Key messages from this brief include:

  1. Key sectors remain vulnerable to climate change impacts due to inadequate adaptation responses.
  2. Barriers to effective sectoral climate change adaptation readiness include inadequate vulnerability assessments, inadequate sector-specific adaptation policies, insufficient sector funding, inefficient data and information management and limited cross-sectoral coordination.
  3. National climate change adaptation planning and investment efforts need to more effectively engage civil society.
  4. Key strategies to enhance climate change adaptation readiness require improved sectoral adaptation policy and planning, cross-sectoral coordination and civil society engagement and building on lessons learned.
