Climate finance kato(oecd) finance in 2015 agreement-ccxg gf sep2014
This document outlines a discussion on how the 2015 climate agreement could mobilize climate finance. It identifies four ways the agreement could contribute: 1) strengthening international institutional arrangements, 2) enhancing enabling environments in recipient countries, 3) supporting the use of a full range of financial instruments, and 4) elaborating and broadening measurement, reporting and verification systems. Specific options discussed for the agreement include encouraging coordination and information sharing, as well as addressing issues like definitions, tracking private finance, and building capacity for monitoring progress. The goal is for the agreement to indirectly facilitate scaling up climate finance through long-term shifts toward green financial flows.

Description of the
National
Military
Strategy
2018
The Joint Staff
1
Overview
The 2018 National Military Strategy (NMS) provides the
Joint Force a framework for protecting and advancing U.S.
national interests. Pursuant to statute, it reflects a
comprehensive review conducted by the Chairman with the
other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the unified
combatant commanders.
As an overarching military strategic framework, this
strategy implements the substantial body of policy and
strategy direction provided in the 2017 National Security
Strategy, the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS), the
Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), and other documents.
The 2018 NMS provides the Chairman’s military advice for
how the Joint Force implements the defense objectives in
the NDS and the direction from the President and the
Secretary of Defense.
The 2018 NMS also reflects lessons learned from
implementing global integration over the last two years. The
strategy articulates a continuum of strategic direction to
frame global integration into three strategy horizons to meet
the challenges of the existing and future security
environment. Force employment addresses planning, force
management, and decisionmaking to fulfill the defense
objectives of the NDS. Force development adapts functions,
capabilities, and concepts to improve the current Joint
Force. Force design innovates to enable the Joint Force to
do what it does differently to retain a competitive advantage
against any adversary.
The vision of the Joint Force articulated in the 2018 NMS is
a Joint Force capable of defending the homeland and
projecting power globally, now and into the future.
2
Strategic Approach
From its global perspective, the NMS premises an adaptive
and innovative Joint Force capable of employing its
capabilities seamlessly across multiple regions and all
domains -- continuing the transition from a regional to a
global mindset and approach.
This strategy
anchors its
approach against a
set of clearly
identified security
trends outlined in
the NDS (see inset).
These trends,
especially those
posed by the
reemergence of
great power
competition with China and Russia, represent the most
difficult challenges facing the Joint Force. However, the full
scope of global integration must recognize uncertainty and
be vigilant for emerging threats to the security and interests
of the United States, its allies and partners. In a security
environment where the homeland is no longer a sanctuary
and every operating domain is contested, competitors and
adversaries will continue to operate across geographic
regions and span multiple domains to offset or erode Joint
Force advantages.
To achieve military advantage over competitors and
adversaries, the NMS introduces the notion of joint
combined arms, defined as the conduct of operational art
through the integration of joint capabilities.

NAP Expo 2015 Session VII, IV Regional approaches & NAPs
Regional approaches to climate change and disaster risk reduction (DRR) are beneficial for Pacific island countries due to limited national capacity, separate coordination of climate change and DRR efforts, and overlap between the two issues. A regional approach allows for greater efficiency, coordination, optimal use of resources, and stronger governance. National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) provide an opportunity for countries to systematically address development and risk management challenges in an integrated way within their national context using both overseas development assistance and climate financing. Linking NAPs to joint national action plans (JNAPs) through national task forces, representation from NGOs and civil society, and established consultation processes can leverage tools like NAPAs and national communications.

It aims to provide expeditionary and decisive landpower capabilities to prevent, shape and win in support of combatant commanders. The Army's strategic priorities are to develop adaptive leaders, maintain a globally responsive and regionally engaged force, ensure a ready and modern army, and sustain committed soldiers. The document also examines initiatives like Force 2025 to create a more agile and expeditionary force by 2025 and potentially transform the force even further beyond 2025 to conduct expeditionary maneuver.OTN General[september 24, 2009]
The Office of Trade Negotiations (OTN) was established in 1997 as the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery (CRNM) to coordinate Caribbean trade policy and negotiations. In 2009, it was incorporated into the CARICOM Secretariat to strengthen its role. The OTN facilitates regional trade negotiations on behalf of CARICOM states in forums like the WTO and bilateral agreements. It develops negotiating strategies, builds capacity, conducts research, and mobilizes resources to help Caribbean states maximize benefits from global trade. The OTN is funded by member state contributions and donor support for its programs and receives guidance from the CARICOM Council for Trade and Economic Development.

