Abstract

Mainstreaming of adaptation to climate change is recommended by many international agencies and authors of climate change literature in order to guarantee more efficient use of financial and human resources than occurs when adaptation is designed, implemented, and managed as a series of stand-alone activities. Nevertheless, there is ongoing debate over how to proceed in order to achieve effective mainstreaming, at what level to act, on what topics to concentrate, and what type of initiative should be prioritized.

The first section situates the mainstreaming of adaptation to climate change within the more general and consolidated strategy of the Environment Integration Policy, and outlines the current process of conceptualizing the question. The mainstreaming approach is compared to the action-spec
