Transfer of Environmentally Sound Adaptation Technologies under the UNFCCC: A Discussion Paper Presented by: Joel B. Smith, Paul B.

KEY ISSUES Start a dialogue: Identify what we mean by adaptation technologies How is this different or does it compliment technology transfer relating to climate variability? What process can be used to address transfer of adaptation technologies?

What is the Choice for Adaptation? Reactive climate change adaptation An action taken in response to climate change A farmer switches to drought tolerant varieties of crops in response to a drier climate Is this because of climate change or variability? Anticipatory climate change adaptation An action taken before climate changes An oil drilling platform is built higher to anticipate sea level rise Focus on anticipatory adaptations for now because they are based on climate change

Two Types of Anticipatory Adaptations No regrets (win-win) Make sense under current climate conditions Have more benefits under climate change e.g., reforms, water conservation technologies Can include mitigation technologies Low regrets Marginal changes in practices, processes, or structures because of climate change e.g., expansion of beach set backs, marginal changes to infrastructure being built anyway

Two Types of Adaptation Technologies Soft Technologies Capacity building, planning, institutions Hard Technologies Hardware, Infrastructure, Monitoring

Soft Adaptation Technologies

Hard Adaptation Technologies

Preliminary Steps for Transferring Adaptation Technologies Demonstrate a country or region’s vulnerability to climate change. Demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of adaptation strategies. Define the roles of various groups in the technology transfer process. Develop action plans that address priority needs. Capacity building needed to address these.

Defining Roles Developing countries. Play dominant roles in assessing and deter-mining needs and im-plementing adaptations. Develop Action Plans Developed countries. Participate in identifying strategies, setting standards, and removing barriers.

Defining Roles (cont.) Private sector. Provide technologies and expertise. NGOs. Identify technology needs, adverse consequences, and promote transfer. Research community. Develop hard and soft technologies, provide training.

Reactive Adaptations May eventually become an issue Problems Costs Attribution Source: USBR.

Conclusions Focus on anticipatory adaptations Focus initially on soft technologies Capacity building for assessment Setting standards for assessment and evaluation Identify and remove barriers Developing countries should develop action plans Need to be collaborative Address removal of barriers Can include pilot projects Examine how can build on existing programs
