This book presents the best practices necessary to embed climate change adaptation in the planning processes among the Adriatic coastal communities. Six coastal regions, which are distributed in the Northern, Central, and Southern Adriatic Basin in Italy and Croatia, were taken as reference areas. The book also introduces the state-of-the-art climate change adaptation strategies envisioned or implemented at national and regional governance levels in Europe. Additional details at the sub-regional scale were included in the analysis where possible. Moreover, these strategies were compared to the current and future climate trends on the Adriatic scale, in order to concentrate adaptation efforts on the expected risks. Based on the collected strategies, integrated with a further literature review extended to areas outside the Adriatic Basin, the book promotes a novel database of adaptation actions that includes targets, actors, expected results, and the timing for implementation. Such a database, called the Climate Menu, is publicly available on a web platform designed for the needs of public authorities and other stakeholders to undertake the reduction of climate risks.
