  1. Preparing the ground for adaptation
  2. Assessing climate change risks and vulnerabilities
  3. Identifying adaptation options
  4. Assessing and selecting adaptation options
  5. Implementing adaptation

Solutions
How can you enhance your climate change adaptation planning with powerful stakeholder engagement and citizen mobilisation strategies?

The Citizen Engagement Manual will guide you through how to engage stakeholders and citizens throughout the six main steps of the climate change adaptation planning process described in the Regional Adaptation Support Tool (RAST).

It presents tried and tested tools and methods that can help you take a ‘whole-of-society’ approach that leaves no one behind. The manual is underpinned conceptually by four elements: communicate, engage, connect and enable (action).
