Increased funding opportunities are needed for climate change adaptation as well as mitigation measures.

First, the tsunami disaster illustrated the lack of a systematic disaster management framework, including disaster mitigation measures, in many countries.

In order to address that problem, special adjustments might be considered, such as the mitigation measures adopted two years earlier.

Debris mitigation measures would be voluntary and it was vitally important therefore to encourage involvement and build consensus so that all would be prepared to abide by the agreed measures.

8. Further requests the Secretary General to ensure that targeted mitigation measures are put in place pursuant to established minimum operating security standards

Such risk evaluations or information on alternative risk mitigation measures submitted by Parties may be found on the Rotterdam Convention web site (www.pic.int).

She said that Uruguay developed a programme of measures for mitigation and adaptation that includes vulnerability analysis, and identified adaptation measures for agriculture, biodiversity, coastal resources, water resources, fishery resources, and human health.

These guidelines should be followed in assessing and proposing mitigation measures for any tourism development in areas of high biodiversity, within or outside protected areas.

To preserve the livelihoods of farmers and support the growing world population, adaptation and mitigation measures are both essential responses in planning for climate change.

Prevention and mitigation

Some delegations were of the view that IADC should continue to work separately on the development of technical measures on space debris mitigation and should continue to keep the Subcommittee informed of future revisions of the IADC guidelines, as well as evolving technologies and debris mitigation practices.

Climate Change 2001 Mitigation.

The view was expressed that the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines were solid, technically based measures for any nation to adopt and implement in its national space activities.

TNCs could proactively engage in the mitigation of such negative effects, including through special measures to minimize the local economic impacts of plant closures and significant staff reductions.

Radiation mitigation and standard setting

In the review of the claims in the fifth F4 instalment, the Panel has considered whether appropriate measures of mitigation would have reduced the damage in any particular claim.

Remote sensing satellites were useful in formulating disaster mitigation measures and in monitoring, and could assist in risk analyses by promoting understanding of the processes that led to natural disasters.

It is essential to focus on the local level, helping communities and local governments to take simple disaster mitigation measures and put elementary early warning and evacuation systems into place.

in the workshop on mitigation assessments

Integration of emergency sanitation measures into disaster preparedness and mitigation policies and plans could help avert epidemics of waterborne diseases when large numbers of people are displaced by disasters or conflicts.

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.

Some delegations expressed the view that in order for States to continue having unrestricted access to outer space, all space faring nations should be implementing space debris mitigation measures as expeditiously as possible.

Global hands on training workshop on mitigation assessments

While his delegation supported mitigation measures, it wished to underscore that such adjustments must not lead to increases in the rates of assessment of developing countries, as had happened with the scheme of limits.

Since the effects of climate change have been observed in many areas around the world, thinking about mitigation makes sense everywhere. But we found that mitigation

He stressed that even if stringent mitigation measures would be implemented they would have limited impacts on the number of people at risk from floods, because of lag times in the atmosphere and ocean systems.

The Committee noted that the United States had endorsed the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines and that its domestic agencies were implementing debris mitigation practices consistent with them.

Agriculture was cited as a typical sector having considerable potential not only for integration of mitigation and adaptation but also for integration of mitigation into economic and rural development.

The view was reiterated that compliance with all space debris mitigation measures would involve additional costs for all commercial operators and it would therefore be desirable to explore ways and means to provide technical and economic support.

As global warming and climate change are specifically targeted for review, the Commission, at its present session, must pay attention to the serious impact that both mitigation and adaptation measures will have on workers, workplaces and communities.

The Subcommittee noted that the United States had endorsed the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines and that its domestic agencies were implementing debris mitigation practices consistent with the IADC guidelines.

The Subcommittee had also made significant progress on space debris mitigation, having agreed on a two year workplan to develop a document based on the IADC space debris mitigation guidelines.

The discussion covered various issues, such as Convention synergies, drought management, governance, rural land use practices, and the integration of drought mitigation into investment planning and science and technology for drought mitigation.

Space technology offered tremendous potential for assisting in disaster response and mitigation.

Support by farmers' organizations of individual farmers in adaptation and mitigation initiatives

Adaptation funding from public sources reached 23 26 billion in 2012 2013. According to a recent assessment by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, global financial flows for mitigation and adaptation measures amounted to 340 650 billion in 2011 2012.

Almost all Parties that have submitted their initial national communication as of 1 April 2005 provided information on research and systematic observation relating to climate change impacts, vulnerability assessment and adaptation options, and measures for addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (mitigation).

Meteorological observation from satellites mitigation was contributing to improved weather forecasting and the prevention and mitigation of natural disasters such as hurricanes, as well as efforts to address the devastating effects of climate change.

22 8 Further improvement of environmental emergency prevention, preparedness, assessment, response and mitigation

The recent earthquake and tsunami triggered a debate on the need for the establishment of regional early warning mechanisms for disaster prevention, development and the strengthening of response preparedness, mitigation and contingency planning, as well as measures to prepare communities for future disasters.

These crises have also highlighted the undeniable need to prioritize disaster management and mitigation.

The women's leadership programme on conflict mitigation and peace building has started in Indonesia.

In that regard, they committed themselves, with the necessary support of the international community, to strengthen the International Strategy for Disaster Reduction and related small island developing State regional mechanisms and facilities to improve national disaster mitigation, preparedness and early warning capacity, among other measures.

That handbook would be useful in designing passivation, re orbiting and other debris mitigation activities.

Throughout the sessions, participants had the opportunity to discuss technical concerns relating to mitigation assessments.
