La MONUSCO carecía de una infraestructura de incineración adecuada para el tratamiento de desechos médicos generados por instalaciones médicas. (...)

In particular, the work programme should focus on the following elements: • as a critical first step, enhancing understanding of the risks and losses that vulnerable countries are facing and likely to face from climate change impacts; • developing the “building blocks” necessary to ensure the effective functioning of adaptation policies, risk management and loss and damage approaches, including identifying (extensive) gaps in risk exposure data, risk modelling and regulatory and implementation frameworks, and discussing potential strategies to address these needs; • sharing, synthesizing and promoting relevant knowledge, expertise and good practice in addressing climate change impacts through risk management, risk transfer and rehabilitation approaches; • understanding the means available to assess what strategies or approaches are likely to be most practical and effective for the local needs and circumstances of vulnerable countries, for example through cost-benefit analysis and program evaluation. (...) In Australia’s view, the work programme on loss and damage can advance existing discussions through: • facilitating enhanced coordination, co-operation and knowledge management through providing a forum to share and consolidate experiences and lessons learnt; • engaging and drawing on the technical expertise of established practitioners, programs and institutions, such as the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UN ISDR) and World Bank’s Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery; • complementing and ensuring coherence with existing risk management and reduction frameworks such as the Hyogo Framework for Action 2005 – 2015; • bringing to bear a specific focus on loss and damage risks associated specifically with climate change impacts, as distinct, for example, from broader disaster risks; • ensuring that the work programme on loss and damage continues to complement the broader adaptation framework, bearing in mind that risk transfer and rehabilitation approaches should not undermine incentives for risk management and good adaptation planning, or distract from the core challenge of promoting a primary focus on climate compatible development; • given the local nature of climate change impacts, recognising that the role best performed by the UNFCCC is to catalyse and facilitate support for the implementation of nationally, and where appropriate, regionally driven responses. 8 Paper no. 2: Bolivia (Plurinational State of) Posición del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia CONTRIBUCIÓN PARA OPINIONES E INFORMACIÓN SOBRE QUÉ ELEMENTOS DEBEN INCLUIRSE EN EL PROGRAMA DE TRABAJO PARA ABORDAR PÉRDIDAS Y DAÑOS ASOCIADOS CON LOS IMPACTOS DEL CAMBIO CLIMÁTICO El Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia presenta sus puntos de vista sobre “los elementos que deben incluirse en el programa de trabajo para abordar pérdidas y daños asociados con los impactos del cambio climático”. (...) Finally, to ensure well-founded recommendations, it is Canada’s view that the discussions should include consideration of: o costs, benefits and risks associated with each risk management, reduction and sharing mechanism, with particular regard to benefits for the most vulnerable countries and communities; o effectiveness of various mechanisms for incentivizing adaptation/avoiding maladaptation; o advantages and disadvantages of micro, national, regional and international scales of implementation; o the roles of governments, the private sector and civil society organizations, including innovative partnership approaches to advancing adaptation; o short, medium and long-term steps required to establish mechanisms, including those that have co-benefits for other aspects of adaptation (i.e., climate data, strengthening observation networks etc); o effective and proven approaches to encourage the engagement of the private sector in risk reduction or risk management; o institutional and human resource capacities to implement recommended activities; o effective and proven tools for sharing risk at pilot or regional scales; and o how these mechanisms fit within the context of the full spectrum of actions required for adaptation and risk reduction for events unrelated to climate change.

For all options listed below, activities under Article 3, paragraph 4,1 other than forest management will be considered in due course. Option 12 A. (...) Article 3, paragraph 4 Net-net with base year Amend current paragraph 9 to include forest management AND Leave caps in place (current para. 11). (...) OR Net–net with base period Amend to include provisions for how a Party is to establish a base period for forest management over which anthropogenic emissions and removals will be assessed, and how anthropogenic emissions and removals from forest management during the subsequent commitment period will be assessed against the base period.

Projects are aimed at reforming national legal and financial systems or enhancing data management systems that would facilitate data flows for progress indicators for international conventions, including the UNFCCC. 35. (...) The mitigation projects will aim to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in the participating countries, while the adaptation projects will focus on adaptation issues in a variety of sectors, such as water resources, coastal zone management, and agriculture. The GEF-PAS was developed in close and extensive consultation with Pacific Island Country officials and experts The Strategic Investment Program for Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Saharan Africa 45. The Strategic Investment Program for Sustainable Land Management in Sub-Saharan Africa (SIP) is a response from the GEF to support Sub-Saharan African countries in pursuing the multi-sector, long-term programmatic approaches needed to scale up sustainable land management (SLM).

Currently efforts are under way to establish an integrated coastal zone management programme and a major project to modernize land use and information management — the Land Use Policy and Administration Project — has begun with technical and financial assistance provided by the Inter-American Development Bank. (...) The NDS aims to address the major land administrative and management challenges facing the country (land tenure security, land administration and management) through the successful implementation of three project components: Land Administration Modernization, Land Information Management and National Land Issues and Policy Guidelines. (...) In 1988 the Land Use, Management and Conservation Law defined the watershed as the management unit and created Watershed Committees to develop Watershed Plans that in conjunction form the National Land Management Plan.
