SPANISH NATIONAL ADAPTATION STRATEGY
THE PNACC (2006 - )
CONDITIONING FACTORS:
Spain is a very decentralised country
Central Government, little management capacity
OBJECTIVES
 Mainstreaming Adaptation into the planning and management of
Socioeconomic sectors and ecological Systems
Generating knowledge and building capacity by establishing a
cumulative and continous process
 Assisting all the relevant actors – public administrations and other
stakeholders – public or private- to help them evaluate the
impacts/vulnerabilities to CC in their particular sector of interest, providing
tools, methods , data and knowledge
 Promoting participatory processes to help define the best likely
options for adaptation to CC
 Spanish response to international commitments

REFERENCE FRAMEWORK FOR THE COORDINATION OF ADMINISTRATIONS’
ACTIONS IN THE EVALUATION OF IMPACTS, VULNERABILITY AND
ADAPTACTION TO CC
Coordination and participation bodies
- Administrations (regions, municipalities)
- Civil Society (syndicates, firms, stakeholders)
- NGOs
Coordination: OECC
Coordination and coherence of work
Same models and scenarios for Spain
Coherence among sectos
Coherence among regions
