This guide presents adaptation as dynamic policy cycle that begins with risk and vulnerability assessments, followed by strategy planning and resource allocation. Implementation then translates these plans into concrete measures across sectors. Monitoring and evaluation provide the feedback needed to refine approaches and inform future action. It highlights good practice in risk and vulnerability assessment, stakeholder engagement, prioritization, financing, and multilevel governance.
