    Step 3: Identify options for action

    There are many potential options for adapting to climate change and it  is important to identify a wide range of options that can be considered by stakeholders.  Some options may help to cope with present climatic extremes, while others will help once effects of climate change become greater. A good way forward is to develop a sequence of options that can be implemented as effects of climate change become more apparent.
