Figure 2.7 provides an overview of the sectors that are reported to have been or to be covered in national and sectoral risk and vulnerability assessments. Sectoral assessments are distinguished into those led by the ministries in charge of the relevant sector, hereafter referred to as 'led by ministries', and others led by private sector or industry groups. The great majority of the 26 responding countries considered agriculture (23), water (23), forestry (22) and human health (21) in national risk and vulnerability assessments. In conjunction with biodiversity, these four sectors are reported to be most frequently covered in both national and sector-based assessments led by ministries. Only seven countries report information about sector-based assessments led by the private sector or industry (Germany, Lithuania, Portugal, Sweden, Spain, The Netherlands, United Kingdom). In the latter case although interest is shown in certain sectors such as industry and finance / insurance, agriculture is still the sector reported by the largest number of responding countries (five out of seven; Portugal, Sweden, Spain, The Netherlands, United Kingdom).
