Adaptation is a continuous process

Adaptation is a process of continual adjustment which, if successful, will enable socio-economic or environmental goals to be achieved despite a changing climate context. The self-assessment survey shows that countries are planning to use the information from their monitoring and evaluation schemes to revise either their national strategy or action plan. It also shows that France and Finland are carrying out both a mid-term and end of programme review and using the results to feed into a new strategy. It is promising that countries have recognised that adaptation is an iterative process whereby learning from MRE schemes and new information from research are fed back into the process to improve the adaptation intervention. This is also a recommendation by the UNFCCC (2010).
