Adapting to the impacts of climate change

Description

Significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions need to be complemented with adaptation policies. By preparing for a changing climate, policy makers can better protect communities, businesses and natural assets.

The OECD is working with countries to put in place the right policies in order to assess and prepare for climate change. This brochure provides the key lessons learnt as countries move from planning to implementing adaptation. It includes challenges and recommendations for climate adaptation, with a focus on OECD member countries.
