The European Commission has today adopted a new guideline to help Member States in updating and implementing their national adaptation strategies, plans and policies. This guideline includes;
- A call for legal frameworks instead of soft policies;
- Regularly updated adaptation strategies and plans;
- climate risk assessments, based on the results of regular stress testing of infrastructure and systems;
- Involvement of all relevant stakeholders, including those particularly vulnerable to climate change as well as those who might be important agents of change in the planning and implementation of adaptation actions.
- Involvement of all relevant sectors and all levels of public administration, endowed with sufficient personnel and financial resources;
- Continuous monitoring and evaluation of all adaptation actions.
