This paper provides an assessment of broad trends in progress on assessment and implementation of adaptation to climate change in “developed countries”, defined here as OECD member countries and/or Parties listed under Annex I of the UNFCCC. The analysis shows that climate change impacts and adaptation receive limited attention relative to the discussion of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation policies.
