Adaptation is part of the overall global efforts to address climate change. The broad objective of this program is to promote the integration of adaptation into sustainable development framework. The global demand to adapt climate change: Reducing the uncertainties of models, methods, and etc., for impact and adaptation analysis. Enhancing the capacities of Parties, in particular developing country parties, to address the impacts of, and adaptation to climate change. Specific objectives: Promotion of the developments and improvements of models, methods, and etc., that can significantly reduce uncertainties compared to current ones.

Scope of Work Program： Those elements identified at COP-10 are the basic elements Focus on scientific aspects Demonstration projects Program shall, at least, cover: Means and ways to promote the R&D of methods, models, and etc., so as to enhance the reliability and reduce uncertainties; and Means and ways to promote transfer relevant technologies and skills to Non-Annex I Parties, including demonstration projects. Outcomes by the end of the five years: A series of models, methods, and etc., with significant improvements, have been developed to be available for Parties in main areas as following: agriculture, water resources, coast zone management, integration of climate change into SD; Mechanism has been established to transfer relevant technologies and skills to developing countries. Initial Specific Activities: Identify issues related impacts and adaptation; Call upon inputs by Parties and other stakeholders; and Organize intensive technical training and dialogues for technical experts of developing countries. Review and further development: Program should be reviewed annually, and Further actions should be taken after annual review so as to promote the program development Thank You for your attention!
