  1. Summary of the Submission of the United States On the development of a five-year programme of work on the scientific, technical and socio-economic aspects of impacts of, and vulnerability and adaptation to, climate change

  2. Objective of the Work Programme • To advance the application of scientific and technical information on and experience with impacts, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change by: • engaging key members of relevant sectoral communities to effectively utilize complementarities; • focusing on practical outcomes; and • encouraging adaptation to climate change in integrated and cost-effective ways

  3. Scope • Use water, agriculture and coastal zone management sectors to focus discussions in years 1-3: • Engaging national and local experts in relevant sectoral communities to share practical experience in addressing vulnerability and implementing long-term planning • Programs and priorities of key relevant international organizations (UN FAO, World Water Forum, OECD, etc.) • Adaptation experience of climate experts in the chosen sector • Consider integration with sustainable development and practical applications at local, national and international levels during each workshop and specifically in years 4&5

  4. Programme Structure

  5. Initial Activities • Agree on the general framework and structure for the five-year work programme: • Choose sectors • Identify relevant partners and experts • Establish format

  6. Further Development and Evaluation • The work programme should make full use of best available information and be structured in a way that allows for the inclusion of emerging information from other processes, such as the IPCC, as they become available • A stock-taking of the contributions of the work programme and consideration of possible next steps could be taken up at the conclusion of the five years
