Abstract
At its second and third sessions, the Conference of the Parties requested the secretariat to prepare reports on adaptation technologies and to continue its work on the synthesis and dissemination of information on environmentally sound technologies and know-how conducive to mitigating, and adapting to, climate change (FCCC/CP/1996/15/Add.1, decision 7/CP.2 and FCCC/CP/1997/7/Add.1, decision 9/CP.3). At its eighth session, the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), encouraged the secretariat to continue its work on different adaptation topics
(FCCC/SBSTA/1998/6, para. 58 (h)). These topics were identified at a UNFCCC expert meeting on adaptation technologies held in conjunction with an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting on adaptation in Amsterdam from 20 to 22 March 1997 (FCCC/SB/1997/3, annex II) and are the subject of a series of technical reports on adaptation
technology in accordance with the work programme (FCCC/CP/1997/INF.1). An earlier technical paper provided on overview on adaptation technologies (FCCC/TP/1997/3). This technical paper expands upon the overview paper, focusing on various aspects of the development and transfer of coastal adaptation technologies in the context of the specific circumstances and special situations of small island states and countries with low-lying coastal areas
