the 8 key topics are not immediately identifiable. the numberimng in the green circles create confusion
Addressed. New graph has been developed
I agree this will be the most possible way to let the adaptation process run. But I wonder how you will deal with processes that are going from 1 or 2 to 5. In Belgium the adaptation coordination process was started in 2007 (eg making adaptation plan/strategy) but the water sector incorporated already sea level rise into the Sigma-plan. So how are you going to deal with this kinds anomalies in your chain?
Addressed - emphasis that adaptation is an iterative process
It could be useful to better specify what it is meant by each stage of policy cycle (e.g. what it is meant by "agenda setting", "formulation", and so on...).
Acknowledged - These terms are explained in the Glossary
4. Implementing adaptation...: General comment: How is ensured that respondents who fill the self assessment understand the same by using implementation to describe the state of process in his/her country? From our point of view providing information or mainstreaming is not part of implementation, we see this as parts of earlier stages of the policy cycle. Therefore we ask for including our specific approvals of the text given in the comments below.
Acknowledged - for the SA, we have provided a glossary in order to foster common understanding. But besides, this aspect is inlcuded in the section on limitation of the SA.
5. The importance...There is also, so far, limited experience ...: General comment: Stakeholder involvement is in Germany a very important part of the adaptation process. Stakeholders were and are involved in planning, implementing and developing a monitoring system. Therefore we ask for including our specific approvals of the text given in the comments below.
