Typical barriers in (national) adaptation planing and potential contribution of the vulnerability sourcebook to overcome them. Own summary
| Climate change information | Climate resilient development awareness | Priorities for climate resilient development | Capacity of stakeholders and institutions | Learning, monitoring and reporting on progress | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barrier | Descriptive, too broad/narrow, methodologically flawed data; lack of evidence about interplay between adaptation measures and development goals | Limited awareness; decision makers underestimate relative importance of adaptation measures in relation to other development goals | Adaptation priorities based on limited information and stakeholder involvement; poor reliability, ownership and legitimacy | Limited ability of stakeholders and institutions to manage climate information; limited science-policy integration | Lack of capabilities and knowledge to determine, measure and report on the achievement of adaptation objectives, thereby improving adaptation planning |
| Contribution Sourcebook Vulnerability | Demand-driven, scaled, empirically grounded data | User-friendly evidence on climate impacts, vulnerabilities, as well as the relative importance of adaptation measures | Participatory and informed approach to improve reliability, ownership and legitimacy of adaptation priorities | Involvement and capacity building, development of national climate service providers | Providing information for determining demand-driven adaptation objectives , creating a baseline, and by repeating the assessment, providing information on progress that can feed into a reporting system |
