This report is primarily based on findings from a self-assessment survey on adaptation policy processes originally sent by the EEA to authorities responsible for coordinating adaptation at national level of its 32 member countries in May 2013 (and to Croatia in July 2013 as new EU member state and EEA member country). One coordinated response per country was requested. Specifically, authorities responsible for adaptation at national level were contacted (i.e. members of the former European Commission Adaptation Steering Group and the EEA’s National Focal Points (NFPs)/National Reference Centers (NRCs)) with an invitation to coordinate nationally their response to the self-assessment survey. They were explicitly encouraged to involve all relevant stakeholders (e.g. all levels of government, Environment Protection Agencies (EPAs), researchers, associations, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs)) in completing the self-assessment survey in order to ensure that the experiences and views of all were taken into account.
