The significant remaining gaps in our knowledge on climate change, its impacts and adaptation strategies pose obstacles to improving and accelerating implementation of climate policies.

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.

Needs for technologies for adaptation to climate change

There is a need to continue to expand scientific research on global climate change with a view to deepening knowledge on the impacts of climate change and also to coming up with new approaches and agricultural practices that are climate friendly and, at the same time, with a view to achieving greater production efficiency and developing bioenergy sources.

The Changing Climate On Climate Change

Environmentally sound technologies for adaptation to climate change

Model for the Assessment of Greenhouse Gas Induced Climate Change (MAGICC) and Global and Regional Climate Change Scenario Generator (SCENGEN).

And the problem is the following knowledge that geo engineering is possible makes the climate impacts look less fearsome, and that makes a weaker commitment to cutting emissions today.

A need was expressed for equipment for monitoring GHG and climate.

These activities increase Parties' understanding of the possible impacts of climate change and prepare Parties for developing sound climate change strategies.

Improve the business climate for Small and Medium Enterprises.

In the years to come DIVERSITAS, another international global change research programme, dealing with biodiversity, will provide data and enhanced knowledge on the links between climate change and biological diversity.

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.

The second response to climate change, called adaptation, requires that we ready ourselves for the climate change now underway and the increased climate change to come in future years. This means preparing for hurricanes that are more powerful in both intensity and duration.

Creating and maintaining a favourable climate for investment is essential.

Noting that climate variability, rather than climate change, is an ever present regional concern, he said that coping with present day variability would go a long way down the road towards adapting for climate change.

A greater dialogue among the members of the farming community is needed to improve the documentation of their position on the issue of climate change and also in order to exchange knowledge.

Several Parties in the Caribbean are researching climate change and related issues under the Caribbean Planning for Adaptation to Global Climate Change project in Guyana.

They should also produce traditional knowledge centred curricula for integrating traditional knowledge in mainstream education.

Mr. Richard Klein, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany, and UNFCCC consultant, presented the draft background paper on Technology to understand and manage climate risks .

Research needs Parties indicated a need for more research in several areas to allow them to monitor the localized effects of climate variability and climate change.

Knowledge would offer similarly monumental benefits. Science magazine recently published research suggesting that universal education, by giving populations the appropriate intellectual tools and skills they need, is the single most efficient mechanism for adapting to climate change and reducing fatalities associated with extreme weather events.

In that connection, General Assembly resolution A RES 1721 (XVI) had called for a study on measures to advance the state of atmospheric science and technology so as to provide greater knowledge of basic physical forces affecting climate and to develop existing weather forecasting capabilities.
