KEY MESSAGES
- Adaptation knowledge to inform policy-making is reported to have increased in the last five years.
- Risk or vulnerability assessments are available for 22 of the responding 30 European countries.
- 19 countries report that uncertainties in future climate change projections have been explicitly addressed in adaptation policy process.
- In relation to national risk or vulnerability assessments, European countries report that more information is still needed about the estimation of costs, benefits and uncertainties.
- Risk and vulnerability assessments are still needed at the local level.
