Capacity can be built by openly and transparently exchanging experiences, methods and approaches. Additional efforts to bring pieces of existing information together (e.g., those from various city networks such as ICLEI) and improve access to and knowledge of adaptation activities on various levels would enhance the exchange of experiences at the level where adaptation often takes place. Systematic data collection targeting stakeholders at the regional and municipality level across member states and amongst private firms would be helpful to have a better understanding of activities, main successes, failures and remaining challenges, and how the local actions are related to adaptation planning at higher administrative levels.
