Adaptation is intricately linked with non-climatic developments and takes place in a dynamic societal context. The identification of optimal and appropriate adaptation strategies is therefore fraught with difficulties. current climate variability and extreme climate events. We aim at contributing to approaches and considerations for adaptation and mitigation and improved ways of integrating present-day best practices with the longer-term strategies to cope with uncertain future climates.

Adaptation strategies are needed at all levels of administration: at the local, regional, national, EU and also the international level. Due to the varying severity and nature of climate impacts between regions in Europe, most adaptation initiatives will be taken at the regional or local levels.

Climate change is no longer a debate; it is now a widely accepted fact. The unprecedented global attention in 2007 to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (Bali, December) and to the Fourth Assessment Report of the WMO/UNEP Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is testimony to the high priority given to climate across all regions and socio-economic sectors.
