  3. CONTEXT RELATED TO THE CONVENTION AND PK • Convention signed (mainly at Rio de Janeiro) and ratified later; • KP ratified; • Usually 1 delegate can participate to the UNFCCC meeting when it is possible, even the Secretariat funds it ; • When participate to UNFCCC meeting, this is reported back to the country at a high level accompanied by some proposals; • Initial National Communication elaborated and contained also proposals; • Some other protocol (bilateral) has been signed ; • Usually many texts of law in environment remain even ther are out of convention and KP, …

  4. PROBLEMS • Climate change appeared to be new : • for certain people, it is only a mess concept (it is mostly for international or developed countries?), it is not a high priority inside some developing countries; • for others, their attitude is due to a lack of deep understanding, there is a need to explaining them (CC is urgent to be tackled); • Almost all proposal had no feed back from high decision makers; • Very few capacity building on the issue is made: • Some others process linked has had no progress (GHG project) or has been blocked (SCN, other GEF funded projects); • Lack of capacity to work in team together within and between institutions; • Environmental issue is still being badly perceived; • Lack of finance, human resources and materials to be affected to the CC unit if it exists or to the National Climate Focal Point to build organisation;

  5. URGENT NEEDS Real needs to start solving problems are : • Awareness for people, mostly decision makers’ ; • Strengthening institutional capacity building ; • Enforcement of capacity building (policy, scientific, technical, …) ; • Development of technology transfer; • Development of finance mechanisms, …; • For mitigation: (highpotential of mitigation :forest, petroleum production and industry, waste, …); • For adaptation (assessment of vulnerability on health, flood, costal zone, water supplyat certain season, agriculture has been done) ;
