Since only a few countries are evaluating their implemented adaptation measures there is still debate about ‘what successful adaptation looks like’. Thus European countries should not necessarily have common indicators to measure success but should strive for a common understanding of success and also what contributes to failures (Chan, 2013). The UK example goes beyond reviewing specific objectives and demonstrates a broader purpose for the evaluation. The ASC (ASC, 2011) applies its adaptation framework (“adaptation preparedness ladder”) to answer three key questions in the context of a number of key themes or sectors:

1. Is the UK becoming more or less vulnerable to risks from current and future climate?
2. Are we seeing sufficient uptake of low-regret adaptation actions?
3. Are long-term decisions systematically accounting for climate risks?
