It is worth noting that barriers related to insufficient capacity (lack of financial/human capacity; limited capacity in the policy, practitioner and/or research communities; and lack of knowledge exchange) was selected by 28 of 30 countries. This can be compared with those barriers related to the lack of information or knowledge (selected by 16 of 30 countries) – uncertainties as a barrier was selected 12 times, lack of data (such as socio-economic, climate and other physical data) was selected seven times, lack of knowledge exchange selected three times and lack of knowledge generation selected two times. Dealing with these latter barriers may enhance capacity or increase political commitment/will, but the responses suggest that although lack of information and knowledge are barriers to adaptation, barriers related to capacity and political commitment/will are considered more important.
