The Adaptation Strategy is an important basis for refining (climate change) targets and measures in updated Development Strategies and can be the basis for e.g. Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs).

Adaptation strategies should build on existing strategic documents and concepts developed at the regional/city level.

The outputs of the AS should be an indispensable basis for subsequently processed spatial planning documents and documentation, e.g. updates of the Principles of Spatial Development of the Region, spatial plans and their amendments, spatial analytical documents, landscape and other spatial studies, etc.
