There was an urgent need for adaptation.

The need for institutional development and adaptation is an enduring challenge.

That makes the need for an adaptation and revitalization of this Organization more than evident.

But it seems to me that we need to cultivate the Council's capacity for adaptation.

Mr. Abdullatif Salem Benrageb, the Chair of the SBSTA, highlighted the importance of adaptation and technologies for adaptation, in addition to the need for immediate action to mitigate climate change.

Recognizing the need to operationalize the Adaptation Fund as soon as possible,

Most participants agreed that information on adaptation technologies is useful, but some questioned the need for a compendium guide.

Several participants from developing countries highlighted the need to focus on the means to transfer technology, provide concrete examples of transferring technologies for adaptation, and promote stakeholder participation in defining needs for technologies for adaptation in TNAs.

We need to take into account the increase in emissions that adaptation will cause.

Endogenous technologies for adaptation to climate change

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.

With regard to Article 4.4, the Committee recognized the need for more information on and further analysis of the meaning of adaptation (including preparation for and facilitation of adaptation) as well as on the particular measures which might be considered.

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

Adaptation Fund

Parties mentioned perceived changes in water availability, and the need for redistribution of available supplies between agricultural and industrial uses, as an adaptation option.

Stressing the need to increase the research on technology for adaptation, Ms. Beckles acknowledged the importance of partnerships to promote sustainable development in SIDS.

Quite consciously, design projects that need an incredible amount of various techniques, just basically to fight straightforward adaptation.

Most of the adaptation options were identified using the IPCC Technical Guidelines for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation to evaluate and determine the cost of specific adaptation strategies and measures.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies All Parties followed the UNFCCC guidelines for reporting on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.

Many Parties expressed the need for more work to be carried out on integrated assessments, socio economic assessments, identification of adaptation options and costing implications.

Assessing adaptation responses

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.

The economic case for focusing more on adaptation is clear.

5. Describe expected progress in cooperation to prepare for adaptation.

We note the urgent need for new technologies, better resources and new methods for the integrated management of water resources, the adaptation to climate change and the management of waste.
