Through its general association, the local level has been drawn into national policy on adaptation as one of the partners to the NAS trajectory.
This study analyzes the time sensitivity of social preferences for preservation policies of adaptation to climate change stresses.
This article applies a 'knowledge brokering' approach to contextualise the development of an integrated computer modelling tool into the real world policy context of adaptation of agriculture to climate change at the EU level.
It is worth noting that the above scenarios can take place even for sufficient drug stockpiles for which run-out does not occur, if a policy for adaptation (e.g., reduction) of treatment at the population level is implemented due to wide-spread drug-resistance [ 15].
Furthermore, we advise assessing the availability of 'no-regret' options, which make economic or societal sense due to co-benefits or health benefits in the current climate, and the 'climate and health' co-benefits of adaptation policy on other policy-issues.
We propose a way to operationalize the concept of adaptation policy, provide a narrower description of the research designs for policy change or outcomes analysis, and finally discuss possible measurements concepts.
The examination of adaptation policy documents and the modelling of best practice for such policy development, particularly for climate vulnerable groups, is a neglected area.
This contribution proposes a structured approach for designing climate adaptation policies based on the concepts of Adaptation Pathways, Adaptive Policy Making, and Real Options Analysis.
The researchers believed that the involvement of all stakeholders throughout research planning and design, conduct of research and result dissemination gave them ownership of the research and thus increased the likelihood of policy adaptation and implementation.
Like the global mitigation policy debate, the design of adaptation solutions is a social process.
Service orientation is employed to facilitate the changes of adaptation policy.
