Adaptation to Climate Change (Communication)

In principle, it is appropriate to take measures to adapt to the negative effects of climate change. At the present time, however, the appropriate individual adaptation strategies cannot always be reliably determined. Where no cross-border effects are likely, making the harmonisation of adaptation strategies mandatory is ill-conceived. The build-up of knowledge about the likely consequences for the climate and the effectiveness and cost of the adaptation measures is necessary. Examining whether industrial standards take sufficient account of climate change is sensible.
