Such activities do not directly reduce people’s vulnerability, but train them to adapt to the current climate, to consider future climate change in their decision making and to be prepared for extreme events. Climate change research also supports risk reduction by supplying information that is necessary to understand where training, policy and risk reduction activities are most needed. Finally, coordination activities ensure that there is a dialogue between stakeholders, that research is disseminated and that community of practice is strengthened. Climate change affects each of these sectors differently, calling for tailored adaptation responses. Across the sectors, it is relevant to consider appropriate policy measures, education, training and awareness raising needs, possible research gaps and co-ordination measures. Table 6 provides a few examples of sectoral activities sensitive to climate change as well as related enabling activities.
