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

(c) Russian Federation activities in the field of space debris mitigation , by the representative of the Russian Federation

Overview of activities of the European Space Agency in the field of near Earth object research hazard mitigation

Risk mitigation activities and reducing the hazardous conditions under which a threat can materialize are the next step.

The funding was predominantly for reconstruction and disaster mitigation activities at the country level from a variety of donors.

Most of the research activities reported as ongoing or planned were linked to vulnerability and adaptation assessments and mitigation activities, such as energy conservation, efficiency and related technologies.

IFRC contributed to the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction through increased preparedness, response activities, small scale mitigation, education, advocacy and partnerships.

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.

Prevention and mitigation

Mr. William Kojo Agyemang Bonsu, Ghana, said his expectations focused on identifying technologies that can promote both climate change mitigation and adaptation activities.

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

Radiation mitigation and standard setting

The goal of this initiative is to compensate for the GHG emissions produced as a result of conducting these events through climate change mitigation activities elsewhere.

in the workshop on mitigation assessments

The view was expressed that the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines were solid, technically based measures for any nation to adopt and implement in its national space activities.

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

Global hands on training workshop on mitigation assessments

The representative of the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) outlined its primary activities, which included the provision of guarantees (risk mitigation products) and reducing transaction costs associated with FDI site selection decisions.

30. Mitigation of carbon emissions to reduce global warming

(e) Report on the activities of the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee on space debris mitigation guidelines and supporting document , by the representative of the Inter Agency Space Debris Coordination Committee (IADC).

Estimating the GHG emissions associated with a particular activity (e.g., a COP session) Offsetting these emissions through climate change mitigation activities elsewhere Communicating, exchanging views and cooperating with relevant actors on this initiative.

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.

The SBI should explore the possibility of funding national experts to undergo specialized training on the various computer models needed for the preparation of the mitigation assessments section of second national communications The training workshop on mitigation assessments should assist developing countries to relate climate change activities with the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals and the Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers.

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 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

Welcoming the efforts of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the Secretariat and the United Nations Development Programme to strengthen the coordination of their activities in the field of disaster prevention, mitigation and management,

Paradoxically, it is still much easier to mobilize support for post disaster relief efforts than for preparedness and mitigation activities that would avoid or minimize the loss of life and the destruction of vital assets and infrastructure.

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).

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

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.

The growing magnitude of the negative effects of natural disasters requires the strengthening of national prevention, mitigation and preparation activities and the implementation of the outcome of the second World Conference on Disaster Reduction, held this year in Japan.

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.

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.
