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.

Ms. Izumi Kubota, Japan, urged discussion on improving TNAs, exchanging and disseminating information on existing technologies for adaptation, and mainstreaming adaptation in sustainable development policies at national levels.

Adaptation Fund (Agenda item 9)

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

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

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.

What is gender mainstreaming?

(a) Human rights mainstreaming

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

Acceleration and adaptation of existing programmes

The paper attempts to define and explain the term mainstreaming and reviews mandates related to mainstreaming efforts.

The various structures for implementing gender mainstreaming policies have reflected the attitude of UNDP towards gender mainstreaming.

Age, gender and diversity mainstreaming

Gender equality and gender mainstreaming

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.

In addition, Gender Mainstreaming Training Modules have also been developed to help trainers facilitators carry out gender mainstreaming training.

Much less work has been devoted to adaptation.

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

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 Gender Mainstreaming Mechanism has been established by Presidential Instruction No. 9 of 2000 on Gender Mainstreaming in National Development.

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.
