Acknowledging that desertification and drought are problems of a global dimension in that they affect all regions of the world and that joint action of the international community is needed to combat desertification and or mitigate the effects of drought, including the integration of strategies for poverty eradication,

Acknowledging that desertification and drought are problems of a global dimension in that they affect all regions of the world and that joint actions of the international community are needed to combat desertification and or mitigate the effects of drought, including the integration of strategies for poverty eradication,

They explained that the last three camps were set up to house people fleeing the effects of the droughts.

Through its review, the GoE should also identify in the national reports the ways and means of promoting know how and technology transfer, in particular from the developed countries to the developing countries, for combating desertification and or mitigating the effects of drought.

TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FOR COMBATING DESERTIFICATION AND OR MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF DROUGHT, AS WELL AS OF PROMOTING EXPERIENCE SHARING AND INFORMATION EXCHANGE AMONG PARTIES

Extreme events, such as droughts, floods and hurricanes, will be less extreme and less frequent with successful mitigation.

Global hands on training workshop on mitigation assessments

Some participants observed that the workshop provided an excellent opportunity to network with other experts and helped clarify concepts and processes in mitigation assessments.

Areas of activity have included the coordination of drought mitigation and winterization programmes, as well as assistance to flood victims.

Some Parties proposed developing national drought policies to mitigate the adverse impacts of periodic droughts and indicated their need for a warning system to monitor the effects of drought.

(d) Undertake research work geared towards alleviating the effects of persistent organic pollutants on reproductive health

(i) Measures for the rehabilitation of degraded land and for early warning systems for mitigating the effects of drought

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

They must prepare and implement National Action Programs (NAPs) that identify the causes of desertification and try to mitigate the effects of drought.

Experts who attended the hands on training workshops articulated these requests to ensure that technical support is provided to them after the workshops.

This is independent from their material status and use of any other form of social protection (i.e., mitigation of consequences of social problems).

The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification aims to combat desertification, mitigate the effects of drought and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development.

Australia, as a country that itself is prone to natural disasters, is acutely aware of the threat they pose and of the importance of disaster mitigation and preparedness.

Some of the tools introduced at the workshop include COPATH (Carbon Pasture Agriculture Total Harvesting), LEAP (Long range Energy Alternatives Planning system), MARKAL MACRO (Market Allocation Macro Economic Model), ENEP (Energy and Power Evaluation Program) and RETscreen.

The NCSP of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is funded by Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Emphasizing further, in this context, the important role of development organizations in supporting national efforts to mitigate the consequences of natural disasters,

The group also discussed the scoping note for the preparation of the training materials for mitigation assessments and proposed the following

We all stand to suffer significantly from the effects of climate change, including increased droughts, floods, and other extreme weather conditions.

Emphasizing, in this context, the important role of development organizations in supporting national efforts to mitigate the consequences of natural disasters,

Recognising the importance of disaster preparedness and management for mitigating the impacts of natural calamities and the need for continued efforts by the international community to enhance awareness in this regard.

5. Recognizes that economic growth and sustainable development contribute to improving the capacity of States to mitigate, respond to and prepare for natural disasters

6. Recognizes that economic growth and sustainable development contribute to improving the capacity of States to mitigate, respond to and prepare for natural disasters

The training workshop provided the participants with an overview of the concepts, structures, processes and steps in mitigation assessments.

10. Urges the international community to provide as a matter of urgency humanitarian assistance and relief to the Somali people to alleviate in particular the consequences of the prevailing drought

Emphasizing further, in this context, the important role of development organizations in supporting national efforts to mitigate the consequences of natural disasters,

The first was to mitigate the consequences of injustices which occurred during the communist regime, while being aware that these injustices can never be remedied in full.

The following are the recommendations provided by the participants to the CGE on organizing and conducting future training workshops

Noting with serious concern the threat, as a result of this drought, of a serious negative impact on the Somali economy, and in particular on the pastoral economy and social support systems,

10. Urges the international community to provide as a matter of urgency humanitarian assistance and relief to the Somali people to alleviate in particular the consequences of the prevailing drought

Although computer models are important, the process of building the capacity of local experts is imperative in the exercise of mitigation assessments At the outset of a modelling exercise, there should be a clear distinction between generating information for the models and the actual work in computer modelling.

Expressing grave concern at the prevalent drought and its devastating impact on the socio economic situation of some States members of the Economic Cooperation Organization,
