel Waggon Works. The Sentinel Works had its own foundry and was mainly used to produce ships for inland waters. Around 500 ships were manufactured there as kits and assembled at their destination. Between 1918 and 1937 the factory belonged to Beardmores and was bought by the Weir Group in 1960.

In 1993 an application for demolition was rejected. This was in connection with the relocation of a railway depot as part of the extension of the M74. At this point, the factory had already been unused for an unknown period of time. Over the following decades, the condition of the building deteriorated noticeably. All of the glazing is now missing and some of the concrete in the damp masonry is chipping away. In 1994, the Sentinel Works were added to the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland. In 2014, its condition was classified as very poor and at high risk.

Description 

The Sentinel Works is located in an industrial area in Glasgow's southeast. During construction, the innovative reinforced concrete construction method according to François Hennebique was used. Today it is the third oldest surviving reinforced concrete building in the United Kingdom. The flat roof construction anticipates the daylight-flooded American-style production facilities that would later also appear in England. The designer Archibald Leitch is responsible for planning and construction in collaboration with the Brand & Lithgow architectural firm. The south-facing front façade of the four-story building on Jessie Street is twelve bays wide; the side facades are three bays wide.

Paper park. A paper park is an area with designated environmental or conservation protection status, but with little actual implementation of environmental management or protection measures. This can stem from process or governance issues, or from weak regulations and lack of enforcement.

Background 
A 2020 report by NGO Oceana revealed that many European Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) function as "paper parks," offering minimal real protection. Of the 3,449 Natura 2000 MPAs assessed, 70% faced at least one significant threat, with some sites in the Netherlands and the UK experiencing up to 12 threats. Only 0.07% of the total MPA network was free from any assessed threats, while 86% of the network was impacted by damaging fishing gear.
