Adaptation actions are the actions that are planned in order to meet the adaptation targets set for each sector.

What should be included in adaptation actions?

What key information should be considered from the RVA?

Prior to defining adaptation actions, local governments should have developed an RVA. The following information from the RVA should be considered when setting actions:
  • Local government context
  • Historical and projected climate change information
  • Current climate hazards and the key sectors, services and population groups impacted by them
  • Anticipated future hazards and how these are expected to affect key sectors, services and population groups
  • Factors that support or challenge adaptive capacity

How should actions be linked to the adaptation vision and sectoral targets?

  • Prior to defining adaptation actions, local governments should have set an overarching adaptation vision and sector targets.
  • Adaptation actions should be set to directly meet each of the sectoral targets set by SEACAP stakeholders. They should also contribute to the overarching adaptation vision for the city’s SEACAP.
  • Actions should be based on existing national and local efforts/projects/strategies that are contributing to building the city’s resilience to climate hazards.
