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

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

Contributions of the Least Developed Countries Expert Group to the national adaptation programme of action process

The real breakthrough usually comes in the wake of a lengthy and gradual process of change and adaptation.

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.

Tools and processes to be used in a replication process must encourage adaptation, not adoption, of the exemplary practice.

Mr. Florin Vladu, UNFCCC secretariat, gave an overview of technologies for adaptation to climate change in the UNFCCC process.

The LEG also initiated efforts towards setting the benchmarks for the NAPA process and adaptation action, with the objective of identifying good practices in the NAPA process, as well as in the selection and implementation of adaptation projects which could be of use to LDCs in the NAPA implementation phase.

Adaptation is an ongoing and reiterative process that includes information development, awareness raising, planning, design, implementation and monitoring.

Feedback from the least developed countries on the national adaptation programme of action process and on support from the Least Developed Countries Expert Group

Cluster 2 on adaptation, technology, science, project based mechanisms and compliance consolidates the secretariat's contribution to Parties' work on adaptation to climate change and on the development and transfer of technologies, and to the flow of scientific information into the intergovernmental process, including on methodologies.

She highlighted the importance of promoting technology transfer within the UNFCCC process and welcomed activities on the ground that transfer technologies for adaptation to developing countries.

The Age of Adaptation

Adaptation Fund

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

It is important to emphasize that this process requires exploring all physical aspects of the additional positions, including the adaptation of the relevant equipment, preparation of the staff and additional activities.

The process of revising E ICEF Organization Rev.3, which included adaptation based on the core commitments to children in emergencies, is ongoing in conjunction with the organizational review.

Acceleration and adaptation of existing programmes

The Adaptation Imperative

It's a very clever adaptation of religions.

Review of draft national adaptation programmes of action

He gave an overview of the NAPA process, and provided examples of adaptation projects identified by NAPAs and associated applicable technology, including improving yields through irrigation and changes in crops or tree types.

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.

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.

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.

Some areas are more affected by funding unpredictability and or shortfalls than others they include Article 6 of the Convention, inventory issues, facilitation of flow of scientific information into the Convention process, and adaptation assessment.

And all of this because of cumulative cultural adaptation.

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.

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).

Adaptation Fund (Agenda item 9)

The organizational situation within the secretariat mirrors the situation in the intergovernmental process work on adaptation related activities has been undertaken in several programmes, coordinated through an internal task force.

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

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.

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.

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.

Another adaptation would be this piece.

(d) Stimulating adaptation research and technology

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.

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.
