3-4 December 2011 | Durban, South Africa

Highlights from Saturday, 3 December
Development and Climate days at COP17

Development and Climate Days at COP 17 opened on Saturday morning, 3 December 2011. Participants met in four sessions on: the value of vulnerability assessments; monitoring, evaluating and prioritizing adaptation options; research effectiveness in contributing to adaptation, drawing on experiences in the UK Department for International Development (DFID)/International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Programme (CCAA); and evidence from impact and vulnerability assessments, and the implications for adaptation planning, from the Adapting to Climate Change in China Programme (ACCC).

The day’s formal proceedings ended with an informal panel discussion on sharing and cooperation between Africa and China regarding adaptation. In the evening participants attended a cocktail hosted by Fairtrade.
