MUSCAT: An international workshop titled 'Adapting to Climate Change' on Monday discussed ways to enhance the Sultanate of Oman's capabilities to address the repercussions of climate change.
The three-day workshop, held in Muscat, aims to draft a National Adaptation Plan. It will focus on the 'adaptation component' quoted in the third report codenamed 'Nationally Determined Contributions' or (NDC3). It will also discuss relevant national policies and plans. The NDCs outline how each country intends to cut down greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change as part of its commitment to contribute to the global effort to limit warming.
The workshop, which reflects the Sultanate of Oman's commitments cited in Paris Climate Agreement, is organised by the Environment Authority in cooperation with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and attended by representatives of government departments and international organisations.
The workshop seeks to boost the Sultanate of Oman's ability to adapt to climate change in a systematic manner, ensuring the protection of communities and vital economic sectors, while at the same time supporting the process of sustainable development amid rapid climate change scenarios. - ONA
