(c) Climatic conditions

The country has to contend with harsh climatic conditions and the occurrence of regular natural disasters.

Many of the geographically disadvantaged countries suffer from adverse agro climatic conditions and are susceptible to natural disasters.

Mountain States are characterized by remoteness, difficult accessibility, the scarcity of information, harsh geo climatic conditions, and high costs of living.

A few Parties with suitable soils and climatic conditions for growing sugar cane are considering further investment in bagasse production (Brazil, Cuba, Mauritius and others).

Other illnesses related to nutrition are the anemia (with incidence in the pregnant woman) and the bócio in situations of bad climatic conditions, cases of marasmo and Kwashiorkor are found in very poor families.

Geographic, hydrographic, hydrological, hydrogeological, climatic, ecological, and other natural features

2. Declares its solidarity with the Government and the people of Djibouti, who continue to face critical challenges owing, in particular, to the scarcity of natural resources, harsh climatic conditions and the continuing critical situation in the Horn of Africa

This increase is attributed to a combination of human factors and climatic factors.

The secretariat's report identified major factors responsible for Africa's failure poor governance, geography and distance from leading markets, low population density, harsh climatic conditions, and the fact that some of its countries were landlocked. To these factors the speaker added the people's low purchasing power.

National circumstances could relate to, inter alia, climatic conditions, economic development, operation or management practices, types of oil and gas activity, or the age of equipment or installations and their technical features, forest and soil characteristics, depending on the source or sink category in question.

More favourable climatic conditions, the positive impact of disarmament, changes in the administration and an expansion of the national army and police forces have had a positive impact on the human rights situation in the areas of origin of IDPs, leading to increased opportunities for return.

The climatic factors of concern include droughts and projected reductions in freshwater availability due to global warming.

The spacing, altitude and age of beach ridges are being studied to help assess climatic variations during the Holocene.

2. Declares its solidarity with the Government and the people of Djibouti, who continue to face critical developmental and humanitarian challenges owing, in particular, to the scarcity of natural resources, coupled with harsh climatic conditions and the acute issue of water supply impacting on the development aspirations of the country

The country's climate is also affected by two large high pressure systems which determine climatic conditions throughout central and west Africa, namely, the Libyan anti cyclone, over north and north east Africa, and the St. Helena anti cyclone, centred over the Atlantic to the south west of the African continent.

Documentation of existing coping strategies At its sixth meeting, the LEG agreed that work be initiated on developing a database on local coping strategies, noting the importance of disseminating information on experience in using indigenous knowledge to support the identification of adaptation options by LDCs which share similar climatic conditions.

Other challenges in preventing and controlling malaria include anomalous climatic changes that lead to epidemic conditions, the increase of water development schemes, increasing population movements, the emergence and spread of drug resistant strains, the unaffordability and shortage of the new artemesinin based combination therapies, and inadequate supplies of long lasting insecticide treated nets.

Institutional capacity, including limitations in Accessibility of project sites due to climatic, geographic and infrastructural conditions (inappropriate vehicles, bad roads, etc.) Socio economic data and technical tools (e.g. access to and execution of biophysical and socio economic models) Capacity of institutions holding and managing databases Scientific, technical and institutional capacity to implement projects.

Notable plans include Brazil Advances within the Program of Climatic Change of the Brazilian Federal Government's Multi year Plan (2000 2003).

India reported atmospheric and climatic research that focuses on developing customized general circulation models (GCMs) and regional circulation models for South Asia.

New programming tools, including the systematic use of standards and indicators and participatory assessments with refugees, allowed for improved quantification of the needs of refugees and articulation of the gaps due to resource constraints, but the delivery of assistance remained affected by difficult conditions, security problems, food shortages, logistical problems, climatic constraints and serious funding shortages.

Although several countries did not provide details of their observation stations, all Parties have synoptic, climatic, meteorological, sea level, rainfall and hydrological monitoring stations.

Armenia counts on a network of as many as 45 meteorological stations, 3 climatic stations, and 70 meteorological, 105 river and 7 lake observation sites.

Because sustainable development was often complicated by the unfavourable geographical or climatic conditions of many Non Self Governing Territories, the United Nations and its specialized agencies had a particularly important role to play in planning and implementing economic and social development projects as well as building capacity to deal with natural disasters and providing basic services, education and vocational training and communications.

The problem is that one is now seeing armed forces operating in climatic areas which may be more severe than their weapons have been tested to.

A climatic model developed by James Hansen of NASA that took all three factors into account came closer to simulating observed temperature changes than had previous models.

Taking note of the surprising and preoccupying decision of the United States of America as to leaving the Kyoto Protocol on Climatic Changes after having signed it

They were pitchforked into battle in unfamiliar lands, in climatic conditions to which they were neither accustomed nor prepared, fighting an enemy of whom they had no knowledge, risking their lives every day for little more than pride. Yet they were destined to remain largely unknown once the war was over neglected by the British, for whom they fought, and ignored by their compatriots.

(d) There is a need to improve the assessment methodologies taking into account not only the symptoms of desertification but also the driving forces climatic, institutional and socio economic.

Some very unusual weather conditions, very difficult ice conditions.

But again, these are done in these primordial conditions, really messy conditions, not sort of sterile laboratory conditions.

The report of the Secretary General echoed the repeated warnings of the Rio Group about the increased intensity of natural disasters and climatic phenomena, which called for an integrated approach.

These include participation in the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment, the Climatic Predictability and Variability Initiative, Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate, and the Arctic Climate System Study.

The Executive Board shall consider the types referred to in paragraph 4 above and develop, for consideration by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (COP MOP) at its first session, default factors for assessing the existing carbon stocks and for simplified baseline methodologies, taking into account, if appropriate, types of soils, lifetime of the project and climatic conditions.

For example, the EU s policy notes that foreseen flexibility rules can compensate for local climatic, cultural, or structural differences. When suitable alternatives are lacking, some (strictly enumerated) synthetic chemicals are allowed.

Unstable malaria areas may therefore be prone to epidemic outbreaks, largely as a result of climatic factors, and because low levels of immunity affect people of all ages, with severe health consequences.

The harmful effects of water, originating from an imbalance and unequal distribution of natural elements (water regime, climatic, geological, topographical and human activities) are evident in the wider area of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Desertification is defined by the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification as land degradation in arid, semi arid and dry sub humid areas resulting from various factors, including climatic variations and human activities .

But the conditions for compassion to be activated, to be aroused, are particular conditions.

Entrepreneurial framework conditions

Poor hygiene conditions.
