Pre Budget 2014-15 Campaign Adaptation Experiences In Africa: most national governments are initiating governance systems for adaptation. Disaster risk management, adjustments in technologies and infrastructure, ecosystem-based approaches, basic public health measures, and livelihood diversification are reducing vulnerability, although efforts to date tend to be isolated. In Europe: adaptation policy has been developed across all levels of government, with some adaptation planning integrated into coastal and water management, into environmental protection and land planning, and into disaster risk management. In Asia: adaptation is being facilitated in some areas through mainstreaming climate adaptation action into national development planning, early warning systems, integrated water resources management, agro forestry, and coastal reforestation of mangroves.