Description of the
National
Military
Strategy
2018
The Joint Staff
1
Overview
The 2018 National Military Strategy (NMS) provides the
Joint Force a framework for protecting and advancing U.S.
national interests. Pursuant to statute, it reflects a
comprehensive review conducted by the Chairman with the
other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the unified
combatant commanders.
As an overarching military strategic framework, this
strategy implements the substantial body of policy and
strategy direction provided in the 2017 National Security
Strategy, the 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS), the
Defense Planning Guidance (DPG), and other documents.
The 2018 NMS provides the Chairman’s military advice for
how the Joint Force implements the defense objectives in
the NDS and the direction from the President and the
Secretary of Defense.
The 2018 NMS also reflects lessons learned from
implementing global integration over the last two years. The
strategy articulates a continuum of strategic direction to
frame global integration into three strategy horizons to meet
the challenges of the existing and future security
environment. Force employment addresses planning, force
management, and decisionmaking to fulfill the defense
objectives of the NDS. Force development adapts functions,
capabilities, and concepts to improve the current Joint
Force. Force design innovates to enable the Joint Force to
do what it does differently to retain a competitive advantage
against any adversary.
The vision of the Joint Force articulated in the 2018 NMS is
a Joint Force capable of defending the homeland and
projecting power globally, now and into the future.
2
Strategic Approach
From its global perspective, the NMS premises an adaptive
and innovative Joint Force capable of employing its
capabilities seamlessly across multiple regions and all
domains -- continuing the transition from a regional to a
global mindset and approach.
This strategy
anchors its
approach against a
set of clearly
identified security
trends outlined in
the NDS (see inset).
These trends,
especially those
posed by the
reemergence of
great power
competition with China and Russia, represent the most
difficult challenges facing the Joint Force. However, the full
scope of global integration must recognize uncertainty and
be vigilant for emerging threats to the security and interests
of the United States, its allies and partners. In a security
environment where the homeland is no longer a sanctuary
and every operating domain is contested, competitors and
adversaries will continue to operate across geographic
regions and span multiple domains to offset or erode Joint
Force advantages.
To achieve military advantage over competitors and
adversaries, the NMS introduces the notion of joint
combined arms, defined as the conduct of operational art
through the integration of joint capabilities.

Why disaster risk reduction is all our business
presentation used in a training programe for the Development planers to understand the multi stakeholder responsibility towards Disaster Risk reduction.
NAP Expo 2015 Session VII, IV Regional approaches & NAPs
Regional approaches to climate change and disaster risk reduction (DRR) are beneficial for Pacific island countries due to limited national capacity, separate coordination of climate change and DRR efforts, and overlap between the two issues. A regional approach allows for greater efficiency, coordination, optimal use of resources, and stronger governance. National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) provide an opportunity for countries to systematically address development and risk management challenges in an integrated way within their national context using both overseas development assistance and climate financing. Linking NAPs to joint national action plans (JNAPs) through national task forces, representation from NGOs and civil society, and established consultation processes can leverage tools like NAPAs and national communications.

Responding to Regional Conflicts: How Good are SADC´s Reflexes for Peacekeeping - George Abel Mhango - Mzuzu University - 2012 Conference: Peacekeeping and Peace Enforcement (September 2012 - Lusaka, Zambia)
- 1. Responding to Regional Conflicts: How Good are SADC’s Reflexes for Peacekeeping? A paper presented at the Southern African Centre for Collaboration on Peace and Security Conference on ‘Peacekeeping and Peace Enforcement in Southern Africa,’ Chrismar Hotel, Lusaka, 21-23 September 2012 George Abel Mhango, Mzuzu University
- 2. Outline of Presentation • Context of Peacekeeping in SADC • Potential for Peacekeeping in SADC • Practice of Peacekeeping within SADC • Conclusion
- 3. Background • UN recognizes the role of sub-regional organizations in conflict resolution on the basis of their comparative advantage and also for burden sharing purposes. • Since its establishment, SADC has experienced conflict situations which have put the organization’s response mechanisms to the test. • In most cases a collective approach to peacekeeping has been rare. (eg Lesotho and DRC)
- 4. Potential for Peacekeeping • The formation of a SADC Brigade in 2007 – A contingent of the African Standby Force • Designed to be a 6000 strong contingent equipped with inter alia, a brigade HQ, 4 infantry formations, reconnaissance & engineering capabilities. • As of 2009 it had undergone two successful readiness exercises (MAPEX and CPX) and one field training (Golfinho) involving 8000 soldiers • Brigade was expected to be ready for deployment by 2010.
- 5. AU’s Assessment of SADC Brigade in 2009 Framework Documents Done Memorandum of understanding Done PLANELM Done Brigade HQ Not Done Pledged Units Done Civilian Component On-going Centre of Excellence Done Standby roster On-going
- 6. Practice of Peacekeeping • The Politics of Capacity – The slowness in operationalizing the SADC brigade which was expected to be ready by 2010. (financial Constraints - Pro -donors vs Anti-donor camps) • Absence of Joint training doctrines that can address the military, police and civilian aspects of the Brigade • DRC remains the biggest flop of SADC peacekeeping ambitions (A thorn in the flesh). • Dismal showing reflects a bigger problem - the lack of consensus on the level of integration suitable for the region. Lack of normative congruence.
- 7. What ‘Burden Sharing’ Implies for SADC’s Response to Peacekeeping • SADC must avail resources for purposes of peacekeeping (A huge challenge given SADC’s perennial cry for financial resources. May impede on the operationalization of the SADC brigade). • There must be demonstrable political commitment by SADC heads of states. (Calls for a proactive Summit that is able to decide on peacekeeping. Further calls for a common approach)
- 8. Conclusion • The commitment of peacekeeping by SADC remains a the level of rhetoric as long as its ‘standby’ force cannot respond to manifest violent conflict in the region. • Without political commitment at summit level to respond, the administrative aspects of peacekeeping will not translate into a meaningful outcome.
