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

The third step refers to the adaptation of the innovation to local conditions.

Capacity building and sustainability will be achieved through national level partnerships for their customization and adaptation to suit local requirements.

Mr. Nyong concluded that local knowledge is a major underutilized resource in adaptation, and that development efforts should be applied with an understanding of, and sensitivity to, local communities.

(d) Adaptation to local needs of relevant generic training modules and their integration into teaching activities of the 10 selected universities

Consideration should be given also to new technologies for adaptation and to their adoption and implementation based on local experiences and circumstances.

Starting in the 1960s, the first wave of R D internationalization involved mainly asset exploiting R D aimed at adaptation of products for local markets.

Adaptation Fund

Additional outreach efforts are needed to increase awareness and reach all stakeholders, including farmers and local communities Links with other processes The EGTT could contribute directly to the programme of work on adaptation in the area of technologies for adaptation and in related subject areas.

(m) Strengthen national and local capacity in keeping with their conditions for the development and adaptation of forest related technologies, including technologies for the use of fuelwood

The Age of Adaptation

This applies to many services that are non tradable , but may also be relevant for manufactured goods that need adaptation to local conditions. In such situations, outward FDI is

Adaptation Fund (Agenda item 9)

Adaptation Adaptation has, since COP 8, emerged as a more central element of the climate change intergovernmental process.

On adaptation, he pointed out that households have been implementing different technologies for adaptation for decades, and that many decisions on adaptation are taken at the community level through farm associations.

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.

The case studies presented at the seminar showed that many local technologies for adaptation to climate change are available in developing countries and that some of them were independently adopted or introduced.

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

Acceleration and adaptation of existing programmes

Endogenous technologies for adaptation to climate change

There was an urgent need for adaptation.

He highlighted the APF project design, which involves assessing current vulnerability, characterizing future climate risks, developing adaptation strategies and continuing the adaptation process.

Much less work has been devoted to adaptation.

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

Review of draft national adaptation programmes of action

Mr. Bonduki said that the adaptation learning mechanism aims at maximizing global learning and contributing to the incorporation of adaptation strategies into development planning.

The programme of work on adaptation is another important activity that should take advantage of work done on technologies for adaptation to climate change.

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

A delegation expressed satisfaction that the promotion of increased research through international scientific efforts, as well as adaptation of emerging technologies to local conditions, was one of the key outcomes of the United Nations Millennium Project.

There are many examples of technologies that can be used to collect data, provide information and increase awareness for coastal adaptation to climate change, to plan and design adaptation strategies, to implement adaptation strategies and to monitor and evaluate their performance.

Although the theme of the programme of work on adaptation on adaptation planning, measures and actions is the main place to address technologies for adaptation, technology components could be considered and actions could be identified also in its other main themes.

Possible areas of work on technologies for adaptation should be further discussed Mitigation and adaptation further understanding of the cross cutting nature of mitigation and adaptation technologies and to what extent they can be considered as complementary activities is recommended.

He also presented some examples of technologies for adaptation identified in TNAs completed by Albania and Mauritius and in national adaptation programme of actions (NAPAs).

This guidance may address issues relating to incorporating adaptation concerns in the project's cost benefit analysis and mainstreaming adaptation projects in the national development agenda.

He noted not only that selected developing countries now receive more FDI in R D but also that the nature of this FDI is changing in that it is no longer intended only for local market adaptation.

Some Parties (e.g. Mongolia) recognized the need for adequate policies and strategies both at the national and the local levels, and the need for adequate legal, regulatory and standardization frameworks to effectively implement adaptation and mitigation policies.

Adaptation occurs through the gradual modification of existing structures.

However, this adaptation also deviates significantly from the novel.
