Planning for Adaptation to Climate Change - Guidelines for Municipalities

These Guidelines are intended to assist local communities in formulating Local Adaptation Plans (LAPs) or implementing some steps of it, by providing useful theoretical elements together with practical examples taken from the experience gained by the Partners within the ACT (Adapting to Climate Change in Time) Project. In order to make the guidelines as accessible as possible to non-experts and beginners in the field of climate change, in some cases simplifications of concepts and approaches have been used. The Guidance follows the adaptation policy cycle within the process proposed within the Adaptation Support Tool of the Climate-Adapt Platform.
