The relationship between a national adaptation policy and implementing adaptation cannot be answered unambiguously from the results of the self-assessment survey. However, it is clear that countries with a longer history in adaptation policy making are also more active in implementing adaptation activities. Nevertheless, more research is needed on how (and under which conditions) public policies can most effectively foster adaptation implementation, including the institutional mechanisms that govern this process (e.g., see Biesbroek, 2014).
