We are appreciative of the support we have received and continue to receive in developing adaptation measures to climate change and sea level rise.

measures addressing adaptation responses to climate change

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.

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

II. ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE 7 44 4

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.

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

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 .

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,

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.

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.

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.

Responses revealed the positive progress made so far by all actors involved in the NAPA process, which can be seen in the fact that most LDC Parties are engaging in more advanced steps of the NAPA process.

Keenam, pemerintah harus sepakat untuk mendukung adaptasi perubahan iklim dan mengatasi kerugian dan kerusakan yang terkait.

Second, adequate resources should be made available to poor and vulnerable regions and countries to enable them to adapt to climate change.

Scientific advances and technological innovation have an important role to play in mitigating climate change and in facilitating adaptation to the new conditions.

Methodologies for vulnerability assessment, reporting in national communications, research and systematic observation, funding issues, adaptation technologies, addressing adverse effects of climate change, and impacts of response measures.

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

Africa s potential can be harnessed only by adaptation to climate change, using disaster risk reduction mechanisms.

The evaluation of technologies for adaptation to climate change includes an integrated assessment that combines numerous elements and has cross sectoral implications.

Endogenous technologies for adaptation to climate change

Table 3. Examples of types of adaptation to climate change envisaged for key vulnerable sectors in non Annex I Parties

The handbook needs to take a broader approach to assessment that addresses all the issues of adapting to impacts of climate change.

Small island developing States like mine have often indicated our concern with adaptation to and mitigation of the effects of climate change.

The study of the effects of climate change and adaptation to the impacts of climate change are also central objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.

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.
