1. Practitioner perspective Merylyn Hedger local government, NGO, University UKCIP, Environment Agency. (N and S)

2. Environment Agengy: Delivers the operational side on environmental protection and undertakes monitoring. Covers water resources, flooding, air and water quality etc. Is responsible eg for Thames barrier which protects London, currently being redesigned up to 2100.

4. Outline What works What are the issues What SBSTA can do (priorities)

5. What works: phases Awareness raising, Support- guidance for studies, scoping studies, then quantitative Develop/modify standards & policies with CC factored in Let others then get on with it MAINSTREAMING PROCESS

6. Important: Communication-links to global level and mitigation vital and valuable. Work with specialised target policy communities in partnerships: regional/ local/ sectoral Keep balance between “doing” and talking.

7. Need Leadership and resources to mobilise effort- small support group. Time to negotiate- “CC facilitators” Underpinning tools (scenarios etc.) Disseminate with good communication products (NGOs )

8. Mainstreaming means that: CC is in “other” departments, organisations research plans, business plans, strategic plans CC can help drive existing agendas (water, flooding, building, resource productivity and waste management)

9. Issues How handle very long term infrastructure with uncertainty e.g nuclear waste Keeping attention with other environmental problems Handling the CC package: droughts and floods

10. What SBSTA can do Create new networks of practitioners New perspectives on capacity building (exchanges N/N S/N S/S) Share best practice on tools/ scenarios Develop stock of implementation case studies

11. Methodology issues Keep it accessible- TIME CONSTRAINTS ON READING IPCC done by academics - new types of Technical Reports- joint ownership of research and practitioner communities?

12. SBSTA can: Through Governments, lead identification of key processes “outside” (aid agenda, disaster management, EU Directives) and make linkages Work out models of delivery (streamline APF)
