    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.
