The European Environment Agency published a new report on "National adaptation policy processes in European countries - 2014". This document provides a Europe‑wide state of play for adaptation activities. It offers up‑to‑date and targeted information to support the development, implementation and evaluation of national adaptation policies and measures addressing climate change.
The report draws on the results of a self‑assessment survey conducted on national adaptation policy processes in Europe. In May 2013, a survey was sent out by the European Environment Agency (EEA) to authorities in countries responsible for coordinating adaptation at national level (the 32 EEA member countries, and in Croatia in July 2013 as a new EU Member State and EEA member country). Thirty EEA member countries provided their responses on a voluntary basis. Thanks to the high response rate and the wealth of information provided by these European countries, the report presents a unique collection of information and the largest and most comprehensive analysis of national adaptation policy processes in Europe, to date. The full report is available on the EEA website: http://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/national-adaptation-policy-processes
