Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

6. Take note that Annex I Parties are fulfilling their commitments to implement national policies and measures on the mitigation of climate change.

Farmer initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change exist.

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

Latvia does not have a specific policy to mitigate climate change but includes climate policy within a combination of environmental policy and development strategies in various economic sectors.

However, in the long run, the gains accruing from climate change mitigation will pay off.

Progress is needed on emission reduction targets and on sharing knowledge and technology more widely. We also have to find a way to provide funding for adaptation and mitigation to protect people from the impact of climate change and enable economies to grow while holding down pollution levels while guarding against trade protection in the name of climate change mitigation.

There is no coherent national climate change policy and climate change measures are regarded as part of the EC wide environmental policies.

Funding of mitigation projects has begun in the areas defined in the three initial operational programmes for 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.

The Union is firmly committed to urgent global action to mitigate climate change a serious, long term challenge for every part of the world.

Appropriate policies and regulations that are needed to create incentives and remove barriers to climate change adaptation and mitigation have not always been fully implemented.

Scientists and engineers who work on climate change stress that governments need to adopt two main responses. The first, called mitigation, means reducing the amount of manmade climate change.

Farmers also adopt other crop management strategies to mitigate climate change impacts.

10. When reporting on policies and measures and projections, Parties may refer to the quot Methods for assessment of mitigation options quot (chapter 27) and appendices 1 4, contained in quot Climate Change 1995 IPCC Second Assessment Report, Volume III, Scientific Technical Analyses of Impacts, Adaptations and Mitigation of Climate Change Contribution of Working Group II of the IPCC. quot

(b) Formulate, implement, publish and regularly update national and, where appropriate, regional programmes containing measures to mitigate climate change and measures to facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change

The role of forestry in mitigating climate change

It cooperates with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, other conventions, and related organizations engaged in climate change impact assessment, systematic observation and mitigation of climate change.

(a) Financial support for the development and commercialization of private sector

Being aware of climate change as a threat to the farming sector and community, some apex farmers' organizations throughout the world already promote renewable energy policies, and support agricultural initiatives aiming at mitigating and adapting to its adverse effects.

Costs associated with climate change mitigation and adaptation already represent an added burden for farmers.

One of the key answers for farmers with respect to climate change mitigation and adaptation lies in the development of sustainable sources of energy.

In general, these initiatives are designed to help non Annex II Parties meet their obligations under the Convention by providing resources and technical assistance to aid in assessing vulnerabilities to climate change, developing greenhouse gas inventories, identifying climate change mitigation and adaptation response options, developing climate change response strategies, and preparing national communications.

The science of climate change contribution of Working Group I of the IPCC

All of these projects contribute to the transfer of hard and soft technologies related to climate change mitigation.

Farmers should also look beyond their own farms, and participate in efforts of the whole rural sector to mitigate climate change.

Developing sustainable sources of energies is, without any doubt, one of the keys to mitigating climate change and its adverse effects.

In conclusion, Professor Bolin noted that there were a large number of policies and measures to mitigate climate change which could be achieved at limited or no cost.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

The adoption of mitigation and adaptation policies is the responsibility of Governments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Here, too, changing perceptions of climate change offer renewed hope for progress. Spurred by increased public awareness and mounting evidence that national economies can reap net benefits from policies to mitigate climate change, governments worldwide are pledging to do so and taking to multilateral forums to display those commitments.

He observed that the costs of climate change mitigation should be compared with the price of inaction, and that the overall costs of such mitigation measures might not exceed the damage caused by a single storm.

Because of climate panic, our attempts to mitigate climate change have provoked an unmitigated disaster. We will waste hundreds of billions of dollars, worsen global warming, and dramatically increase starvation.

It is of the utmost importance that climate change issues and problems be identified so as to enable the design of appropriate instruments and tools with which to mitigate their effects.

General description There is a need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which is leading to climate change.

Cross sectoral dialogue and cooperation are needed to achieve best practices to combat climate change, as well as coordination and integration of sector policies having an impact on climate change.

Within the framework of the overall EU policy on climate change, Ireland launched a national CO2 abatement strategy in June 1993.

It was noted that adaptive and mitigating measures generally have different objectives, while the former aims to reduce the adverse impacts or enhance the benefits of climate change and the latter aims to reduce GHG emissions or to increase sequestration by sinks.

In order for climate change policy and regulation to be effective, policy goals developed under different government structures must be harmonized.

(b) Mitigation of climate change with a focus on

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was planning its third assessment report, which would have a new focus on the regional impact of climate change directed in particular at policy makers.
