In conjunction with its regular meetings, the LEG has conducted interactive sessions with national NAPA teams of host countries.

The Age of Adaptation

(d) Supply side adjustments.

Adjusting to globalization

Some Parties have included adaptation measures in their national action plans and or national environmental action plans as a first step towards implementation of adaptation, and others have reported that some legislative changes would help facilitate incorporation of climate change adaptation in the future.

Adapting to Climate Change

Adapting to the circumstance.

of the Kyoto Protocol (FCCC KP CMP 2005 3 Add.2)

The EGTT could contribute directly to the programme of work on adaptation in the area of technologies for adaptation and in related subject areas.

Why China Can t Adjust

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

Failure to adapt amounts to regression.

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

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.

It could also help address adjustment costs.

Asians constantly adapt and 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.

A key factor in adapting to these forces is investment.

Adaptation occurs through the gradual modification of existing structures.

Additional outreach efforts are needed to increase awareness and reach all stakeholders, including farmers and local communities Links with other processes 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 high degree of strategic adaptability.

I wondered. Can I really call this land a second home? My thoughts were interrupted by the taxi driver s voice.

This process of structural adjustment is still going on.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies

Table 2 presents the priorities and needs for adaptation in key vulnerable sectors in various developing regions.

Needs for technologies for adaptation to climate change

(b) The consequences of not adapting to climate change

There was an urgent need for adaptation.

Perhaps adjustment will start to work just in time.

Adaptation was also a key element considered in the self evaluation.

But an exception can again be made When both the private and public sectors are overburdened with debt, adjustment leads to a debt deflation spiral, particularly when conducted under a fixed exchange rate regime.

However, we need to adapt to this situation.

The loss of resilience would be too great.

Financing the transfer of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Identification and evaluation of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Adaptation measures should be focused on efficiency and conservation.

Adjustment, support to trade and trade related shocks

The Adaptation Fund of the Kyoto Protocol The Adaptation Fund of the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC or Climate Convention) is a distinct trust fund of the UNFCCC financial mechanism.

A number of anticipatory and reactive adaptations have been identified in key sectors.

A key adjustment has been the removal of subsidies to urban consumers.

Shifting the entire adjustment burden onto peripheral countries with current account deficits, while core countries continue to run surpluses, obstructs adjustment.

What steps might be taken to help facilitate a market based supply of technologies for adaptation? What synergy within the Convention and other multilateral environmental agreements might be pursued to enhance the work on technologies for adaptation?

From this perspective, adjustment is hard to beat.
