Towards Sustainable Adaptation Pathways | Umweltbundesamt

In 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Paris Agreement, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction were adopted, linked by a common emphasis on reducing vulnerabilities. This report on the concept of Sustainable Adaptation Pathways (SAPs) is intended to support stakeholders involved in the implementation processes to identify and to use synergies in planning and implementing integrated policies to promote sustainable adaptation. SAPs consist of a set of coherent adaptation strategies to strengthen local adaptive capacities while improving socio-ecological systems.
