Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases and repealing Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 (OJ L 150, 20.5.2014, p. 195).
Regulation (EC) No 1099/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008 on energy statistics (OJ L 304, 14.11.2008, p. 1).
‘Adaptive capacity’ as defined in the Fifth Assessment Report of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC AR5): ‘The ability of systems, institutions, humans and other organisms to adjust to potential damage, to take advantage of opportunities, or to respond to consequences.’
The list is not exhaustive.
Member States shall report existing environmental, economic and social pressures that are likely to be significantly affected by climate change: e.g. loss of biodiversity, poor harvest, energy poverty, unemployment, migration.
Member States shall select key sectors among the following: Agriculture and food, biodiversity (including ecosystem-based approaches), buildings, coastal areas, civil protection and emergency management, energy, finance and insurance, forestry, health, marine and fisheries, transport, urban, water management, ICT (information and communications technology), land use planning, business, industry, tourism, rural development, other [please specify].
Where relevant, Member States shall also consider secondary effects of these hazards, such as forest fires, spread of invasive species and tropical diseases, cascading effects, and multiple hazards occurring at the same time.
The analysis outlined in points (i) to (iv) shall apply the best available science for vulnerability and risk analysis by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the latest Commission guidance on the climate proofing of the Union-funded projects.
Member States shall report the title, year of adoption and status [superseded / adopted / completed and submitted for adoption / being developed] of each NAS and NAP.
Aspects to consider include decision making, planning and coordination related to adaptation strategies, policies, plans and goals, addressing cross-cutting issues, adjusting adaptation priorities and activities, implementing adaptation actions, including facilitating action to avert, minimise and address the adverse effect of climate change.
Including Article 6(1) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (OJ L 347 I, 20.12.2013, p. 924)
Throughout the Annex, ‘sub-national’ refers to local and regional.
Including those institutional, governance-related and other barriers that restrict the adaptive capacity as identified in the vulnerability assessment.
Including nature-based solutions and actions leading to mitigation co-benefits and other relevant co-benefits
The summaries shall cover also efforts to build resilience and avert, minimise and address the adverse consequences of climate change, and include an explanation how gender perspectives have been taken into account.
Member States shall provide an overview of available information on private sector plans, priorities, actions and programmes, public/private partnerships, and other relevant private adaptation initiatives and/or projects.
Member States shall report on approaches, systems used, transparency and indicators.
The additional investment that makes a project (that would have been realised anyway) climate resilient.
Member States shall report on investment in adaptation actions by the following sectors: Agriculture and food, biodiversity (including ecosystem-based approaches), buildings, coastal areas, civil protection and emergency management, energy, finance and insurance, forestry, health, marine and fisheries, transport, urban, water management, ICT (information and communications technology), land use planning, business, industry, tourism, rural development; other [please specify].
Based on the monitoring and evaluation methodology as reported under point 4.1.
Member States may report on the good practices and lessons learnt in the following areas, when relevant: Climate modelling activities and methodologies; assessment of climate impacts, vulnerability and risks to climate change, including adaptive capacity; institutional arrangements and governance at the national level; policy and regulatory changes; coordination mechanisms; adaptation priorities; adaptation barriers; adaptation goals, objectives, undertakings, efforts, strategies, policies and plans; efforts to integrate climate change adaptation into development and sectoral policies, plans and programs; integration of gender perspectives into climate adaptation; integration of indigenous, traditional and local knowledge into climate adaptation; stakeholder engagement; climate risk communication; monitoring and evaluation; strengthening scientific research and knowledge; disaster risk reduction and management, innovative adaptation solutions and innovative financing mechanisms.
Excluding information on support to developing countries referred to in Part 2 of Annex VIII of Regulation (EU) 2018/1999.
Specific transfers reported by Member States pursuant to Article 21(2) of this Regulation need not be reported in Part 2 of this Table for the following year.
