Planning adaptation

In context of this report, planning adaptation activities include the following tasks (based on EC, 2013):

1. identifying possible adaptation options: collecting and describing a wide spectrum of possible adaptation options, including soft, green, grey and combined measures
2. assessing adaptation options: appraising options regarding their effectiveness in addressing potential impacts from climate change, their implementation time frame, direct and indirect effects in environmental, social and economic terms as well as costs and benefits, and other criteria.
3. prioritising adaptation options: identifying and assessing adaptation options typically detect more adaptation options than can reasonably be implemented, especially in the short term and taking financial limitations into consideration. Thus, specific adaptation actions need to be prioritised.
