One can expect in future that the relatively slow pace of adaptation implementation (IPCC, 2014) in terms of reducing vulnerabilities to climate change may change when uncertainties (e.g. with regard to the frequency of extreme weather events) decrease and/or are better understood, or when projected climate change impacts materialise more visibly. One of the key challenges at that stage will be to shift from a primarily reactive and soft policy response pattern to an anticipatory one, in particular in sectors that as yet demonstrate little interest in climate change adaptation (Steuer & Bauer in Prutsch et al., 2014).
