Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies

The range and dimensions of technologies for adaptation that can be considered are very large.

Sometimes that symbiosis has led to wonderful adaptations the hummingbird hawk moth is beautiful in its adaptation.

The tenth session of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention had adopted a programme of work on adaptation and response measures, an important step in mainstreaming adaptation into the international response to climate change and into sustainable development planning.

How does national governance adapt to the changing world?

Adaptation to climate change can be autonomous.

Identification and evaluation of technologies for adaptation to climate change

Culture suggests a society's capacity to survive and to adapt to change.

(d) Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change

Adaptation can also be reactive. It may be undertaken in response to an observed change.

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

Secondly, the Council's normative framework should be updated, so that it is better equipped to meet the demands of an evolving security environment and the changes in the nature of contemporary armed conflicts.

Finland has already adapted to major climate variability.

There is obviously a lack of guidance on climate change adaptation and also a lack of capital with which to put necessary adaptations into place.

This finds expression in resisting the pressure to conform to a changing society.

Integrating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction

I should like to suggest that the General Assembly be informed, at a suitable time, about the aforementioned change in the membership of the Committee.

Many technologies that can be used to adapt to climate change also have other, non climate, benefits.

It was noted that a broad approach to adaptation should be taken by addressing the transfer of technologies for adapting to climate change as well as technologies to reduce the impact of response measures.

Mr. Noble noted that funds for mitigation and adaptation to climate change are limited and must be used effectively.

Farmer initiatives to mitigate and adapt to climate change exist.

The countries best placed to benefit from globalization were those adapting to change and transforming their policies and structures to support more market based outward oriented growth.

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

Parties are encouraged to use the IPCC Technical Guidelines for Assessing Climate Change Impacts and Adaptations.

Given the lack of detailed regional information on climate change impacts, specific predictions and adaptations are difficult to make.

On the contrary, their members have proven the ability to adapt to evolving needs.

Measures contributing to addressing climate change

He noted that the paper provides an overview of current knowledge and understanding of adaptation to climate change and of the process of development and transfer of technology as relevant to adaptation to climate change, challenges, experiences and lessons learned in developing, deploying, transferring and applying ESTs for adaptation.

There are many examples of technologies that can be used to collect data, provide information and increase awareness for coastal adaptation to climate change, to plan and design adaptation strategies, to implement adaptation strategies and to monitor and evaluate their performance.

Many Parties also reported on plans to incorporate or integrate climate change concerns into their planning processes as a strategy for adaptation to climate change over the long term.

Because, quite literally, if agriculture doesn't adapt to climate change, neither will we.

22 3 Climate and atmosphere I Adaptation to climate change (subprogrammes 2 and 6)

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

UNFCCC Expert Meeting on Adaptation Technologies

And all of this because of cumulative cultural adaptation.

Many Parties also reported on plans to incorporate or integrate climate change concerns and issues into their planning processes as a strategy for adaptation to climate change over the long term.

Mr. Klein highlighted some issues outlined in the draft paper, including concepts and definitions of adaptation to climate change implications for developing and transferring technology a proposed conceptual framework for addressing technologies for planned adaptation to climate variability and change and policy issues.

(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
