Risk and vulnerability assessments are available for the majority of European countries

Risk and vulnerability assessments can provide important information for climate change adaptation policies, although the results from such assessments are not a prerequisite for the development of national adaptation strategies (a document which articulate a country's strategic vision with regard to climate change adaptation). Their importance, however, is much higher for implementing adaptation through action plans (see the case of the UK National Adaptation Programme).
