Implement the adaptation policies in individual planning/development decisions and explain clearly to stakeholders what the residual climate risks will be, after the adaptation measures identified have been put in place.

Communicate residual risks in language that can be understood by non-experts.

• Local Level : Engage with communities concerning their responsibilities for addressing climate adaptation, since spatial planning can not provide the public with ‘100% protection’. Provide communities and the private sector with information on practical adaptation actions that they can undertake to manage residual risks.
