Traduction de «une stratégie d'adaptation » (Français → Anglais) :

· Strong synergies with adaptation to climate change as outlined by the EU Strategy on adaptation to climate change[18], on cross cutting areas such as sharing of data and knowledge, assessment of risks and vulnerabilities, urban resilience, development of European standards for climate resilient infrastructure, coherence between national adaptation strategies and risk management plans, tracking of resilient investments[19].

There is a crucial need for the direct participation of northern residents and institutions and all forums where adaptation strategies are discussed, since northerners are best positioned to understand and assess their vulnerability and also to assess adaptation responses.

The entire subcomponent was for $15 million over a number of years split between science, impacts, and adaptation work, with the mandate of studying impacts and adaptation and also developing adaptation strategies.

(Return tabled) Question No. 141 Ms. Kirsty Duncan: With respect to climate change and international and national security: (a) what does the government project are the potential impacts on currently stable regions of the world of such climate change-related phenomena as, but not limited to, (i) rises in sea level, (ii) increases in extreme weather events, (iii) increases in the spread of infectious disease, (iv) increases in environmental refugees; (b) what does the government project will be (i) the consequences of the impacts identified in (a)(ii), (a)(iii), and (a)(iv) on domestic military missions, (ii) the consequences of (a)(i), (a)(ii), (a)(iii), (a)(iv) and (b)(i) in terms of the military’s capacity to respond and the availability ...[+++] of troops for missions not related to conflicts induced by climate change-related phenomena; (c) what does the government project will be the potential impacts on already-weakened states of such climate change-related phenomena as, but not limited to, (i) sea level rise, (ii) extreme weather events, (iii) the spread of infectious diseases; (d) what does the government project will be the extent of the effects climate impacts could have on already-weakened states, including, but not limited to, (i) expanded ungoverned spaces, (ii) further weakened and failed states, (iii) increased conflicts, (iv) increased migrations; (e) what does the government project will be the impact of the effects identified in (d) on Canada’s national security; (f) which nations does the government project will be most affected by climate change, (i) what is the government’s assessment of each such country’s capacity to adapt or cope, (ii) what, if any, action is Canada taking to strengthen the capacity of weak governments to better cope with societal needs projected to arise as a result of climate change-related impacts, (iii) what is the government’s assessment of possible security risks if Canada does contribute to international efforts related to ...

It will ensure that the Canadian workforce is highly skilled, adaptable and resilient, that will add to a flexible and efficient labour market, and will respond to the needs of employers to ensure that our workplaces are productive, innovative and competitive.

11. REITERATES that mitigation of climate change is the cornerstone of present and future climate change policies and that, since climate change is already occurring, adaptation to climate change is a necessary complement to such policies; REITERATES that even with significant emission reductions over the coming decades, societies in developing and developed countries have to prepare for and adapt to the consequences of some inevitable climate change; NOTES that postponing mitigation will increase the need for adaptation or may even render it impossible, e.g. in case of rapid, non-linear changes; EMPHASISES that the feasibility of a ...[+++]daptation strategies depends to a large extent on the level of mitigation; REITERATES that incorporating the consideration of climate risks into poverty reduction strategies and national strategies for sustainable development is key to minimising developing countries' vulnerability to climate change;
