Understanding the role of awareness of the need for adaptation requires further work 

The analysis of the responses to the self-assessment survey reconfirms that adaptation can be motivated by a number of factors, of which awareness of the need for adaptation can contribute, even in the broadest sense. Our understanding of the role of this awareness as a contributing factor is in part compounded by the complex nature of adaptation. For the most part adaptation actions are not isolated from other decisions, policy and activities and they are developed, delivered and evaluated in a specific context (e.g., socio-economic, cultural, and political) at the local, regional, national or multi-national scale, but are also influenced by international factors (e.g., financial markets, international politics and trade).
