5. Calls upon the international community to enhance support for the efforts of small island developing States to adapt to the adverse impacts of climate change, including through the provision of dedicated sources of financing, capacity building and the transfer of appropriate technologies to address climate change

The long term objective was to encourage South South cooperation, train trainers and increase the developing countries' capacity to make their voices heard in the global climate change debate.

Globalization has meant that competitiveness is increasingly based not only on price but also on a culture of innovation and the capacity of a firm to change.

(d) In the context of undertaking national communications, building of national, regional and or sub regional capacity, as appropriate, to integrate climate change concerns in medium and long term planning

We can change things, but we have to actively change.

Global scientific simulation models, which have become more robust during the last decade, have significantly increased our capacity to anticipate future risks related to the impact of climate change although they still remain insufficient as regards projections for specific regional and subregional patterns of climate change and their impact.

These action plans establish a framework for the operation of the national focal point on climate change and capacity building in priority agencies and sectors.
