to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including by contributing to the Global Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Fund and to the Adaptation Fund as made operational by the Poznan Conference on Climate Change (COP 14 and COP/MOP 4), to adapt to the impacts of climate change and to fund research and development as well as demonstration projects for reducing emissions and for adaptation to climate change, including participation in initiatives within the framework of the Eu ...[+++]ropean Strategic Energy Technology Plan and the European Technology Platforms.

Our funding plan to adapt to climate change includes $15 million for research to improve climate change scenarios; $14 million for a program to assist northerners in assessing key vulnerabilities and opportunities for adaptation; $7 million for climate change and health adaptation in northern and Inuit communities; $14.9 million for Health Canada and the Public Health Agency to work with partners to develop pilot climate and infectious disease alert and response systems ...[+++] to protect the health of Canadians from the impacts associated with the changing climate; and $35 million for risk-management tools for adaptation at Natural Resources and to support the development and implementation of regional programs.

13. REITERATES that since climate change is already occurring and its impacts are already being felt and are even intensifying, adaptation is a necessary complement to mitigation policies and, in this context, LOOKS FORWARD to the further development and implementation of the five-year programme of work on impacts, vulnerability and adaptation to climate change; ENCOURAGES all countries to integrate adaptation into ...[+++] relevant decision-making processes; REAFFIRMS the need to operationalise the Adaptation Fund which will promote measures to facilitate adaptation by supporting concrete adaptation projects and programmes and assisting developing countries which are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol and are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change in meeting the cost of adaptation".

11. REITERATES that mitigation of climate change is the cornerstone of present and future climate change policies and that, since climate change is already occurring, adaptation to climate change is a necessary complement to such policies; REITERATES that even with significant emission reductions over the coming decades, societies in developing and ...[+++] developed countries have to prepare for and adapt to the consequences of some inevitable climate change; NOTES that postponing mitigation will increase the need for adaptation or may even render it impossible, e.g. in case of rapid, non-linear changes; EMPHASISES that the feasibility of adaptation strategies depends to a large extent on the level of mitigation; REITERATES that incorporating the consideration of climate risks into poverty reduction strategies and national strategies for sustainable development is key to minimising developing countries' vulnerability to climate change;
