Prevention and mitigation

In addition to disaster preparedness and mitigation, Kyrgyzstan supports initiatives on the creation of a worldwide early warning system for natural disasters.

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

in the workshop on mitigation assessments

7. Reaffirms that all regional efforts should serve the purpose of strengthening international cooperation aimed at the creation of a global multihazard early warning system, including the newly established Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System

Such a system would trigger entrepreneurial searches for low cost mitigation opportunities in developing countries, because rich countries would want to pay less by lowering emissions abroad.

2 The IOC Assembly, during its twenty third session, adopted resolution XXIII 12 establishing an Intergovernmental Coordination Group for the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System.

The Subcommittee agreed that work should continue on the establishment of a global system to manage natural disaster mitigation, relief and prevention, as recommended in the Vienna Declaration.

(f) To work expeditiously towards the establishment of a worldwide early warning system for all natural hazards with regional nodes, building on existing national and regional capacity such as the newly established Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

Global hands on training workshop on mitigation assessments

The view was expressed that space debris mitigation practices were not limited by the licensing of a space system but continued with the treaty derived need for supervision and control, which was necessary throughout the operational and disposal phases of a space system.

30. Mitigation of carbon emissions to reduce global warming

Threats to the system as a whole can arise in a manner that is difficult to detect, and that can cause risk mitigation strategies that work well in normal times to malfunction.

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 practice of partnerships within and outside the United Nations system was one of the strengths of UN Habitat, which should also play a role in disaster mitigation and rehabilitation programmes covering urban settlements.

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

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.

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.

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

Throughout the sessions, participants had the opportunity to discuss technical concerns relating to mitigation assessments.

Costs associated with climate change mitigation and adaptation already represent an added burden for farmers.

However, in the long run, the gains accruing from climate change mitigation will pay off.

Don Quijote is a mitigation precursor mission currently under study by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The size, frequency and complexity of recent disasters has often overwhelmed national capacities to deal with the aftermath the international community must provide support for local prevention and mitigation efforts, and for the development of an early warning system and appropriate construction technologies.

The view was expressed that the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines could be endorsed by the Subcommittee as the technical background to the document on space debris mitigation being developed in the framework of the Working Group on Space Debris.

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.

(i) Paragraph (a) should read Increased capacity of developing countries for preparedness in disaster prevention and mitigation.
