Adaptation implementation is suggested to be more strongly driven by the public domain

The results from the self-assessment survey suggest that sectors which mainly fall into the responsibility of private actors (e.g. business and services, industries, finance/insurance as well as tourism) are suggested not to be very active in implementation and as yet they are also seen as less relevant for adaptation across Europe. Furthermore, a high level of stakeholder involvement (i.e. active involvement, partnerships, empowerment) of the private sector in the implementation stage was reported to be still relatively rare (see Key Topic 5). The reported high level of implementation in some sectors may refer more to the development of sectoral government policies than actual adaptation by private actors, such as farmers or water companies.
