Reducing vulnerability due to Climate Change, Climate Variability and Extremes, Land Degradation and
Biodiversity Loss: Environmental and Developmental Challenges and Opportunities for LDCs
|
|
|
|
As the LDCs and their partners prepare to enter into a new partnership - the New Ten-Year Programme of
Action on LDCs - to be adopted at the forthcoming Fourth UN Conference on LDCs in Istanbul, Turkey in
May 2011, it is important to identify priority areas of effective international support that can
successfully support LDCs to manage climate change and harness green deal opportunities. The meeting
aims to provide an opportunity for different stakeholders, the UN system, LDC Parties, Civil Society,
and Donor community to share information on progress in addressing climate change and other
environmental challenges in LDCs over the last 10 years. The Meeting is expected to come up with
concrete ideas and recommendations on deliverables in the area of Reducing vulnerability due to Climate
Change, Climate Variability and Extremes, Land Degradation and Biodiversity Loss for LDCs, which will
feed into the draft outcome document of the Fourth UN Conference on LDCs.
