UNCCD policy brief 2:

This paper addresses the climate change agreements under negotiation and advocates for policy measures that would enable governments with vulnerable communities to adapt to predictable and unknown climate change-related hazards. It raises the issues of: risks and vulnerabilities from climate change (especially communities living in drylands affected by desertification and land degradation); adaptation approaches (hazards-, vulnerability-, adaptive capacity-, and policy-based approaches); and policy proposals on adaptation (such as early warning systems, coping mechanisms, mitigation activities support adaptation, joint forest management, etc.)
