Abstract

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.

通过适应计划的一致性解释适应差距

当适应努力未能满足适应需求时，就存在适应差距。尽管将这一差距概念化并付诸实施具有挑战性，但我们认为，应首先将气候风险与政策目标、措施以及监测和评估相结合——我们将其称为适应政策中的“一致性”。通过一项全面的欧洲研究，我们展示了评估适应计划的一致性如何能够增进理解并帮助缩小适应差距。
