ii) assessing adaptation options: appraising options regarding their effectiveness in addressing potential impacts from climate change, their implementation time frame, direct and indirect effects in environmental, social and economic terms as well as costs and benefits, and other criteria.
iii) prioritising adaptation options: on the basis of (i) and (ii), select preferred adaptation options to be further developed and implemented.
