| 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. | ||||||||
