A vast number of measures can be realized to adapt to climate change. They can be implemented by private or public actors on all levels, long- or short-term. As the field is relatively young there are hardly any standardized procedures and the community is open for exploration and innovations. Here's an overview of a choice of adaptation measures.

The third section of this portal refers to economic issues. Developed countries agreed to financially support developing countries in their climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts. The UNFCCC calls this kind of monetary support [http://agriwaterpedia.info/wiki/Climate_funding Climate funding][http://agriwaterpedia.info/wiki/Climate_finance Climate finance].

Fourth, climate change can also be consideres as a filed of action and window of opportunity for organisations of the [[Opportunities_for_the_private_sector|private sector]]. This refers to the newly-arising branch of companies that are active in climate-related technologies, e.g. energy efficiency: production of solar-driven desalination plants. A second field is the provision of[http://agriwaterpedia.info/wiki/Insurance Insurance]s and micro-insurances for farmers and agribusiness enterprises, e.g. in the case of extreme weather events.
