Adaptation implementation is an ongoing process and more progress is likely to be seen in future

Countries report to continue working on implementing adaptation in the future by using different approaches: some countries plan to finalise their adaptation strategies or action plans in a next step (e.g. Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Romania, Slovakia) and others put effort in follow-up initiatives (e.g. Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, UK). Germany for example will present, within the legislative period 2013-2017, a progress report that sets out future measures and instruments to be taken by the German Federal Government. Other countries are currently working on establishing legislation to facilitate mainstreaming of climate change adaptation across various sectors (e.g. Malta). The government of Ireland is also in the process of preparing a legislative basis for actions on climate change including adaptation actions. Finland currently investigates various policy instruments in terms of their suitability to promote adaptation in different sectors most effectively. Countries such as Norway work on establishing climate services with the aim to bring adaptation to the attention of the broad public. In Denmark, the Ministry of Environment supports financially the development of green technologies, including new climate adaptation solutions.
