7 National Adaptation Strategy (2010)Collect information and consolidate knowledge Participation, awareness raising and dissemination of information Reduce vulnerability and increase response capacity Int. cooperation with the EU, UNFCCC and other international fora OBJECTIVES Coordination Group Overall coordination: Portuguese Environment Agency (APA) Sectoral groups coordinators Ministry of  Foreign Affairs Autonomous Regions National Association of Portuguese Municipalities Scientific Panel Sectoral Working Groups Spatial planning and cities Water resources Energy and industry Human health Safety of people and assets Biodiversity Agriculture, forests and fisheries Tourism Coastal areas Each working group is chaired by the relevant public organization and involve the major stakeholders of the respective sector. Responsible for: Categorising and quantifying the impacts of climate change on the sector Defining options and tools for action Promote research Identify funding options Mainstreaming adaptation in policies and instruments National Adaptation Strategy (2010) ENAAC approved by the CMR 24/2010 MAIN ASPECTS Mainstreaming Clear focus on promotion of adaptation at sectoral level No operational character of an action plan, instead incentivised the sectoral groups to develop and adopt their own adaptation action plans Horizontal coordination 9 priority sectors Each involved their set of stakeholders in the discussions and developments of ENAAC Vertical coordination Acknowledgment that is at the local level that many adaptation measures will be defined and put into practice Autonomous Regions of Azores and Madeira + National Association of Portuguese Municipalities:

8 ENAAC’s Progress ReportMain difficulties and gaps that should be addressed on the revised strategy Strengthen the interaction and coordination between sectors Reinforce ENAAC´s governance structure (better synergies) Better support on scientific knowledge Stronger focus on implementation of adaptation measures Possible introduction of legal obligations and their alignment with the core of the climate policy ENAAC’s Progress Report September 2013 Identification of sectoral vulnerabilities and barriers for adaptation Identification and priorization of adaptation sectoral measures Strengths and weaknesses observed on ENAAC ENAAC 2020

11 Main goals of ENAAC 2020 Update, develop and promote knowledge on climate change and potential impacts, risks and consequences, including those related to extreme weather events Implement adaptation measures Promote mainstreaming in sectoral policies Improve the level of knowledge on climate change Promote integration and monitoring of adaptation to climate change in priority public and sectoral policies and in the main instruments of spatial planning at national, regional and local level Evaluate the current capacity to adapt and prioritize the implementation of options and adaptation measures that moderate future negative impacts and/or help to take advantage of opportunities arising from climate change
