Mediterranean countries have started implementing adaptation to climate change for a decade. This chapter aims to draw a panorama of this current adaptation effort in contrasted contexts of action – typically developed and developing countries.
The authors identify and discuss early developments of this endeavour, demonstrating its fragmentation and relative lack of ambition. They highlight current disconnections between practice and theory, and insist on the current minimal use of climate information in designing adaptation measures. Finally, they build on the analysis of Mediterranean adaptation practices to provide guiding principles for the future elaboration of adaptation strategies in the region, focusing on timing, integration, and contextualization.
