So we live on the most fragile, little soap bubble you can imagine, a very sacred soap bubble, but one that is very, very easy to affect.

The US economy is relatively flexible, and this kind of structural adjustment in the private sector occurs reasonably quickly.

The numbers of Soviet partisans quickly caught up and were very similar to that of the Polish resistance.

This is regarded as inefficient because firms cannot adjust quickly to changing business conditions.

Now at that time, there was a great, as you can imagine, frustration let's call it frustration it started to grow very, very quickly.

MOLAP tools have a very fast response time and the ability to quickly write back data into the data set.

But if you just think about the state of the world in 1993 in India at that time it was skyrocketing and nobody understood why, and everyone was actually very, very afraid.

When working on his doctorate, he was very focused on selecting a topic and completing his dissertation very fast.

And I said, Yes, I do. Yes, I do. And I was so relieved that it was a question I could answer so quickly.

What's amazing is that working with such highly degraded input, the baby, very quickly, is able to discover meaning in such input.

In many countries in those regions, functional literacy is too low and ill suited to adjust to the changing patterns of the globalized labour market, which require adjustment to competition.

So we did a simple analysis, and it doesn't take rocket science to figure out that, if you take 30 percent every year, your fishery is going to collapse very quickly.

The Age of Adaptation

But, because they now run current account surpluses, they have fully adjusted and can resume growth, albeit naturally at a much slower pace than during the boom.

When Saddam Hussein came to power in 1979, the air force grew very quickly when Iraq ordered more Soviet and French aircraft.

Adjusting to globalization

And just very quickly, something we've been working on very recently is we were commissioned by the mayor of London to design a new bus that gave the passenger their freedom again.

But by reducing your energy use, pretty much at the peak times usually when you have you air conditioning on, or other times like that this generates the peak power at the peak usage time, so it's very complementary in that sense.

Economic adjustment is necessarily slower within a monetary union than it is for countries with their own currency, because, even for very flexible economies, prices change more slowly than the exchange rate.

Adapting to Climate Change

Adapting to the circumstance.

of the Kyoto Protocol (FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.2)

Why China Can t Adjust

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

Failure to adapt amounts to regression.

In conjunction with its regular meetings, the LEG has conducted interactive sessions with national NAPA teams of host countries.

He mentioned plans for an online database of adaptation options to share local knowledge and endogenous adaptation techniques.

And it's driven by a very simple and sensible message, which is that we get more pleasure and more health from our food when we cultivate, cook and consume it at a reasonable pace.

Asians constantly adapt and change.

(d) Supply side adjustments.

The Adaptation Fund Purpose The Adaptation Fund was created to assist developing country parties that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change to meet the costs of adaptation.

Hurry up.

And that was a very, very, very big part of my process.

Some Parties have included adaptation measures in their national action plans and or national environmental action plans as a first step towards implementation of adaptation, and others have reported that some legislative changes would help facilitate incorporation of climate change adaptation in the future.

A high degree of strategic adaptability.

I wondered. Can I really call this land a second home? My thoughts were interrupted by the taxi driver s voice.

This process of structural adjustment is still going on.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies

Table 2 presents the priorities and needs for adaptation in key vulnerable sectors in various developing regions.

Needs for technologies for adaptation to climate change

(b) The consequences of not adapting to climate change

There was an urgent need for adaptation.

It's a very, very strong force.

Come quick!
