摘要

An adaptation gap exists when adaptation efforts fail to meet adaptation needs. While conceptualizing and operationalizing this gap is challenging, we argue that it should begin with aligning climate risks with policy goals, measures and monitoring and evaluation—what we refer to as ‘consistency’ within adaptation policy. Through a comprehensive European study, we demonstrate how assessing consistency in adaptation plans can enhance understanding and help reduce the adaptation gap.
