 Adaptation to climate change is a complicated issue because generally, it is hard to say to what kind of change exactly a society must adapt in the future, and who will have to make the decisions about it. Scientific uncertainty about climate change means that it is hard to predict where the availability of water for agriculture will change, how much it will change, and sometimes even whether it is likely to decrease or increase. Adaptation is therefore not just a set of clear technical or administrative measures that have to be taken. Rather, it should be seen as an overarching issue that calls for policy and administration to become more flexible in resource management and able to handle surprises and unexpected change. In other words, adapting to climate change means to reduce vulnerability and to become more resilient.
