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.

Areas of activity have included the coordination of drought mitigation and winterization programmes, as well as assistance to flood victims.

Prevention and mitigation

In 1996, FAO established an ad hoc Interdepartmental Working Group on Desertification (IDWG) with the aim of facilitating the coordination of relevant FAO programmes and other mechanisms in the area of dryland development, desertification control and drought mitigation.

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.

The effects of drought are even felt in the rainforests.

This area is very rarely affected by hurricanes or drought.

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

Severe drought also threatened the lives of nearly 10 million people.

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).

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.
