Bottom up Adaptation Strategies for a Sustainable Europe

Policy integration and knowledge use in the EU adaptation strategy

This BASE project outcome reviews the policy integration and knowledge use in the EU adaptation strategy at the EU level. An understanding of policy integration and knowledge use in the EU adaptation strategy is essential when one considers its implementation. The effectiveness of the strategy will depend on actions in a wide range of policy areas that do not necessarily have adaptation to climate change among their primary objectives. The report examines the structure and logic of the adaptation strategy and explores how the concept of policy integration is reflected in practice in two policy areas of interest, coastal management and rural and cohesion policies.
