MITIGATION vs ADAPTATION
!Despite our mitigation efforts, climatechange is happening
!EU goal: to maintain global warmingat + 2°C (pre-industrial times)
!Efforts in mitigation and adaptation are complementary- the more mitigation done the less adaptation needed and viceversa
ADAPTATION
MITIGATION

o 2004 :Decision 280/2004/EC concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for implementing the Kyoto Protocol
o 2005 : ECCP II Communication 2005 "Winning the battle against global climate change“
o 2006: Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 on certain fluorinated greenhouse gases

Contributing to establish a European framework to
" improve the resilienceof social and economical systems as well as ecosystems across Europe and in other parts of the world,
" reduce their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change
" ensure that crucial areas such as food security, human health, ecosystem protection, economic and social cohesionand energy supplyare guaranteed

INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
" UN Framework Convention for Climate Change- Article 4-requirement to establish national or regional programmes with measures for climate change adaptation + obligation to cooperate in preparing for adaptation
" Adaptation very high on the agenda of the UN climate change conference in Bali(Dec 2007)
" Adaptation is one of the building blocks of the Bali Action Plan(structure for the negotiations on post-2012) to be adopted in Copenhagen, in 2009- equal footing with mitigation
" EU, through bilateral and multilateral channels, has provided support to programmes and measures to enhance adaptive capacity
in developing countries and most vulnerable countries.

Water : too much or too little !
" Water Scarcity and Droughts–2007 Communication
" Full implementation of the Water Framework Directive – key tool !
" Based on four pillars
! Putting the right price tag on water
! Allocating water more efficiently
! Improving drought risk management
! Fostering water performance technologiesand practices
! What’s new : Studies on biofuels, water provision options, demand scenarios – report autumn 2008 !
2007 Directive on the assessment and management of flood risks -
" Preliminary flood risk assessmentof their river basins and associated coastal zones by 2011
" Where real risks of flood damage exist (at least a 1 in 100 year event), flood hazard mapsand flood risk mapsby 2013
" Flood risk management plansfor these zones by 2015
" Revision every 6 yearsin a cycle coordinated and synchronised with the Water Framework Directive

Green PaperAdaptation to Climate Change
Based on four pillars" Early action in the EU
" Integrating adaptation into EU external actions
" Reducing uncertainty by expanding climateresearch
" Involving European society in the preparation of comprehensive adaptation strategies
![Page 13: Towards a Framework for ADAPTATION to Climate Change to climate change/Maria Brattemark... · Towards a Framework for ADAPTATION to Climate Change Insight in EU policy making process.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041302/5e1287ce50baaa02a71d88fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
OUTCOME OF STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION
" Easier for respondents to identify problems than solutions
" Areas most vulnerable identified: water, health and biodiversity, tourism and agriculture
" There is a regional variation with regard to vulnerable areas, impacts and policy responses
" A “one size fits all” approach will not work
" A flexible EU Framework for action could be applied
" Urgent responseis required
" Adaptation and mitigation must be considered together
" More researchand knowledge gathering is required
" Greater public debate and awareness raisingneeded

" The problem- Main areas of vulnerability and uncertainties" The benefits of early action at EU level" Developing a culture of reducing risk and vulnerability
( for each of following areas different options could beconsidered)
" Awareness raising" Land use " Infrastructure" Market based instruments
" Funding mechanisms" Capacity building, research" Principles for action

" Synergies- Priority to measures good for mitigation and adaptation. " No regret- Priority to measures beneficial irrespectively of
uncertainties " Precautionary principle- consider worst-case scenario measures,
even if uncertainties are high (cases where the costs or the magnitude of the impacts in such scenarios would be unacceptable)
" Solidarity - between MS, regions, social groups" Flexibility and subsidiarity - Adapt° policy should be dynamic and
flexible " Knowledge based-Adapt° policy should be based on scientific
evidence" Proportionalit y- measures must be cost-effective and proportionate" Sustainability- Measures must be in line with sustainable
development
Principles for action
