Adaptation: Priority measures:
1) Institutional and system strengthening for downscaling climate change models, climate scenario-building, climate monitoring and observation;
2) Roll-out of science-based climate/disaster risk and vulnerability assessment process as the basis for mainstreaming climate and disaster risks reduction in development plans, programs and projects;
3) Development of climate and disaster-resilient ecosystem(s);
4) Enhancement of climate and disaster-resilience of key sectors – agriculture, water and health + 2 other highlighted priority measures.
Reduce GHG emissions by 70% (in relation to GHG emissions BAU levels (2000)) by 2030 conditional to external support in sectors of energy, transport, waste, forestry and industry.

Climate Vulnerable Forum can change the paradigm on dealing with climate change
The Climate Vulnerable Forum (CVF), consisting of nearly 50 of the most climate vulnerable developing countries, which was set up a decade ago on the basis of their common vulnerability to climate change, has now evolved into a more robust group of countries who are no longer only emphasising their vulnerability but rather moving towards resilience.
