Understanding the magnitude of the climate change adaptation (CCA) at a local scale is incomplete and is constrained by a limited understanding of if and how adaptation is taking place. Furthermore, it appears that CCA is a cross-cutting issue in all local policies and its impacts will affect the policies and plans of several sectors. The integration of adaptation in other urban policy sectors, also called ‘‘mainstreaming climate adaptation,’’ will enhance our understanding of the concept as well as the barriers and opportunities that influence these integration processes. This will also help us to explore strategies for overcoming barriers, and to create opportunities promoting more resilient cities and towns.
