Unfortunately many stakeholders still relate climate change actions only with mitigation measures. Adaptation is not given a due attention at the political level.
Hungary is in "medium" category. We suggest to move Hungary to high category. Explanation: National Adaptation Strategy was prepared at august 2013. Afterward, a broad discussion process has been launched which may lead to increase the general public awareness.
We would like to suggest to include Bulgaria in the list of countries that agree that public awareness of adaptation as a response has increased.
Medium willingness... Germany: Please delete Germany here and add Germany to high Willingness under Neutral to develop policies and neutral Public awareness.
Acknowledged that many stakeholders still relate climate change actions only with mitigation.
Accepted changes as requested and will include these in the updated tables, graphs and analysis
