Integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction

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

on the impact of climate change and measures for adaptation 14

Research on climate change impacts and vulnerability was, in most cases, related to research on adaptation to climate change.

After describing previous work on technologies for adaptation to climate change, he said that defining these technologies is difficult, and suggested that an operational definition might be the application of technology in order to reduce the vulnerability, or enhance the resilience, of a natural or human system to the impacts of climate change .

Adaptation to climate change involves more than merely the application of a particular technology.

It also helps to limit greenhouse gas emissions and facilitate adaptation to climate change.

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.

SAICM Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management

Noting that the Adaptation Fund shall be financed from the share of proceeds on the clean development mechanism project activities and other sources of funding,

In this connection, it was noted that a sectoral approach was used already for identifying and evaluating technologies for adaptation to climate change.

The technical and institutional links between adaptation to climate change and disaster risk reduction are under increasing discussion.

They also emphasized that adaptation to climate change in reducing disaster risk was a priority.

The Changing Climate on Climate Change

The Changing Climate On Climate Change

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.

Climate injustice must be redressed, as developing countries bear the brunt of the impact and face massive adaptation costs.

The second response to climate change, called adaptation, requires that we ready ourselves for the climate change now underway and the increased climate change to come in future years.

It reviews privileges and immunities in the context of the United Nations and the climate change process, and outlines a number of options for consideration by the COP MOP in its determination of whether and how members, alternates and experts of constituted bodies should be provided with the necessary privileges and immunities to carry out their functions under the Kyoto Protocol, and what process should be put in place to settle disputes brought by third parties.

This present document reflects on the financial implications of suspending the practice outlined above.

FCCC SBSTA 2005 L.18 Add.1

The Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) is invited to consider this issue and recommend a draft decision for adoption by the COP MOP.

This note describes an initiative to make sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) and of the subsidiary bodies climate neutral.

The COP MOP may wish to refer the consideration of the information contained in this report to the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice and provide guidance, as necessary, to the secretariat concerning the fulfilment of its functions as the ITL administrator.
