Increased funding opportunities are needed for climate change adaptation as well as mitigation measures.

Many developing countries are coming forward with ideas for further nationally appropriate mitigation measures that they could take.

First, the tsunami disaster illustrated the lack of a systematic disaster management framework, including disaster mitigation measures, in many countries.

In order to address that problem, special adjustments might be considered, such as the mitigation measures adopted two years earlier.

Debris mitigation measures would be voluntary and it was vitally important therefore to encourage involvement and build consensus so that all would be prepared to abide by the agreed measures.

8. Further requests the Secretary General to ensure that targeted mitigation measures are put in place pursuant to established minimum operating security standards

Such risk evaluations or information on alternative risk mitigation measures submitted by Parties may be found on the Rotterdam Convention web site (www.pic.int).

Prevention and mitigation

She said that Uruguay developed a programme of measures for mitigation and adaptation that includes vulnerability analysis, and identified adaptation measures for agriculture, biodiversity, coastal resources, water resources, fishery resources, and human health.

These guidelines should be followed in assessing and proposing mitigation measures for any tourism development in areas of high biodiversity, within or outside protected areas.

To preserve the livelihoods of farmers and support the growing world population, adaptation and mitigation measures are both essential responses in planning for climate change.

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

Radiation mitigation and standard setting

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.

TNCs could proactively engage in the mitigation of such negative effects, including through special measures to minimize the local economic impacts of plant closures and significant staff reductions.

in the workshop on mitigation assessments

In the review of the claims in the fifth F4 instalment, the Panel has considered whether appropriate measures of mitigation would have reduced the damage in any particular claim.

It is essential to focus on the local level, helping communities and local governments to take simple disaster mitigation measures and put elementary early warning and evacuation systems into place.

Only a small fraction of Chinese FDI in the US is subject to CFIUS review, and most of these projects, like most reviewed by CFIUS, are approved, sometimes with mitigation measures.

Integration of emergency sanitation measures into disaster preparedness and mitigation policies and plans could help avert epidemics of waterborne diseases when large numbers of people are displaced by disasters or conflicts.

But climate change mitigation and adaptation are costly.

Global hands on training workshop on mitigation assessments

First, policy frameworks for addressing climate change impacts and adaptation measures are often incomplete and second, government policy frameworks and regulation objectives are often inconsistent with climate change adaptation and mitigation goals.

30. Mitigation of carbon emissions to reduce global warming

Some delegations expressed the view that in order for States to continue having unrestricted access to outer space, all space faring nations should be implementing space debris mitigation measures as expeditiously as possible.

While his delegation supported mitigation measures, it wished to underscore that such adjustments must not lead to increases in the rates of assessment of developing countries, as had happened with the scheme of limits.

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.

He stressed that even if stringent mitigation measures would be implemented they would have limited impacts on the number of people at risk from floods, because of lag times in the atmosphere and ocean systems.

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.

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 view was reiterated that compliance with all space debris mitigation measures would involve additional costs for all commercial operators and it would therefore be desirable to explore ways and means to provide technical and economic support.

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.

Almost all Parties that have submitted their initial national communication as of 1 April 2005 provided information on research and systematic observation relating to climate change impacts, vulnerability assessment and adaptation options, and measures for addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (mitigation).

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.
