(b) to preserve and protect the environment in the event of transboundary damage, especially with respect to mitigation of damage to the environment and its restoration or reinstatement.

Natural hazards cannot be prevented, but damage caused by hazards can be prevented and avoided by proper preparedness, response and mitigation efforts.

But if you are like me, and want to minimize the damage to people and all other living things on Earth, then you choose mitigation and, where necessary, adaptation.

We call for stronger national systems for early warning, damage assessment and the mitigation of the consequences of disasters, as well as for more international cooperation in this area.

In the review of the claims in the fifth F4 instalment, the Panel has considered whether appropriate measures of mitigation would have reduced the damage in any particular claim.

Prevention and mitigation

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

Radiation mitigation and standard setting

Having put in place all feasible risk mitigation options, risk management moves towards finding ways to reduce the severity of potential loss and damage and often implies establishing safety and emergency response teams, technologies and procedures.

in the workshop on mitigation assessments

I am convinced that this is a misguided strategy not only because of the uncertainty about the dangers that global warming might pose, but also because of the certainty of the damage that these proposed policies aimed at mitigation will impose.

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

30. Mitigation of carbon emissions to reduce global warming

Hurricane Jeanne, the most destructive, produced 2.5 million worth of damage to roads, power lines and sewers.64 The Federal Emergency Management Agency, in general, provides programmes of mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery in the Territory through the Virgin Islands Territorial Emergency Management Agency.

The Committee noted that the United States had endorsed the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines and that its domestic agencies were implementing debris mitigation practices consistent with them.

Agriculture was cited as a typical sector having considerable potential not only for integration of mitigation and adaptation but also for integration of mitigation into economic and rural development.

Two trends deserve attention and mitigation (but not regulation or secrecy!).

Major developing countries must also commit to nationally appropriate mitigation actions.

The Subcommittee noted that the United States had endorsed the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines and that its domestic agencies were implementing debris mitigation practices consistent with the IADC guidelines.

The Subcommittee had also made significant progress on space debris mitigation, having agreed on a two year workplan to develop a document based on the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines.

(d) Moral damage

Compensation for damage

(a) damage means significant damage caused to persons, property or the environment and includes

The first, called mitigation, means reducing the amount of manmade climate change.

29. A package of R D and mitigation to combat global warming

Adaptation must be a vital part of the negotiations. So must mitigation.

Support by farmers' organizations of individual farmers in adaptation and mitigation initiatives

The discussion covered various issues, such as Convention synergies, drought management, governance, rural land use practices, and the integration of drought mitigation into investment planning and science and technology for drought mitigation.

But an advanced country could also undertake mitigation efforts in the developing world and thus earn additional credits equal to the full value of its mitigation efforts (thus allowing more emissions at home).

Costs and economic damage

And every time they turn themselves over there is some damage. And that damage builds up.

Meteorological observation from satellites mitigation was contributing to improved weather forecasting and the prevention and mitigation of natural disasters such as hurricanes, as well as efforts to address the devastating effects of climate change.

Claim No. 5000462 is for damage to cultural heritage resources claim No. 5000467 is for damage to livestock resources and claim No. 5000303 is for public health damage.

This is one reason why successful mitigation at the global level faces stiff headwinds.

These crises have also highlighted the undeniable need to prioritize disaster management and mitigation.

The women's leadership programme on conflict mitigation and peace building has started in Indonesia.

Increased funding opportunities are needed for climate change adaptation as well as mitigation measures.

It has done enough damage.

Another factor is psychological damage.

Damage to the heritage of the country is damage to the soul of its people and its identity.

The developing world also has a serious fairness objection to paying for climate change mitigation.

The world could actually enhance economic output and welfare by pursuing a path of mitigation.

That handbook would be useful in designing passivation, re orbiting and other debris mitigation activities.
