They understood it, they embraced the technology and they run with it, and they re successful.

The use of space technologies in the economy of the Russian Federation

Emphasis will be placed on entrepreneurship development, managerial and technical skill upgrading, quality improvements, application of appropriate technology and diversification into higher value added activities.

He emphasized the applications of space technology to disaster management.

Would access to information on country experiences with technologies for adaptation be useful?

The Co Chair noted that, in 2002, the TEAP Task Force on Destruction Technologies had determined that there were a number of technologies that were theoretically feasible, but had not demonstrated evidence of technical capability.

He said many countries identified soft technologies, such as geographic information systems and technologies for measurement, monitoring, and verification such as tide gauges, rather than hard technologies for adaptation.

Much important work was done to develop tools for identification and evaluation of soft and hard technologies for adaptation.

To introduce cleaner technologies for gold extraction and to train the miners in their application

Consideration should be given also to new technologies for adaptation and to their adoption and implementation based on local experiences and circumstances.

Mr. Vladu noted that technological approaches to adaptation include both hard technologies such as capital goods and hardware, as well as soft technologies such as knowledge of methods and techniques which enable hard technologies to be applied.

Lessons learned from applications of space technologies in support of disaster relief efforts.

Application of knowledge management techniques.

The Subcommittee acknowledged the offer of Kazakhstan to share its experience and capacity in space technology development and applications and in other information technology applications.

(3) Training on Application of Information Technology

Space technology applications programmes

Special consideration should be given to the economic and cost implications of such technologies and their role in bringing ICT to underprivileged sections of the population in developing countries.

In principle, it does not seem reasonable to consider any technology as intrinsically bad. Rather, it should be recognized that it is the use that can be made of them that could have negative connotations.

There's so many things we can do with this right now.

There's also been work done with monkeys.

Biotechnology related applications and products have permeated all sectors of the economy.

He pointed out that conducting a TNA for technologies for adaptation is more complex and challenging than for mitigation technologies and highlighted several key aspects in the identification of technology needs for adaptation.

And so, they had minimal technology, but they had some technology.

44. Invites the Committee to expand the scope of international cooperation relating to the social, economic, ethical and human dimension in space science and technology applications

The technologies, applications and initiatives identified for inclusion in the report are those with the potential to strengthen inter agency cooperation.

1. Affirms that scientific and technological progress should be used for the benefit of all mankind to promote the sustainable economic and social development of all States and to safeguard international security, and that international cooperation in the use of science and technology through the transfer and exchange of technological know how for peaceful purposes should be promoted

On the issue of ICT use by SMEs in developing countries, more attention should be given to the issue of technology transfer in order to address the lack of know how in this regard.

Adaptation to climate change involves more than merely the application of a particular technology.

Every stage of an infrastructure endeavour, from planning through maintenance, involves assessing and applying a wide range of technologies and associated management techniques.

The compendium guide could include, in addition to a list of technologies, background information on the development of these technologies, experience in their application, and best practices.

Among the many lessons learned from the seminar, participants mentioned the importance of synergy and the value of sharing country experiences, awareness of the tools available for evaluating technologies for adaptation, and the role of technologies for adaptation in different sectors, such as water and health.

Outputs Establishment and or strengthening of regional centres of excellence for agro processing and or rural technology centres Techno economic support provided to pilot rural agro enterprises through the introduction of appropriate improved technology and upgraded skills Seminars, workshops, international reports, publications and other relevant global forum contributions.

Major importance is attached to the skills obtained through better use of information and communication technology.

Several developed countries underscored the importance of assessing practical next steps to promote the transfer of these technologies, analysing the means for disseminating useful technology information to countries, exploring synergy between adaptation and mitigation technologies, and enhancing the capacity of countries that need technologies.

Nuclear techniques are also increasingly being used in environmental applications.

In order to promote the sharing of knowledge, experiences and lessons learned in ICT development and to apply ICT more effectively for development and for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, the establishment of databases of good practices was proposed, including practices involving financial mechanisms, the use of ICT applications and national programmes.

The UN Millennium Project Task Force recommends that developing countries should focus on platform technologies that have broad applications or impacts in the economy, such as information and communications technology (ICT), biotechnology, and new materials.

However, the quality of the information can only be judged based on a sound technical appreciation of the integrity of the results yielded by each technique in the specific situation to which it is applied.
