CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION

Vision A productive and profitable future for American agriculture based on a research program that correctly anticipates changes and provides the tools for producers to adapt to them Mission Develop and provide adaptation, mitigation, and management strategies to the individual farm, ranch, and rural community, and to natural resource decision- makers to allow them to derive optimal benefit from the positive aspects of global change and deal effectively with the detrimental effects. USDA National Program 204: Global Change Strategic Vision

Climate change is a significant and emerging threat to public health, and changes the way we must look at protecting vulnerable populations. The climate change and health workplan aims to: support health systems in all countries, in particular low- and middle-income States and small island States, in order to enhance capacity for assessing and monitoring health vulnerability, risks and impacts due to climate change; identify strategies and actions to protect human health, particularly of the most vulnerable groups; and share knowledge and good practices.

The UNESCO Climate Change Adaptation Forum (UCCAF) should contribute to improve adaptation and resilience to risks posed from climate variability and change, amidst other stressors, by informing public and private sector stakeholders (national policy makers, vulnerable communities and women, the local media, social, cultural and scientific networks and local, regional and international scientific organisations) in agriculture, fisheries (including aquaculture), forestry, alternative energy, fresh water, oceanography, environmental sciences, and coastal services of the longer-term climate projections and their potential impacts, as well as strengthen capacity for appropriate response strategies.

Sustainable developmentSustainable development has been defined as balancing the fulfillment of human needs with the protection of the natural environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but in the indefinite future.natural environment The field of sustainable development can be conceptually divided into four general dimensions: social, economic, environmental and institutional. The first three dimensions address key principles of sustainability, while the final dimension addresses key institutional policy and capacity issues.sustainability
