Times of India: At the time when developing countries including India are pitching to have a global climate deal with "adaptation" goal as its key component, a UN body on Friday dropped a bombshell for rich nations, saying the cost of adapting to climate change is likely to reach up to $210-300 billion per year by 2050 even if the global greenhouse gas emissions are cut to keep the temperature rise below 2 degree Celsius this century. This concern is expressed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)...

Reuters: The cost of adapting to climate change in developing nations is likely to be two to three times higher than previous estimates, even if planet-warming emissions are cut enough to limit global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius, a U.N. report said on Friday. The study said there was a chance that adaptation costs could climb as high as $150 billion a year by 2025 to 2030, and $250-500 billion per year by 2050, compared with earlier estimates of $70-100 billion yearly by 2050.

Times of India: With the countries here negotiating crucial points in the run up to the next year's global climate agreement, India on Wednesday made a strong pitch for giving more weight-age to "adaptation" measures in the new agreement at the time when rich nations are more obsessed with "mitigation" (cutting emission) efforts and goals. India also made it clear that the "adaptation is critical to the country's development paradigm" in view of climate change - a narrative which gained prominence ever since...

Madhyamam: With the ministerial-level talks to begin next week at the UN climate summit here, India Wednesday said its position remains very strong on the need for a balanced inclusion of adaptation efforts in the 2015 Paris agreement and less focus on mitigation. Sushil Kumar, interim head of the Indian delegation at the talks, said the first two days of the 12-day conference are "off to a good start" with discussions on adaptation and finance underway. He said that today countries participated in sessions...

George Shultz defies GOP in embrace climate adaptation

Bloomberg: As Ronald Reagans secretary of state, George Shultz faced off against Muammar Qaddafi, the Soviet Union and Chinese communists. His latest cause, though, is one few fellow Republicans support: fighting climate change. Two years ago, Shultz was alarmed when a retired Navy admiral showed him a video of vanishing Arctic sea ice and explained the implications for global stability. Now, the former Cold Warrior drives an electric car, sports solar panels on his California roof and argues for government...
