German Strategy for Adaptation to Climate Change (DAS)
Executive
Strategy
Adaptation Framework
Passed in 2008
The Strategy creates a framework for adapting to the impacts of climate change. It primarily describes the contribution of the Federation, thus acting as a guide for other actors. The Strategy lays the foundation for a medium-term, step-by-step process undertaken in co-operation with the federal states and other civil groups and aimed at assessing the risks of climate change, identifying the possible need for action, defining appropriate goals and developing and implementing options for adaptation measures.
