Financial flows and investment for mitigation and adaptation

Assessing comprehensiveness and effectiveness of mitigation and adaptation measures

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

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.

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

Social and economic information on the impacts of climate change and on mitigation and adaptation measures

(ii) Supporting the implementation of monitoring and early warning systems and of relevant mitigation and adaptation technologies

Several sources of financing for adaptation and mitigation efforts in developing countries could be made operational relatively quickly.

Policymakers should thus pursue integrated solutions that combine climate change adaptation and mitigation with broader societal concerns, including development.

Mr. Noble noted that funds for mitigation and adaptation to climate change are limited and must be used effectively.

To be sure, the issues are complex and difficult, especially those of financing adaptation and mitigation efforts in poorer countries.

Some participants said synergies between mitigation and adaptation are important, while others said that coordination rather than synergies were important.

However, no matter how significant their efforts, farmers and their organizations cannot bear the responsibility of adaptation and mitigation alone.

The adoption of mitigation and adaptation policies is the responsibility of Governments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

He pointed out that conducting a TNA for technologies for adaptation is more complex and challenging than for mitigation technologies and highlighted several key aspects in the identification of technology needs for adaptation.

Fighting climate change can be a sound investment, even though neither mitigation nor adaptation alone will be enough to solve the problem.

Some Parties also provided a detailed breakdown of research initiatives and results of research studies into climate change impacts, adaptation and mitigation.

Small island developing States like mine have often indicated our concern with adaptation to and mitigation of the effects of climate change.

Mr. William Kojo Agyemang Bonsu, Ghana, said his expectations focused on identifying technologies that can promote both climate change mitigation and adaptation activities.

Funds are needed to invest in new low carbon energy sources, reforestation and protection of rain forests, land use changes, and adaptation and mitigation.

One of the key answers for farmers with respect to climate change mitigation and adaptation lies in the development of sustainable sources of energy.

To create or strengthen the capacity to develop, evaluate and implement response strategies, including mitigation and adaptation measures, including specific projects for external funding

Going forward, they should be part of how we do development differently. Mitigation and adaptation are equal partners one without the other makes no sense.

We allocated 50 billion to research into greener technology, so that only 750 billion could be absorbed by the economic cost of adaptation and mitigation.

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.

Appropriate policies and regulations that are needed to create incentives and remove barriers to climate change adaptation and mitigation have not always been fully implemented.

So must mitigation.

Prevention and mitigation

IV. DISASTER MITIGATION

The new negotiations will have one advantage over the earlier efforts, because governments now understand the need for a portfolio of adaptation, mitigation, and research efforts.

But, since the Monterrey conference, major additional development finance needs have been identified, including aid for trade schemes and financing for climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Noting that most countries adopted a sectoral approach for TNAs, he outlined criteria for prioritizing options and the share of adaptation and mitigation options by sector.

Fighting climate change can be a sound investment, even though neither mitigation nor adaptation alone will be enough to solve the problem. To make a real difference, especially in the near term, the world must combine mitigation and adaptation with increased research and development into carbon saving and sequestering technology, which in turn requires designing and exploiting market based incentives.

English Adaptation

If significant financial resources are to be generated for mitigation and adaptation, developing countries will want a representative say in how that money is to be allocated and spent.

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.

Scientific, technical and socio economic aspects of impacts of, and vulnerability and adaptation to, climate change Scientific, technical and socio economic aspects of mitigation of climate change Methodological issues

Supports the fight against climate change through the extension of the flexible mechanisms of the UNFCCC Kyoto Protocol as well as the development of appropriate mitigation and adaptation strategies

In the discussions, participants underlined the necessity to strengthen the regional approach for dealing with environmental transboundary issues, and reinforce cooperation for mitigation of and adaptation to climate change.
