In this section, we describe the current status of knowledge generation and use in European countries with a focus on risk and vulnerability assessments and adaptation to climate change. This is based on information compiled from answers to nine questions referring to this topic. All questions but questions 18 and 19 were close-ended, with pre-defined multiple choices. In certain closed questions, respondents were given the chance to provide additional information in a dedicated space provided under the multiple choices ('Other' category).
