The Adaptation Imperative

The Age of Adaptation

On adaptation, he pointed out that households have been implementing different technologies for adaptation for decades, and that many decisions on adaptation are taken at the community level through farm associations.

Adaptation Adaptation has, since COP 8, emerged as a more central element of the climate change intergovernmental process.

He mentioned plans for an online database of adaptation options to share local knowledge and endogenous adaptation techniques.

It's a very clever adaptation of religions.

Endogenous technologies for adaptation to climate change

There was an urgent need for adaptation.

In the light of the internal review and the adoption of decision 1 CP.10, the Executive Secretary has initiated changes in the way the secretariat supports the intergovernmental discussion of adaptation and the related implementation activities.

He highlighted the APF project design, which involves assessing current vulnerability, characterizing future climate risks, developing adaptation strategies and continuing the adaptation process.

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.

Although the theme of the programme of work on adaptation on adaptation planning, measures and actions is the main place to address technologies for adaptation, technology components could be considered and actions could be identified also in its other main themes.

Possible areas of work on technologies for adaptation should be further discussed Mitigation and adaptation further understanding of the cross cutting nature of mitigation and adaptation technologies and to what extent they can be considered as complementary activities is recommended.

Mr. Bonduki said that the adaptation learning mechanism aims at maximizing global learning and contributing to the incorporation of adaptation strategies into development planning.

The programme of work on adaptation is another important activity that should take advantage of work done on technologies for adaptation to climate change.

The EGTT could contribute directly to the programme of work on adaptation in the area of technologies for adaptation and in related subject areas.

The point being that they've developed cultural adaptation.

Review of draft national adaptation programmes of action

I can't be certain if the staircase is an adaptation rather than a bug, but if it is an adaptation, then the implications are profound.

He also presented some examples of technologies for adaptation identified in TNAs completed by Albania and Mauritius and in national adaptation programme of actions (NAPAs).

This guidance may address issues relating to incorporating adaptation concerns in the project's cost benefit analysis and mainstreaming adaptation projects in the national development agenda.

And all of this because of cumulative cultural adaptation.

Adaptation measures should be focused on efficiency and conservation.

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.

The secretariat's activities relating to adaptation and the implementation of the Buenos Aires programme of work on adaptation and response measures, including impacts, vulnerability assessments, systematic observation, adaptation planning and response measures, which are presently coordinated across different programmes, will be consolidated in one programme.

Of course, funding is not the only component of a successful adaptation strategy. As the adaptation report emphasizes, closing gaps in technology and knowledge is also crucial.

Some Parties discussed and evaluated the costs of adaptation measures for various scenarios of sea level rise, and estimated the opportunity costs of undertaking no adaptation measures.

She stressed that adaptation is a cross cutting activity under the UNFCCC and that the SBSTA, as requested by decision 1 CP.10, is preparing a five year structured programme of work on adaptation that would address four main themes methodologies, data and modelling vulnerability assessments adaptation planning, measures and actions (where most of the work on technologies for adaptation fits) and integration into sustainable development.

Ms. Izumi Kubota, Japan, urged discussion on improving TNAs, exchanging and disseminating information on existing technologies for adaptation, and mainstreaming adaptation in sustainable development policies at national levels.

Mr. Bonduki presented an overview of the UNDP Adaptation Policy Framework (APF), and said the framework treats technologies for adaptation as coherent packages of soft and hard responses.
