More than 70% of the 167 European cities are not adapting to climate change in a consistent and coherent way, according to a research study published in Nature Climate Change. Their climate risk assessments, policy goals, adaptation measures and monitoring programmes are not aligned with the goals that societies have adopted. The study demonstrates how assessing consistency in adaptation plans can enhance understanding and help reduce the adaptation gap.
