Measures contributing to addressing climate change

Several Parties expressed a need to train personnel in the compilation and analysis of GHG inventories, and to keep abreast of refinements to the IPCC methodologies.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies All Parties followed the UNFCCC guidelines for reporting on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies

Measures need to be taken now to create that climate.

measures addressing adaptation responses to climate change

(a) adaptation measures (and expected impacts of climate change)

Climate change impacts, adaptation measures and response strategies Serious constraints to the assessment of vulnerability and adaptation in non Annex I Parties were the lack of data, quality control, archiving, retrieval, preparation and analysis of data to meet the demands of the methodologies for assessments, as well as Parties' inability to conduct the type of assessments that would generate results reliable enough to be incorporated into the national planning processes.

In addition, attempts were under way to create an environment conducive to investment and trade.

Secondly, tougher action must be taken to address climate change.

That was why the international community needed to adopt specific and targeted measures to help improve the investment climate in this continent.

For industry, this means ensuring that as the industrial base of the developing countries grows, the consumption of natural resources by industry remains contained through (a) greater resource efficiency by individual enterprises and (b) the implementation of circular material and energy flows through entire production chains (known collectively as sustainable industrial resource management SIRM).

They should also agree on effective measures to deal with climate change and enhance environmental protection.

UNIDO assists the Governments that are signatories to the Protocol to comply with the requirements of both the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol.

Money spent on sustainable development and climate action should be mutually reinforcing.

The Government had taken strong steps to create a social climate in which those types of practices would be eliminated.

The Changing Climate On Climate Change

And the agendas of the forthcoming G 7 and G 20 summits will both feature measures to combat climate change.

Sri Lanka had taken firm action to honour its commitments to offset the threatening effects of climate change and desertification.

Adaptive responses to climate change can, however, be incorporated into long term development planning if the link between future climate change and the impacts of present climate variability can be established.

Perubahan iklim juga akan menyebabkan kerugian besar, bahkan jika upaya upaya mitigasi dan adaptasi yang kuat mampu diterapkan.

The forthcoming Conference of the Parties to the Framework Convention on Climate Change in Montreal would deal with long term measures to combat global warming.

To reduce anticipated negative effects of climate change, preventive measures need to be developed and implemented.

Policies and measures needed to create an international environment that is strongly supportive of national development efforts are vital.

It is therefore imperative that the parties concerned undertake meaningful confidence building measures to create a climate of openness and mutual trust.

Canada is studying actions that may be needed to adapt to possible changes in the world s climate.

Conclusions per environmental problem

Scientists and engineers who work on climate change stress that governments need to adopt two main responses.

The EU is looking into possible policy measures, including trade related ones, to encourage other developed countries to take effective action to combat climate change.

We have great international experts within India telling us that the climate is changing, and actions has to be taken, otherwise China and India would be the countries most to suffer from climate change.

The developing world also has a serious fairness objection to paying for climate change mitigation. The advanced countries are collectively responsible for much of the current stock of carbon in the atmosphere, as well as for a significant (though declining) share of the world s annual emissions.

If we do not start to combat the flow of greenhouse gas emissions now, the stock in the atmosphere will continue to grow, making future action more difficult and costly. Other public expenditure can be postponed, but delaying climate change measures is a high risk, high cost option.
