Adaptation to climate change is a reality for all countries, and a comprehensive framework that allows all countries to adapt has to be created, said a UN climate body chief here on Monday.
"Adaptation needs to be a priority on our agenda, " said Yvo deBoer, the executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) at the opening ceremony for the 13th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP13) to the UNFCCC.
"It is essential that vulnerable developing countries are in a position to draw up plans to prepare for climate change impacts," said de Boer as the United Nations Climate Change Conference - Bali, 2007 is underway, poised for a breakthrough in international climate change negotiations.
