#6 Methodology: Estimating the costs of health and adaptation

• Understand the main linkages between climate change and health as well as it economic dimension.

• Appraise the policy relevance of health damage and adaptation costs, and how they can be used as arguments for public health prevention

• Recognize that health adaptation costs may occur in other sectors

• Learn the steps on estimating
  
  a) the costs associated with damage to health due to climate change,
  b) the costs for adaptation in various sectors to protect health from climate change an
  c) the efficiency of adaptation measures, i.e. the cost of adaptation versus the expected returns, or averted health costs.

#7 GHG Baselines and Monitoring in the Transport sector - Alternative fuels incentives, regulation and production.

• The CGE’s work on MRV and climate action.

• The Compendium on GHG Baselines and Monitoring: Passenger and Freight Transport.

• A range of methodologies, projects and policies that displace liquid fossil fuels through the use of cleaner technologies, and infrastructure and regulatory strategies. These are intended to reduce overall GHG emissions in the transport sector.

#8 Reporting information on technology needs in NC/BUR (with a focus on Technology Needs Assessment process).

• How they went about coordinating the inputs from TNA process to feed into their national reports;

• Opportunities they saw in coordinating between TNA and MRV processes under the Convention;

• Challenges they encountered in such coordination and how they overcame them.
