Adaptation knowledge to inform policy-making is reported to have increased in the last five years

27 out of 30 responding countries either agree (20) or strongly agree (7) (Austria, Belgium, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Spain) with the statement that the amount of adaptation-related knowledge to inform policy has increased in their countries during the last five years. Two countries (Czech Republic, Estonia) indicate that there had been no change in the production of adaptation knowledge during this period, one indicates lack of knowledge (Liechtenstein), but none of the responding countries disagrees. For 25 out of 29 countries understanding of the impacts, risks and/or vulnerabilities to climate change forms the basis for developing  adaptation objectives in their countries, with the remaining ones indicating either a neutral opinion (Estonia, Latvia) or lack of knowledge on this topic (Liechtenstein, Norway).
