A climate transition has to be informed by the best scientific understanding of climate change, the most cost-effective response and have widespread support. Ocean Eng 37:4–12. Soc Forces 87(2):1015–1038. The tool also has a ‘responsibility bar’ that allows the user to attribute responsibility for emissions based on how much responsibility they think the exporting country should have. Springer, Cham, pp 365–381, Haque M, Pervin M, Sultana S, Huq S (2018) Towards establishing a national mechanism to address loss and damage: a case study from Bangladesh. 2014). They are therefore forced to implement the bare minimum largely copycat type of technology. Responsibility for meeting the costs of adaptation.

Themes on values … It will also be important to reach a solid basis and agreement on what the hard limits from a technological point are for climate change risks, such as for sea-level rise, to avoid contentious political discussions on operationalising the L&D mechanism. Focal points in each country are responsible for the collection of high-quality, accessible and timely data on the indicators. You also have the option to opt-out of these cookies. The climate justice project aims to provide accessible discussions of some of the justice related issues that underpin an effective response to climate change. Kates et al. Dialogue, Coordination and Coherence on Loss and Damage. UNESCAP (2015) Overview of natural disasters and their impacts in Asia and the Pacific, 1970–2014. Burton I (2004) Climate change and the adaptation deficit. To maximise utility, these databases must be inclusive, capture the poor and vulnerable, be interoperable, preferably open-access, timely (regularly updated) and represent different granularity levels from global to local. The Technology Facilitation Mechanism (TFM) that supports the implementation of SDGs has similar characteristics as the UNFCCC’s TM, but is still in its early stages, as it started about 5 years later.3 It aims to ensure equitable access to key technologies and knowledge for developing countries.

Reporting framework for technology to address Loss and Damage and contribute to climate justice. Most CBEWS initiatives start at the project or pilot level and face difficulties in scaling up and becoming sustainable. 2012).

Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, NY, USA, IPCC (2014) Climate change 2014: synthesis report. President Trump’s tax cut led to trillions in stock buybacks and created new incentives to shift profits abroad.

Current Opinion Environ Sustain 5(3):384–391. Evaluating climate justice – attitudes and opinions of individual stakeholders in the United Nations Framework Climate Change Convention Conference of the Parties. What role do we as individuals have to play and what action is most effective? Key question: Disaster loss databases exist and are regularly updated. Oxfam Policy Practice: Clim Change Resil 8(1):1–26, Regmi BR, Cassandra S, Walter LF (2016) Effectiveness of the local adaptation plan of action to support climate change adaptation in Nepal. Over 10 million scientific documents at your fingertips. After a disaster, women and girls typically face difficulties in accessing hygienic menstrual products. In: Field CB, Barros V, Stocker TF, Qin D, Dokken D, Ebi KL, Mastrandrea MD, Mach KJ, Plattner G-K, Allen S, Tignor M, Midgley PM (eds) Adaptation. Margot A.

IEEE Engineering for Change created an online, decision-aid platform where users can search and compare technology-based solutions. We identify windows of opportunities to include technology for climate justice more strongly into the crossover from adaptation to L&D in the climate agreement, but also to make sure there is a linkage to the other key global agreements. 2012). Kates et al. These cookies do not store any personal information. Governance mechanisms are directly related to the ownership and institutional arrangements around the use of technology (or orgware, as we will introduce in the next section). CBDR–RC is a principle within the UNFCCC that acknowledges the different capabilities and differing responsibilities of individual countries in addressing climate change. The transparency framework also aims at aggregating reporting on support offered and received, and gradually converging the review arrangements for developed and developing countries (ECBI 2017). We emphasise that this will be possible up to the hard limit, after which only L&D measures are possible. It is key to characterise the early warning-early action gap to a sufficiently quantitative extent and not—as is currently the case for HFA—in a multi-hazard, country-wide and mostly qualitative way. 2013). (2016). Innovations in the area of local data collection are urgently needed to reduce the current costs for data collection of water levels. Improving the recognition of political-economic factors in the creation of disasters. If no transformative action is taken, only curative measures remain as a last resort. https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/content/documents/2153OnlineTechnology%20Facilitation%20Knowledge%20Platform%20Oct%2028%202015_clean_final.pdf, https://www.justsecurity.org/41705/paris-binding-agreement-matters/, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2496968, http://www.climatecentre.org/news/849/hydropower-and-humanitarian-sectors-joining-forces-to-combat-flood-risk, https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-20-3549-2016, http://www.eurocapacity.org/downloads/Pocket_Guide_Transparency_under_UNFCCC/mobile/index.html#p=1, http://www4.unfccc.int/ndcregistry/PublishedDocuments/Nepal%20First/Nepal%20First%20NDC.pdf, http://unfccc.int/files/adaptation/knowledge_resources/databases/partners_action_pledges/application/pdf/iisd_furtherinfo_water_190411.pdf, http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/environment/communicating-progress-in-national-and-global-adaptation-to-climate-change_5jlww009v1hj-en, http://www.eurocapacity.org/downloads/Capacity_Building_under_Paris_Agreement_2016.pdf, https://policy-practice.oxfam.org.uk/publications/financing-the-sustainable-development-goals-lessons-from-government-spending-on-556597, http://eird.org/ran-sendai-2016/presentaciones/D2S2P1-ANDREW-MASKREY.pdf, https://www.munichre.com/en/media-relations/publications/press-releases/2017/2017-01-04-press-release/index.html, http://www.np.undp.org/content/dam/nepal/docs/reports/SDG%20final%20report-nepal.pdf, https://doi.org/10.23661/ndc_explorer_2017_2.0, http://unfccc.int/ttclear/misc_/StaticFiles/gnwoerk_static/events_SE-TEC-CTCN-COP21/d093a44fa4b34caabe125562e66b80b9/0595db8c40d34226be9b58999e59ba78.pdf, http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2012/sbi/eng/inf14.pdf, https://www.transparency-partnership.net/preparing-new-transparency-framework-%E2%80%93-lessons-learned-challenges-next-steps, http://www.refworld.org/docid/57b6e3e44.html, http://www.unescap.org/sites/default/files/Technical%20paper-Overview%20of%20natural%20hazards%20and%20their%20impacts_final.pdf, https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/docs/2006/tp/tp02.pdf, http://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2013/cop19/eng/10a01.pdf#page=6, http://unfccc.int/files/national_reports/annex_i_natcom_/application/pdf/non-annex_i_mrv_handbook.pdf, https://unfccc.int/resource/docs/2015/cop21/eng/l09r01.pdf, http://www.unisdr.org/files/43291_sendaiframeworkfordrren.pdf, http://www.preventionweb.net/files/45270_unisdrscienceandtechnologyroadmap.pdf, http://www.unisdr.org/files/53080_entrybgpaperglobalsummaryreportdisa.pdf, http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/841911468331803769/Main-report, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-72026-5_22, 22.1 Introduction: Unequal Impact of Climate Change and the Role of Key Global Agreements, 22.3 Technologies for Public and Private Actions to Address Loss and Damage, 22.4 Reporting Frameworks for Global, Regional, National and Local Policies, 22.5 Reporting Framework for Technology to Address Loss and Damage and Contribute to Climate Justice, Climate Risk Management, Policy and Governance.
