INTERMINABLY SHORT  PITCH  FOR:

THE LIMA ADAPTATION KNOWLEDGE INITIATIVE

Thank you Chair for the opportunity to update SBSTA on the progress in the implementation...to identify and prioritise adaptation knowledge gaps at the sub-regional level...to catalyse action to fill the prioritized knowledge gaps.

Following the endorsement of LAKI by the COP President at COP 20, SBSTA, at its 41st session encouraged the implementation of the initiative in other subregions, particularly in vulnerable developing countries, such as the LDCs. . . adaptation experts identified and prioritized 16 adaptation knowledge gaps in the course of the workshop. They then characterized the deliverables that would fill those gaps and identified  the  institutions  that  could  contribute to the  production  of  those deliverables.  UNEP together with the secretariat will now be working with those institutions to catalyse the necessary action.  Experts and institutions working in these  subregions  are invited to  consider these  priority knowledge gaps and incorporate  relevant  actions  into  their  plan  of  work  to  close  these priority knowledge gaps.

This is not to suggest attending COP21 is a waste of time. The entire proceedings are webcast, so fly into Le Bourget, put your laptop in your saddle bag, and get a zero emission horse to join the indigenous people of Normandy in prioritizing the production of sub-regional calvados deliverables, and catalyzing action against the relevant adaptation knowledge gaps of hunt saboteurs and  the weekending Parisian climate bores who  compete with the region's real boars for the title of the ugliest customers in the neighborhood.
