Finally, it is important to keep in mind that the climate will continue to change in the future and future
adaptation measures may be required. Maintaining and updating a list of potential adaptation options
will allow responses to climate change to be implemented in the future when there is a need for further
adaptation and/or mitigation and the performance of various options is less uncertain (Willows and

Connell, 2003).

EXERCISE (6)

1. Build on the priority adaptation options from the previous exercise and outline them in
