Speaking from this rostrum at the Millennium Summit five years ago, I, like other leaders, referred to the imperative of adaptation.

The Age of Adaptation

A high degree of strategic adaptability.

Adjusting to globalization

From this perspective, adjustment is hard to beat.

Adapting to Climate Change

Adapting to the circumstance.

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

Integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction

It was noted that a broad approach to adaptation should be taken by addressing the transfer of technologies for adapting to climate change as well as technologies to reduce the impact of response measures.

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.

Finally, the adjustment programs themselves must be carefully re calibrated.

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.

Much less work has been devoted to adaptation.

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.

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.

A number of anticipatory and reactive adaptations have been identified in key sectors.

Both conventional and innovative options for financing the transfer of adaptation technology should be explored.

Each of these applies to some extent to technologies for adaptation.

In addition, special consideration should be given to LDC Parties that have recently evolved from conflict situations Uncertainties regarding

Shifting the entire adjustment burden onto peripheral countries with current account deficits, while core countries continue to run surpluses, obstructs adjustment.

The EGTT could contribute directly to the programme of work on adaptation in the area of technologies for adaptation and in related subject areas.

But a weaker German economy makes adjustment in the periphery even more difficult.

Latin America s Adaptive Gangsters

However, we need to adapt to this situation.

The loss of resilience would be too great.

Financing the transfer of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Identification and evaluation of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Financing the transfer of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Adaptation measures should be focused on efficiency and conservation.

Adjustment, support to trade and trade related shocks

The Adaptation Fund of the Kyoto Protocol The Adaptation Fund of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or Climate Convention) is a distinct trust fund of the UNFCCC financial mechanism.

Creditors are shifting the entire burden of adjustment on to the debtor countries and avoiding their own responsibility.
