In the UK, a Flood Risk Management Plan is currently being developed to protect London and the Thames Estuary for the next 100 years. A multi-faceted study of adaptation options underway includes 337 km of coastal defenses with nine barriers. | EXAMPLESEXAMPLES OFOF CLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECHANGE ADAPTATIONADAPTATION SomeSome ExamplesExamples ofof ClimateClimate ChangeChange AdaptationAdaptation • In the Netherlands, the design of (unavoidable) new engineering works with a long lifetime like storm surge barriers and dams will incorporate an expected SLR of 50 cm. • The designed discharge for the Rhine in the Netherlands will be increased from to m3/s by 2015 and it is planned to increase to m3/s in Maeslantkering storm surge barrier the long term, due to CC. near Rotterdam completed in 1997 The first case under the new rule to incorporate 50 cm SLR.

Many countries have developed “National Adaptation Program of Action, NAPA” such as: Bangladesh (2005), Bhutan (2007), Burundi (2007), Cambodia (2006), Comoros (2006), Djibouti (2006), Eritrea (2007), Guinée (2007), Haiti (2006), Kiribati (2007), Lesotho (2007), Madagascar (2006), Malawi (2006), Mauritania (2004), Mali (2007), Niger (2006), Congo (2006), Rwanda (2006), Samoa (2005), Sénégal (2006), Sudan (2007), Tomé E Príncipe (2006), Tuvalu (2007), Tanzania (2007), Zambia (2007). China announced “Climate Change Program”in July 2007. Some Challenges to the NAPAs About 45 countries have undertaken NAPA processes, as of Sep. 2007, about 21 NAPA reports have submitted to UNFCCC. Many methods are used to capture current social, economic and environmental vulnerability to existing climatic stresses and future risks. Challenge 1: Identify a priority sector, region, population and climate threat
